Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

would it be ok to run a dtx III through  surround speakers like a 
Logitech� Z-5500 Digital just for practicing??

regards 
paul

I'm sure it would certianly be ok. I've ran my DTXpress through my 
regular old stereo system before and kept it at a lower volume, not 
just for practice, but with a low level jam session. Of course it 
didn't sound that great mind you, especially the lows suffered 
greatly. 
One of those Logitech systems with a sub I'd imagine would sound a 
whole lot better! If what you're worried about is damaging your 
Logitech system, keep the volume low at 1st, then bring up. I'm 
guessing it would sound decent enough at a low volume.
Just make sure you run stereo out of your DTXpress to stereo into 
you're Logitech & not stereo out to mono in. I don't suppose mono out, 
split to stereo in would hurt anything however.

All that said, I mainly practice with headphones myself. Especially 
good since my AKG 271 Studio cans are a closed design for isolation of 
stick noise.

Could you just plug it into the headphone jack?  Seems like a safer 
bet if you're concerned about the output of the module.
