Speakers that work with the OP-Z

The OP-Z has a 3.5mm stereo output. Use a 3.5mm to dual 1/4" cable into the speakers (or into an audio interface). These are powered (active) studio monitors with balanced line inputs (about 10–20 kΩ), so the OP-Z drives them directly. No separate amplifier needed. Never plug a line output into passive (unpowered) speakers. 🔊 New to speakers? Read the Speaker Guide →
