Using your expensive studiomonitors for general multimedia

[bcnx]

Hi,


is it harmful in any way to use your studiomonitors for regular sound output of your PC (ICQ, DIVx, Winamp,...)


Obviously I'm not talking about pushing to sound to its limits, but driving non CD-quality sounds through those speakers.

I just got these expensive Event Trias and I would hate to see (hear) them being fucked up by wrong usage.



Thx!

I seriously doubt that would be a problem.

Why not drop $12 and get some speakers at the Shack!

I use my Tannoy Reveals all the time with my PC (using my Delta 44) with no problems. I just have to careful to mute them (via my mixer) when I'm done surfing/listening/etc...Those Windows sounds can be annoying when they come blasting through my speakers!

Good luck!

I am still in the process of organizing my studio space, so for now my EV MS-802's are being employed by my home entertainment center.

Does your pc have a 800-1500-watt amp???
Then I don't see any problems either!

Indeed

Pas de probleme at all.
I use my Roland monitors for my computer output too, for years.

On the contrary, it's probably very helpful to listen to as much music as you can on your studio monitors. It'll help with your frame of reference when mixing down.
