    Use radio speakers with pc?


    So i was given some Pure ST-1 and XT-1 speakers, and they are made to use with an Evoke 1-XT radio, which i don't have. Is there any way to connect them up to my PC?

    Do they have their own power supply? Possible they could be used if they have the 3-conductor/stereo mini plug for use in other devices.

    No independent power supply

    "Computer speakers" have a built in amplifier. If these speakers do not have amplifier(s) built it they won't work as is.

    Then No, they won't be usable. The audio port on computers generally don't provide sufficient amplification but some external speakers, without a power supply, may have a USB cable used to get necessary power from a USB port on a computer.

    If the XT-1 and ST-1 have TRS connectors, then they are passive speakers. The only way to use them with a common PC would be with an external amplifier.

    There are a variety of inexpensive Chinese stereo amps on the market. "Lepy" seems to be one name they're sold under in the UK. Presumably your PC has a 3.5 mm output jack. You may need adapters to use the "pure" speakers. (Or, you could simply cut the TRS plugs off and strip the wires to go to the amp.)

    Or, put the speakers up on eBay, They look like they're worth more than a few £ each. Then buy a purpose-made set of PC speakers.

    Ah cool thanks everyone. Sorry for the super late reply, I've been really busy. Would the process be the same to connect to an Amazon Echo? Would I need one of those amps for that too?
