OK looks like this might be sorted!!

On checking, the Airport Express does have a 3.5-mm audio minijack for analog or optical digital sound. I had been using TOSLINK and did not realise that it was analog too. SO .. as the Genelecs ARE powered, all I need is a 3.5mm minijack to RCA phono and I’m off and running.

Not sure what ‘comes out of’ the Airport Express, but here’s hoping that it’s line level.

Thanks all.

Ty,

Thanks for the response and link. Suddenly starting to feel out of my depth!!

The Genelec specs state “The 6010A has an unbalanced RCA
10 kOhm audio input connector” … “can be connected to a line level audio source with either 3.5 mm Jack or RCA type audio connectors”.

The Airport Express is a TOSLINK (presumably S/PDIF at protocol level). Guess I need a S/PDIF TOSLINK to RCA (Phono plug) converter which looks like the one you suggested.

Any thoughts?
