    Hey buying the krk RP6's and wondering about an audio interface for it. I have this interface already: http://www.alesis.com/io2
    But this won't work because it's all inputs right??
    Recommendations on an interface which will be cheap and suitable would be appreciated.
    I'm a newbie at all this jazz so be gentle with me..:p

    that interface has outs. it's perfect for what you want.

    you just need two trs to trs cables

    or two trs to xlr cables

    the outs are the two hex bolted jacks on the back of the IF
    ( where it says (MAIN L -R ) on the sliver top

    Well XLR is much harder to break than TRS is, but other than that there is no difference at all. For an install at the back of a rack that will not be touched very often, TRS is reliable enough and it's cheaper.
