I have been looking for some desktop speakers to hook up to my A1200.

If I used an audio cable adaptor would the speakers below be ok for my 1200?

Cheers in advance... also other suggestions welcome..

I would assume any pc speakers would do the job, I've had my amiga running through my DJ Equipment for a giggle, as long as you can connect to the RCA's you should be fine Smile Smile

Any pc speakers work on the amiga as long as they have there own power supply. Oh and a cable like this one obviously to attach it to the amiga with:

Yes it thats cable you need, the other link is the wrong connection as your speakers already have a 3.5mm jack on them

Oh it depends if the speakers you get have the 3.5mm cable wired in (then you want your link) or if it uses a socket (in which case you need the one I linked to).

In the last years of the nineties there were big white speakers that looked very good near to any Amiga. I had Juster Multimedia Speakers (Photo) connected to both my PC and my A500: the sound was powerful and warm. Another interesting thing is that they yellowed together with the Amiga Wink

Cheers,
Oge

I had the exact same pair! my neighbour gave them to me, they were the first proper speakers I ever had for a computer I used to be stuck with the tv speakers before that. What a difference they made!

Indeed the sound was great, but....

You would kill your CRT monitor or TV if they were placed next to it as the magnets in them are dangerously strong! If left long enough the screen will only display properly when they are sat next to it - that bad! Good friends lost good screens because of these back in the 90's! Crying or Very sad


I have a Yamaha set, has two inputs. Amiga Audio & Amiga CD Audio coming out at the same time with no switching or messing about! Very Happy
