Manufacturer's Description
Griffin Technology proudly introduces the ProSpeaker Breakout Cable. This cable allows your Mac to connect any set of home stereo speakers to a Digital Audio PowerMac G4 or new iMac. Your Mac powers the speakers and no additional external amplifier is necessary. Now you can listen to iTunes or movie soundtracks through real audiophile quality speakers like Infinity, Boston Acoustics, B&W, JBL, etc. - and not only through the typical plastic "computer" speakers. The ProSpeaker Breakout Cable connects to Apples Pro Speaker Jack available on the new LCD iMac and all PowerMac G4s over 500 MHz commonly referred to as the Digital Audio PowerMac G4s. This is the same output that Apple uses to connect their Apple Pro Speakers. The other side of the cable contains a pair of spring loaded speaker connectors ready for connecting with speaker wire directly to your speakers. Remember, the power comes directly from your Mac no additional hardware or software is necessary.
What speakers you choose to connect to your Mac is now up to you. Pull out that extra pair of speakers from your home stereo, shop at your local Hi-Fi store for a great pair of bookshelf speakers or use high quality professional studio monitors. With Griffins ProSpeaker Breakout Cable now the choice of speakers is yours.
