Can you use two M3s as computer speakers

Say if i used a 3.5mm from my computer and split that between two to input in to one M3 on left (3.5); and 3.5 into the other one on the right, would that work?

Yes, that is exactly how I connected mine to my computer. I use the 3.5mm jack splitter cable that was included with my previous BeoLab 4 PC set. I'm sure Steve at SoundsHeavenly produces such cables too. It takes a 3.5 jack stereo signal and outputs the channels separately.

They need a second (or two) to sense a signal, not always ideal, but no dealbreaker.

I tried two A1 a long time ago but they always have a sort of white noise, maybe the inbuilt microphone has something to do with that

i think i have a cable still from SoundsHeavenly i bought when i had the BL4.

These are completely silent when powered down. When they wake up, there is also a kind of white noise noticeable if you put your ears close.

This noise is also there when connected via bluetooth/airplay and when the volume is turned down completely. However, if you pause the content while playing through bluetooth/airplay, they go completely silent too. The M3 then knows it's not supposed to play anything.

When connected through line-in, it has no idea about when you are or are not playing stuff. So as soon as they sense anything, they power up and when you stop playing the noise remains until they go back to sleep a couple of minutes later.

Hi Michael

By doing this, you won’t get stereo separation (i.e. left channel on the left M3 and right on right), except upon Steve sold you a specific cable...
