Speakers that work with the MPC X SE

The MPC X SE has 1/4" line outputs (Main L/R). Use 2 × TRS to XLR cables for speakers with XLR inputs, or 2 × 1/4" TRS cables for speakers with TRS inputs. These are powered (active) studio monitors with balanced line inputs (about 10–20 kΩ), so the MPC X SE drives them directly. No separate amplifier needed. Never plug a line output into passive (unpowered) speakers. 🔊 New to speakers? Read the Speaker Guide →
