Hello,
I am about to pull the trigger on 2 reactors for a pc setup.
Until the stereo update is available, could I plug these into my Behringer Uphoria UMC HD 202 audio interface for stereo?
Should I install the spark app on my Windows pc?
I plan to buy them next week.
Many thanks!

I wonder how these beauties perform in a near-field environment.
Keep in mind that the analog input is limited to 48 kHz and up to 96 kHz for optical. Ideally you'd want to use optical but I am not sure how you'd connect the cables to make the 2 phantoms play in stereo.

Thank you for the reply.
I think I need a toslink splitter. Apparently my computer can output stereo toslink so if I get a junction I should be able to feed 2 optical signals to the reactors.
I think....

I've bought two 6.35mm to 3.5mm cables so I can temporarily connect to my pc in stereo.
The phantoms arrive tomorrow so I'll update how I get on

Sure did. Just need to sort out my cable spaghetti now.

Nice! Would you say the phantom reactors are good speakers for near-field use? How do they sound at low volumes?

So far so good but I would imagine they need a bit of space to breathe.
I had to go to work so haven't really listened that much yet. Just wanted a test run.
So far so good.

Do you guys leave the phantoms on all the time or turn off at the back when you are finished using?
