longhorns12 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 What would be the best way to set my hd400 through the Pa system? Would it be better if I just use a cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewterrado Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Setting the output to studio direct and using the left and right balanced XLR outs would be the best. You could also mic a cab. It really depends on what you prefer. I used to run my hd500 into an amp and mic it but then I switched to going direct because it was more consistent and true to how I was setting my tone. I use in ear monitors when I play live, so I wanted my tone to sound consistent in my ears ! Whereas mic placement and different mic models can change the sound of your tone. It's also nice not having to lug an amp around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still_fiddlin Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Not sure what you are trying to do, but if you need to send most of your sound to the house, go to the PA. I actually take the 1/4" MONO out and patch right into a (Radial) DI for that. If you want to have an on-stage monitor, take the parallel input that's going into the Radial (or DI of your choice) and run that to a powered monitor, DT-25, whatever, for your personal listening enjoyment.
