as Jim said - at least "in the beginning" (we all get requirements creep and G.A.S at some point - LOL)

Even if you wanted studio monitors I'm a little confused with your thinking you needed a "Y" cable??

For the life of me I cannot find this cable,...


if coming off the 2i2 to the 1202FX mixer you just need two (2) TRS cables: the left out of 2i2 goes to say "line 5/6" left of the 1202FX mixer using one TRS cable and the right out of the 2i2 goes to the "line 5/6" right input of same mixer.

PS - assuming that at some point you will go from MIXER to monitors the unbalanced Solo would have been just as good, becasue once in the MIXER it's immaterial since the signal going to the monitors from the mixer out is only as "un-nosiy" as the mixer outputs. You know that "balanced" is for NOISE cancellation not "signal loading" or impedance matching or other similar considerations, right?

even colored speakers can be tamed (somewhat naturalized) with methods described by Jim or using prodcuts lie

http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/arc2/ (JUST an EXAMPLE, not inexpensive but I use it since I have an untreated room and only marginal monitors M-audio AV 40's - it really works)

or this which I see is still on sale for $39!
