[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 193093, member: 5184"] Ok, I think you did misunderstand what I meant... The Apple Pro Speaker are passive speaker. That means thay have no audio amplifier. In the iMac G4 (and the PowerMac G4 since the Digital Audio) there is a 20W audio amplifier built in, which hooks up to the Pro speaker through that special Apple connector. Now, the audio out of any other Mac than those I described before is a line out. Line level sound signals need to be amplified. There is no amplifier in the Pro speaker, and there are no power wires either. They only have left and right audio signal, ground (possibly splitted, so one ground per signal) and some kind of circuitry so the computer will recognise them as Pro speaker (no idea why that is needed, as there are no other speaker with that kind of connector).
