Hey everyone!
I am in the process of building a small home studio setup and I need to select some good monitors. I will be purchasing a V-drums kit within the next month or so (90% certain it will be a TD-12). I was thinking that it would sure be great if the monitors I choose could double as amplification for the v-drums.
I will most likely be getting active monitors as there seems to be way more options currently available (as opposed to passive). I would need enough power to go as loud as an acoustic drumkit without putting strain on the monitors. I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to understanding wattage... I'm not sure how many watts each speaker should have to suit my purposes.
I understand that the outputs of the v-drums are unbalanced, and I'd be running them through a mixer or I/O interface like this http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...xer?sku=630121
In any case, I have a feeling that I will need a significant amount of power in my monitors... if anyone with experience here could comment, I'd really appreciate it. I'm looking to spend around $500 on the monitors. (but I could be convinced to spend a bit more)
thanks!!
