Title	Using Apple Pro Speakers with an amplifier
Introduction	The Apple Pro Speakers (made by harman kardon) are a great piece of technology. They were specially designed for the iMac G4 and the Power Mac G4 MDD (mirrored door drives) series. Those computers had a special connector which supplied both – an audio signal and power – to the speakers. There are some guides which explain how to connect the speakers using a 3.5 mm jack, but this will never be a real solution as these speakers need to be driven by a real amp – and not the line-out of a computer or other audio device. As Griffin iFire converters are expensive and hard to get, this guide relies on a class-d amp, which means that you can revive the speakers for about 40 US dollars.
