I’ve got the other one and I can report it all works brilliantly! I'm delighted with the result. Like I said, they were much bigger than I imagined so I had to put them on a nearby set of drawers and right next to each other which isn’t ideal but they sound great. I’ve also had to pile my mate’s...
This worked very well! I’ve only got one so far. I’ll get the other one after my next pay day. I set it to -4db on the room control just because I’m in a small room. It sounds pretty good. I also like the light on it. That looks cool!
On a slight negative note, it doesn’t fit on my desk! They...
Ok, thanks guys. I’ll get quarter inch TRS jacks at both ends. I’m guessing I wouldn’t notice the difference if I used normal instrument jacks but I might as well get the ones that are supposed to be better. I’ll update this thread when it’s all set up, or if something goes wrong first! Thanks...
Hi again! Another thing I need to know before I go on a spending spree is what cables do I need? Do you just use normal instrument cables like a guitar lead? The speakers have a choice of XLR or jack inputs. I’ve watched two videos on setting them up and both people bought XLR to quarter inch...
I knew somebody would bring up Brian May. He made his own guitar! Ok, thanks for the info about “Room Control” The monitors will be in a small room and against a wall and one of them will be in a corner!
I’ve had a proper look at my mixer and the control room outputs are two 1/4 inch jacks. I...
As I said in my second post, I could send from a mixer phones/control room output, but it would be exactly the same situation as the Apogee headphones socket. Basically not the Apogee outputs which is what it tells you to use in all the videos on setting up studio monitors. If Apogee did a Duet...
Thanks Rob. I very much like that idea! It might start to become annoying switching between speakers and phones! I'll update this post when I get my first monitor and we'll see how it goes. Thanks again!
Those little switch boxes sound useful. However, according to Jimmy, you can run the monitors from the phones socket of the Apogee so I don’t see the point. I think I will start by buying one monitor and see if that works from the headphones out of the Apogee. If it works Ok I’ll by the other...
The Apogee is for two reasons, recording into the computer which I do on certain occasions, such as if I want to record to a grid, and also when I record to tape I use the effects in Logic. On the guitar I have a delay and on the vocals I have a reverb. This saves having extra pedals or effects...
I could send from the control room/phones out of a mixer. I have been very tempted by these Yamaha HS7s because they have a “control room” 0, -2, -4 switch. Would that be for getting a signal from the control room out of a mixer...
Hi everybody, does anybody know of, or can recommend, a good pair of studio monitors that can run from the headphones socket output of an Apogee Duet? I’ve seen a few videos on setting up studio monitors but they all tell you to set them up using the speaker output. However, my speaker output is...
