Interesting. So they do have unbalanced input. I did think it odd that they didn't have unbalanced (looking at the inputs, which are labelled as balanced), when many other brands have both.
I have to apologise to the OP, if he's gone and bought an interface; insisting it was necessary, when it may not be. Would have been better to look at the manual, rather than go on what is displayed on the rear of the speakers.
Although an interface may not be needed, not sure I'd want to use £200 speakers with just onboard audio. He could always return the interface (assuming he has ordered), and get a DAC instead if he feels the cost of the Scarlett 2i2 is too much along with the cost of the speakers.
