Monitor Outputs 003 Rack - Line Level?

[jonbridges]

This should be a simple one for someone out there.

I want to plug the Monitor O/P's of my 003 Rack into the line level I/P of my desktop speakers. That way I can use a splitter to mix my internal sound card O/P, with my 003 O/P, and share speakers.
Are the monitor outputs hotter than line level? I just don't want to get burned and destroy my speakers.

I could just use the HP O/P on the front but they don't have a detent and I feel my gain stage is garbled enough already if I do this.

I'm not clear on part of this. The 003 outputs are at line level, but what are the speakers? If you are talking about computer speakers(with the typical mini-plug input), those would not be a good choice here. If you want to feed the computer audio out(say for all non-Pro Tools sounds) then you could feed the 003 AND the computer output to a small mixer to combine them into a single set of studio monitors. Or use a monitor/source selector like the Samson C-Control, Mackie Big Knob or Presonus Central Station.
