One is a pair of line-level plug inputs that work just fine with standard stereo cabling. It even has a five-band equalizer useful for making things sound right through its built-in speakers. In general, I prefer small music stereo speakers for such things, not any kind of "speakers for computers". IMO, you get better quality speakers for less money that way. -- David gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx authenticity, honesty, community _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
