Can you use these speakers in a passive mode, so as to attach to a home stereo amplifier?
New User U
on Nov 6, 2019
BEST ANSWER: If I understand your question, I think you are asking, “can I bypass the internal amplifier of this loudspeaker enclosure and instead peer it with an external amplifier or receiver,” the answer is no. However, there are RCA outputs (1 stereo set and one subwoofer in mono) that Will pass a line level non amplified signal out to an external amplifier or receiver input. I would also assume the stereo set is “full range”, and that the mono sub out has some type of low pass crossover filter to only send sub bass frequencies, but I can’t find the manual now. In any case this sub out does not appear to have an adjustable crossover point and I can’t tell u what frequency the fixed crossover point. I consider myself a bit of an audiophile and I will say these are pretty well balanced speakers for casual ambient listening in one room, nice fill. Or maybe used as a computer speaker for gaming, etc. one unit has plenty of punch and good sound quality for near field listening.

No, not unless you open it up and bypass the internal amp. It has a internal 120w amplifier in it. You are much better off buying a Passive speaker for the money. If your home stereo amplifier has a Pre Out you can also connect it that way.

Nope. But I don't think you'd want to. There are better passive-only speakers out there to use. This one is great for the kitchen or some place far from your home stereo.

I dont think so. These are self powered (self amplified) units. They seem best when used stand alone. They are also bluetooth and that is their strength.

No, they are amplified all the time. If your home stereo has "Pre-Amp" unpowered outputs you could connect it to that. Otherwise/no.

What's the maximum range for pairing two of these units? I'd like to put one in another room about 30 feet away from the other unit. Also, it's my understanding one channel becomes left, the other right. Is there any lag between the units as a result? Compliments to Monoprice. The audio quality is outstanding. Bump the treble up a couple of notches and the unit shines. Steely Dan's exceptionally polished recordings come through in all their sonic glory. 👍

BEST ANSWER: The maximum we tested the stereo pairing was 15 feet, but it wasn't through a wall as they were in the same room.

I have them about 10 feet apart in one room with a clear path between and the Bluetooth drops out momentarily regularly from one speaker.

I don't know- I plan on building a powered subwoofer for sure though. This speaker overall is pretty good; however, next run it would be great if they could tweak a few things. It definitely peaked my interest so much that I plan on building my own bluetooth speaker with all the feathures I feel this one is lacking- It will cost twice as much, so all in all for the money- This is a great speaker.

When two are linked do they both maintain the volume level of the master or do they need to be adjusted separately?
A shopper

BEST ANSWER: Separately. Also, there's no way to confirm that both are at the same volume level, just have to push the volume buttons on both of them the same amount of times (remote sometimes misses a press)

BEST ANSWER: I have had mine for a few months, but haven’t tried switching between devices. I do find it hard to pair with, and since it has no indicator lights, I’m never quite sure what’s going on until I do get a successful pairing, which isn’t always guaranteed.

I read this in a review on this site: "Only downside is the the pairing only works in Bluetooth mode, not if you have the aux in one or another input". Is it correct that if I use aux or optical then the stereo pairing does not work? I see 2 answers to this question in the list, but one answer says it does work and another says it doesn't. Can we get an official Monoprice answer?

BEST ANSWER: If you are using the aux or optical connections, you don't need the pairing connection. Pairing is the establishment of the radio frequency link between your phone and the speaker.

how do you pair them? is it only through bluetooth??

BEST ANSWER: First, you connect with both speakers via Bluetooth, after that, there is a button in the back of the speakers, you press that, they automatically find each other, and then you have stereo sound. It is a huge difference in sound provided you place them correctly.

This is a GREAT speaker. The sound is rich and full and it definitely fills a good sized room. It is far and beyond the quality of any Bluetooth speaker I have bought previously and that includes Bose and JBL.
