can you recommend external speakers please?




heart


I'm looking for external speakers for a digital piano. All I want to do is get rid of the muffled sound from the dp, no need to sound like Carnegie hall :)

The dp sounds terrific with headphones (specifically cheap $20 Skullcandy ear buds!) But I bought a pair of speakers and subwoofer by Logitech for $75 and it sounds slightly louder but still muffled.

Thank you
Williams? I never heard of that brand.
No it's a korg sp 250. I think you helped recommend that one to me i jones

Maybe it isn't as bad as I think but I'm comparing the sound to a real piano or with my earbuds and it just doesn't sound the same and I want it to sound better.



Answer
And the brand of digital piano is ...

... Williams?

I'm surprised you think it sounds muffled. The Skull Candy buds probably sound "better" because they are in your ear, and louder. I thought the built-in amplifier and speaker system were pretty descent for a home digital, though I'll grant you that 2 x 10 cm is small for speakers trying to reproduce the frequency and dynamic range of a piano.

You'll probably find that higher wattage amplifiers and larger speakers will make a world of difference. But that will come at a cost. I'm guessing that a good deal of the reason for getting the SP250 was the price, so getting Genelec near-field monitors or a pair of QSC K-12 powered monitors is not in the cards.

Computer audio systems, even reasonably good ones, aren't designed for the dynamic and frequency ranges demanded by a piano. You will blow the speakers over time.

The HS50M monitors mentioned above might be a good solution.

QSC GX5 amp with my speakers?!?




Henry Imme


Hi, i have two Yamaha SM12H II

Specs:

Ohms: 8
Noise: 100W
Program: 200W
Peak: 400W

Will the QSC GX5 be ideal and work well with my speakers or not?

Thanks in advance!



Answer
It will work great. People worry way too much about matching watts with amps and speakers. What you need to do is watch the CLIP lights on the front of the amp when you are playing the system loudly - those lights indicate distortion and clipping - if they start to light up, turn it down. If you do that, your speakers will last a long time. If you ignore those lights, your speakers will be toast.

Need help building a speaker system?




Isaac Skor


I just learned that building a single subwoofer or speaker as an add on to my surround sound system couldn't be done as the system would not provide enough amps or watts. So I am interested in building a completely new system for my PC that packs a punch. Need a guide or something to help me though. Could someone link me too a guide I could use to build one? Thanks!

5.1 speaker system to ps3 connection!!! PLS HELP!!!!!?







Hi ppl! Im stuck with incompatible connections between my ps3/tv set and a creative inspire t6200 5.1 system speaker set. I agree that i am a noob and didnt check the connections before buying the speaker but i'm hoping that someone can guide me to a plan b solution!

Currently my ps3 connects to my tv via a hdmi cable.

1) Is it possible to connect my ps3 via rca cable with the audio jacks to a *Logitech 5.1 Game Console Audio Adapter and then to the 3 3.5mm audio jacks to the speaker?

OR

2) Is it possible to get an adaptor that connects a 3.5mm output from my TV and converts it to the 3 3.5mm from the speaker.

I am not expecting true surround quality from these options. I just want my speakers to work at least haha. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!! I DONT WANNA WASTE MY MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT I CANT USE AT ALL!!! okay i am really desperate...any help/constructive comment will be greatly appreciated!

Answer
Hook up ps3 to speaker system with rca cables and this adapter (should cost only a few $)

http://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Right-Female-Adapter-Xbox-360/dp/B003LVFOK6/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1300648327&sr=1-1

option 1 looks like it should work, you already found the adapter., and it is a better setup than your #2. Not sure whether you'd actually get more than stereo, but I assume you've done some research on that adapter and or you speaker system.

option 2:
Generally, tvs have audio output on the back, rca red/white and/or some optical in addition to the headphone jack. You'd get that adapter you listed and use the rca audio out on the back panel.

The ideal setup would be to use the optical output of the ps3 (or the tv), and get an adapter that converts it to the 3 3.5mm, but I suspect that kind of adapter is either very expensive, or simply doesn't exist.
