Hi all,
I hope I got the right spot for my question. I'm jammin with my guitar & Kemper* with a friend who is playing an e-drum set. Sometimes we add background tracks from my iPod.
We just started and are connecting everything currenty via a small Behringer mixer to a very cheap monitor box (80€). And it sounds pretty unsatisfying ...
Kemper -> to Behringer mixer -> to cheap monitor box
E-drum -> to Behringer mixer -> to cheap monitor box
iPod -> to Behringer mixer -> to cheap monitor box
We are playing in a mid size living room, so we have no option (and no need) to play very loud (just loud enough). Main focus: rock, 80s hair metal ...
We are playing just for fun, we are both beginners and don't want to spend a fortune. On the other hand we want to have fun with the sound and are not students anymore ... Oh, and we don't plan to play in any other bigger environments (no gigs - just us ;)) We might want to add maybe a digital piano, a bass or a singer in the future though ...
My question:
What setup would you use/recommend for satisfying sound in that setting? Is it even possible playing at such a low volume and get a nice sound?
Is the way through the Behringer of the Kemper and the drums to one/two box(es) the right way to go?
If yes, what box(es) would you use? Monitor boxes like Yamaha 2x HS8s? Or rather 1x Yamaha DXR10?
Or a completely different setup? Do the Kemper and drums need their own amp/box maybe?
Does that make sens?
Thanks for any advice
Stef
* I know, a Kemper for a beginner must sound foolish, exagerated ... and it is, of course. But then again it is so much fun!!!!
