Guide note · not an individual product specification
The useful distinction
Understand the requirement.
Plan the left and right analog paths without counting alternative inputs twice. [C152A]
The HS5 specification identifies an internally amplified monitor with balanced input connectors. [C152B]
Bounded facts, visible unknowns
Specifications and limits
Interface to active monitors: one channel per speaker facts and limitations
Workflow boundary
Scoped analog audio documentation; not wiring or compatibility approval. [C152A][C152B]
Verified device list
Not included. Check exact device and accessory documentation.
A boundary, not an omission to guess around.
The two HS5 input jacks are not two independently assignable speaker channels. The patch sheet reserves a shared speaker-input resource and flags attempts to use both on the same unit.
Before you connect
What to check
Identify the exact device and port.
Keep shared channels and controls explicit.
Retain unknown power, mode and cable observations.
Select the interface’s labeled left and right outputs separately. Two row entries are a clearer record than an unexplained stereo cable assumption. The exact routing in software remains outside this worksheet.
Keep power systems separate
This tool is for the documented line inputs on active monitors. It does not match power-amplifier outputs to passive speaker loads, calculate mains compatibility or provide mounting instructions.

The HS5 manual prohibits simultaneous use of its XLR and phone input connectors.
Claim scope: Exact-model analog audio reference; no end-to-end compatibility or electrical approval.
Recorded evidence only. An inspection date, publisher label, source link or generated packet is not independent technical review, hardware testing, fabrication approval or a compatibility verdict.
