Re: New owner:Hi-Hat & Cymbal Adjustments & Amp recommendations

2003-05-16 by padavie

I use the Behringer KX1200 as a stand alone amp when I need that and 
a monitor when I go thru a house PA system.  For the size and power, 
this amp is great and $249.  

I use the Behringer DI20 direct box (set to link mode) when I go thru 
the house PA system.  I connect the KIT to the DI20 (1/4") and 
connect the 2nd 1/4" out back to my monitor (my KX1200) and the DI20 
xlr to the xlr PA input. $19.99
