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...

Thanks Dave. The mixer in question is the Behringer Xenyx 802. The dusty specimen can be seen in this photo!

Yeah, the Apogee outputs go into the mixer, the mixer main outs go to the 4track. I can't wait for my monitors to arrive now! :-)

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...

Thanks Jimmy, that’s great news! For these I would just need a stereo 1/4 inch jack to two mono 1/4 inch jack adapter. It’s looking good so far!

The inputs are running the computer! The outputs are running into a tape recording device called a Tascam Porta 2 4 track.

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...

I will confirm these details on Tuesday the 8th of August. I only use this room every two weeks. I know that's a long time to wait! The suspense is annoying me already!

You’re damn right the manual is poorly written and conflicts with information on the console! I will try the control room out with jack leads and see what happens. I guess the output level of the RCA and the Control Room has to be the same as the main mix level to the speakers. Like you said it...

Thanks Sweet Beats. Well, what I’m trying to do is send the main mix output from the mixer to a recording device. The main mix out goes to the speakers so I used the phono (2 track) out. It worked Ok but I’d rather use the control room 1/4 inch jack outs because, and this is quite a long story...

Hi, I’m using a Denon Professional DN-412X mixer. I’m baffled by something and I’d be grateful for any help. https://www.denonpro.com/index.php/products/view/dn-412x I’ve read the instruction manual, which you can find via the link “downloads” on the page link above, and can’t work out what...

Thanks Rob, that HD looks good. I'll get one of those just in case! BTW. Why does it say “style name” PC not Mac? in your screen shot. Did you get the PC version?
