Would these work/be ideal to connect to the nord lead to a focusrite 2i4 audio interface? They are stereo, but not sure if I need mono ones. I will be ordering 2 of them. Is this correct? Once I get them, do I hook them up to C and D from the back of the Nord 2 Lead. I ask because, the A says mono?

Re: Nord Lead 2 - Stereo or Mono Unbalanced Audio Cables?
That paired set of TS cables would work just fine with the NL2 or any Nord keyboards.

Re: Nord Lead 2 - Stereo or Mono Unbalanced Audio Cables?
I am using a midi to usb cable that is connected to my computer and connected two audio cables from the back of the nord into my scarlett 2i4 interface. However, I'm not getting any sound when playing keys. It works when I connect the audio cables directly to my monitors though. Could there be a malfunction with my interface?
Re: Nord Lead 2 - Stereo or Mono Unbalanced Audio Cables?
Does anything you plug into the Scarlett interface work? Do you have it set up on Windows? Is it set as your default recording device on the computer?
It is obvious the Nord output is OK from your description. I would suspect a setting on the Scarlett interface with the computer before suspecting a malfunction.

Re: Nord Lead 2 - Stereo or Mono Unbalanced Audio Cables?
I only have the nord Lead 2 to test. Yes, I'm working with Windows 10 and just tried setting the default recording device to the scarlett after your reply. Still no joy. I have the it set to line on the scarlett btw. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Re: Nord Lead 2 - Stereo or Mono Unbalanced Audio Cables?
Go to your volume mixer and see if it is muted.
Edit. Also go to your sound screen on recording devices and right click it to view it's properties. On the listen tab, make sure listen is checked.

Re: Nord Lead 2 - Stereo or Mono Unbalanced Audio Cables?
I've done and checked all you recommended and still nothing. I have it set up like this
Output A and B from Nord into back Scarlett Unbalanced 1 & 2
Midi in & out from Nord into computer via USB
Monitors into Line inputs on back of Scarlett
Could there be something wrong with this setup?
I have the Audio cables into the interface. Does the interface send the audio into the monitors then?

Re: Nord Lead 2 - Stereo or Mono Unbalanced Audio Cables?
Midi in and out cables from Nord to comupter via USB has nothing to do with sound. Only midi data.
I assume you have the scarlett connected to your Windows PC and have selected the USB interface from there as the recording device.
But I'm a bit confused. Are you trying to listen from the monitor output of you scarlett or through your PC interface. I don't know if the monitor outputs on the back of the scarlett pass signals straight from your inputs or they route them through the PC before returning to the outputs on the back of the device. I don't have one of these so you might want to read up on the manual on the scarlett.

Re: Nord Lead 2 - Stereo or Mono Unbalanced Audio Cables?
From the manual,
https://d3se566zfvnmhf.cloudfront.net/s ... -guide.pdf
If you want to monitor output of your nord to outputs on back of scarlett, set direct monitor switch to input. If from the computer,set to output.
If you are using TS connectors you will have to set line/inst switches to inst (turn the gain all the way down first).
Set the Stereo/mono switch to stereo.
