Picking up an xbox 360 soon, and wandering if i can connect it into the monitors im also getting soon?

Cheers in advance

when you say monitors, do you mean audio monitors, or video monitors? well it doesnt matter u can hook em up to both, i have my monitors hooked to my ps3, tho i do it thru the tele with a jack to phono, but on the xbox scart lead there are audio phonos and a video phono. plug the video to ya tele and extend ya audio to ya amp, but if ya lucky enough to have active speakers straight into them. u may have to get a phono extension tho, they are no more than 5 quid...

if ya need n e pics to explain let me know i will sort it.

later lad!

I've got Alesis M1 520s man, to do what you want to do, I'm guessing that you need the connectors shown in the picture below as Alesis 520s have two inputs, 1/4" Jack or XLR.

It depends how far away your monitors are going to be from your 360/TV. If they are right next to them, you probably won't need any extension cables. If you do then go to Maplin and ask for:

2 x 'Phono to 1/4" Jack Adapters'
and
2 x 'Phono Extension Cables' (Make sure one end is Male and the other is Female).

If you are still unsure then ask someone in Maplin and thell them what you are trying to do. Links are below of the things you'll need.

Just buy the cables you need to plug it into your dj mixer. That way you don't have to replug shit every time you want to play xbox.

Just plug it in one of the line inputs, then you can just switch over to it from the phono input.

Sweet, just what i needed mate.. speakers will be 2ft max from the tv so hopefully shouldnt be a problem.

Cheers mate.
