1/4" TRS to 1/4" TRS for your equipment. 1/4" is one quarter of an inch, one fourth of an inch, or 0.25 inch.

Thanks man But cant i just plug each speaker using a trs to trs Cable directly into the scalrett 2i2?
I mean I dont neeed a subwoofer and im mixing on it and from what i hear its got enough bass and maybe a bit more than enough so im not gonna need sub or anything like that

Anyways thanks man you definitly helped alot

Is connecting the 2 speakers Using a trs to trs cable something necessary ?!
 
I think you've got it now.

"plug each speaker using a trs to trs Cable directly into the scalrett 2i2" is exactly the same thing as "connecting the 2 speakers Using a trs to trs cable" unless you think I was suggesting connecting the two speaker to each other.
