ACTIVE LOUDSPEAKERS

ARE THERE ANY ACTIVE LOUDSPEAKERS THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH A MACBOOK PRO WITH ONLY LIGHTNING INPUTS. IF I WOULD NEED ADAPTORS WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST?

I don't know enough to suggest something, so I recommend going to your local Apple store or Best Buy to have them help you in getting an adapter. Once you have this, there are several computer speakers you can choose from that have USB inputs (check out Best Buy). Or there are a couple studio monitors available that have USB input: Behringer Studio 50USB - typically $150 Alesis M1 Active 320 USB - $75-100 used on ebay If you want something better than these, then look for a USB DAC, optionally with a volume control, such as Parasound Zdac or something similar. Then you can choose any powered studio monitor from a pro audio company (such as Yamaha HS5 / HS8, or Adam a7x, etc. etc.).

The MacBook Pro doesn't have any Lightning inputs. Depending on the model it has Thunderbolt and/or various versions of USB input. The iPhone and iPad have Lightning ports.
