Which output connections for iloud?

  • Hi everyone,

    I think I will buy an IK iLoud to listen to my Kemper at home. Sacrilege I know but it’s only for noodling whilst sat on the sofa and I don’t intend to do any mixing or recording. I have yet to hear how it sounds with the Kemper but It ticks a lot of my boxes being small and portable and stereo (ish?) so thought it was worth a punt. Near field monitors won’t cut it for my application as I just want a single box balanced on top of the Kemper - I don’t have anywhere to set up a permanent ‘station’ tbh.

    Anyway, the question is whether I should connect it to the headphone output or the XLR outputs. Any ideas what would be the better option please (and why, just for my education). I should have all the appropriate connections/adapters for either solution and will of course try both if/when I do pull the trigger but good to know people’s thoughts.

    Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    Shawn.
