Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Sorry guys. I'm new to this group and this question may have been covered already. I found a lot of Amp msgs, but none answered the specific question.
When I play with other musicians, the sound I hear through my headphones (from the DTX output)is very high quality while the sound coming out of an amp (or even a good PA/Main or monitors)is of a much lesser quality.
Is this a common problem when gigging and if so, are there any answers to this issue.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me and I ask for your patience and understanding if this was already covered...
Thanks.
Rich

hey,rich .....you heard or tried a simmons drum amp?  could try that

I use a 300W bi-amped PA with 15" bass unit which seems to sound pretty good and gets favourable comments.  Even so, it doesn't have to be that loud to start to clip the amplifier so I guess you need a lot of power, particularly for reproducing the kick.  Some sort of equalisation can help, although I tend to adjust that in the module and leave the PA flat.

See page 76 of the Owner's Manual - it is under [UT5] System Utility - LCDcont

Keith.

The easiest way is to download the manuals from here: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/index.php

There are three manuals - it is in the first one - the Owner's Manual.
