Just got some krk rp-8 monitors and wondering which cables i should use to connect the mpc 1000 ? (XLR, TRS or RCA) ?

trs is your only option to plug into the mpc. at least on mine. there is a digital output as well, but i just use a pair of 1/4" instrument lines to my interface

ah i meant on the monitor speakers :) on the back of each one is a balanced XLR/TRS input and unbalanced RCA input.

gotcha, i have a pair of maudio bx8a's and am using the xlr to trs. they sound great so i would have to go with that.

ok cool, i am leaning towards that. never dealt with anything but TRS before.
