How to Connect a Laptop to DJ Speakers

Connecting your laptop to powered DJ speakers (also known as powered PA speakers) can give you a much richer and louder music experience than your internal speakers or headphones can. The process only requires a few parts and is relatively simple to put together.

Things You'll Need

  • Laptop with an 1/8-inch stereo output jack (headphone jack)
  • Adapter (stereo mini plug (1/8 inch, 3.5 mm) left and righted to two 1/4-inch mono jacks)
  • 2 1/4-inch unbalanced mono audio cables
