using PC speakers?

2004-06-02 by drcheongth

Dear all

I've just bought a DTxpress III and of course i blew the budget..I 
was told that i may be able to connect PC speakers with subwoofer to 
the output in the interim before i save up enough to buy an amp.

can anyone confirm this?

thanks a lot!!

I have done this.  You connect it from the headphone output.

 

It is a bit muddy but does free you up from headphones.

 

 

Regards,

 

Gary

Ordinarily, I'd give you definite "no," because your kit either will 
sound like fingernails on a chalkboard if turned up to the point at 
which you can hear it, sound like one hand clapping if turned down to 
the point of not distorting, or self-destruct if turned up to the 
point at which you'd like to hear it. E-drums can fry all but the 
highest-end home stereos and, by extension, computer speakers. 
However, someone recently said that the Logitech Z-2200 computer 
system works with an e-kit. I don't know exactly what the frame of 
reference for the report was--whether it simply didn't distort 
unmercifully or didn't blow up.  Certainly if you've never heard how 
good e-drums can sound through a PA, drum monitor, or keyboard amp, 
you might be tempted to think that the first sound that you hear from 
it on anything is golden. Be that as it may, the Logitech has specs 
that on the surface resemble Yamaha's own entry-level drum monitor. 
As as a stop-gap measure, give it a try. If you get something out of 
it, and it doesn't crash and burn, more power to you. Personally, I'd 
recommend a set of headphones instead. The road is littered with 
people who tried their computer speakers and, for one reason or 
another, regretted it.

I did it. As a mater of fact I bought a high end set of Yamaha PC speakers/w subwoofer and although they worked, the sound was really terrible. Cymbals and pads weren't bad but the kick drum was really distorted. I packaged them back up and returned them the same day. Believe me, you will not be happy with any PC speaker setup. After buying and returning several different keyboard amps and a bass amp, I finally decided on the Peavey KB2 model. It is awesome for in house playing. Turned up only half way she really thumps with zero distortion and the cymbal sounds are nice and crisp.
