New User - Headphone Levels
2000-09-09 by Chris Malme
Hi Recently aquired a DTXpress kit second hand. I already part-own an acoustic kit, and I am planning to use the electric kit to enable me to (a) continue practice when the other guy has the acoustic kit and (b) practice late at night without annoying the neighbours. At the moment, I have been using the kit exclusively with headphones, and the first thing I noticed was that I need to turn the kit up to full volume before I get anything like a reasonable level in the phones. Am I missing an extra control somewhere, or is the headphone level really that low? (I've only been playing drums for a month, so my hearing hasn't gone yet!). It seems a shame that I am going to have to put an amp onto the kit, considering I only want to use headphones. Chris
