Need this cable! Help find name & source for round 9-pin on back of computer speakers

[tuqqer]

I inherited a set of computer speakers (2 small and one subwoofer). It's all there, except this cable that connects from the back of the subwoofer to what I think would be the audio out port on the Mac.

I'm having troubles figuring out the name of this kind of cable, and where I would buy it.

Is anyone good at figuring out what this is?

I think that's a DIN connector, of which there are many variants.

Here's the product page

And here's the user manual

Are you sure you have all of the pieces, looks like there's a control module (pages 6 and 7) that the speakers plug into, and that is what the computer connects to.

Doesn't seem like there's a direct speaker to computer cable.

And the type of connector in your picture is probably a Mini DIN-9.

Crap. You're right. It's missing the whole controller, not just the wire. Dang.

Ok, looks like this will go to Goodwill...

Thanks, all.

Thread over.

Looks like you can get the whole thing for less than $50: http://www.outletpc.com/lg1858.html

thanks for that Amazon link, Deckeda. I may spring for the exact same system. It's actually a really good sound from this set. Amazing that they can sell it for below $40.

Appreciate it.

I'm still stuck on the fact that there's a DIN connector on the back of a speaker.
Sometimes the world just makes sense.

[N-OS X-tasy!]

Might check to see if you can pick up the controller off of eBay before ditching the entire system.
