Risk of using two inputs simultaneously on monitor (KRK Rokit5)

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I'm taking my gear on a weekend away, and trying to minimize what I need to bring.</p> <p>I want to plug in my LP and my OP-1; was planning on bringing those, a KRK Rokit5 monitor, my 2-input USB interface, and my laptop.</p> <p>On a lark, I plugged the OP-1 directly to the RCA input - and I could hear both the TRS input (LP via mixing board) and RCA input (OP-1) perfectly.</p> <p>I found a 4 year old gearslutz post that basically said &quot;No, never do that&quot;: <a href="https://www.gearslutz.com/board/newbie-audio-engineering-production-question-zone/799059-hooking-up-studio-monitors-multiple-inputs.html">https://www.gearslutz.com/board/newbie-audio-engineering-production-question-zone/799059-hooking-up-studio-monitors-multiple-inputs.html</a></p> <p>...but the KRK manual says nothing about not doing it, and it seems to work perfectly.</p> <p>Any thoughts? Am I risking damage to the speaker?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/e_pluribus"> /u/e_pluribus </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/7r7a9q/risk_of_using_two_inputs_simultaneously_on/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/7r7a9q/risk_of_using_two_inputs_simultaneously_on/">[comments]</a></span>
