Audio Splitter

I figured that I might need more then one set of speaker to use in this installation,  so I been searching for the method  for wire a couple of set of pc speaker to one pc/laptop. Turn out that nothing much to be done I just need an adapters, that are available to expand the audio system for a PC to include multiple speakers.

The simplest way to connect two sets of speakers to a PC is to use an audio splitter available at electronics stores. It is essential to use only self-powered speakers with this setup, because a PC does not have built-in amplifiers to drive external speakers.

I don’t buy the audio splitter yet, so no experiment on this at the moment, but I got the instruction how to wire the speaker it seem moderately easy.

Audio Splitter

Things Need:

• PC
• Speaker signal splitter
• Two sets of external speakers

Step 1

Connect each pair of speakers by inserting the plug on the cable from the left-channel speaker into the OUTPUT jack on the right-channel speaker. There should be four speakers wired in two pairs.

Step 2

Connect the mini-plug on the cable from each right-channel speaker to a jack on the signal splitter. The Y-shaped signal splitter has two audio jacks on one end and a mini-plug on the other.

Step 3

Insert the mini-plug on the signal splitter into the AUX OUT or Audio OUT jack on the PC, pushing the plug straight into the jack until it seats with a click.

Step 4

Plug a DC adapter into the power jack on the back of each right-channel speaker, then connect the transformer on the other end of each cable to a surge protector power strip. Plug the power strip into an electrical outlet.

Step 5

Activate the two pairs of speakers by turning the on/off volume-control knob clockwise on each right-channel speaker and adjust the volume to the desired level.
