Default How do I connect my M-audio interface to studio monitors?

Hey y'all! I'm a complete newbie at this so bear with me.

I don't know what kind of cable I need to connect my M-audio interface with my studio monitors. I've attached two pictures - one of my audio interface and one of my studio monitors so you can see what kinds of connections are available.

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Two TRS cables. One from Output 1 to the Left Speaker's TRS L, one from Output 2 to the Left Speaker's TRS R.

Thanks so much Joel! I appreciate your help!

One more question - so there doesn't seem to be a TRS input on my right speaker. I've attached a picture of the back of my right speaker for reference.

How do I get this right studio monitor up and running? Do I connect the left and right monitors to each other using the red and black wire pictured, or am I completely off?

Thanks!

Take a closer look at the rear panel of your speakers. Notice how one set of outputs (with red and black tabs) says "Output to Right Speaker." Also notice how the only input on the right speaker is the kind with red and black tabs. Also notice how your cable is red and black.

I suggest you thumb through the manual for your speakers.
