BBD_123 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I use Rokit 5 Gen 3s in a room about that size and they are very good. For recording, maybe also consider direct connection to a DAW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAX700 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I run my HD500X through a pair of KRK G3 6" and it sounds great. My unbalanced L & R outs go into a JamMan stereo looper, and from there into my KRK 1/4" inputs. (The 500X built in looper is inadequate for most uses. I use the JamMan's 99+ loops to record ideas, not just for playing along with. But I digress...) No matter how you hook it up, running your HD500X into monitors is the best way to go... in my opinion, naturally. You get true stereo sound stage, which means the full effect of ping-pong delays, stereo chorus, etc. It sounds dimensionally richer than running through a guitar amp... speaking of which, the 500X amps are very convincing... Hard to tell from the "real thing". Of course, the Pod offers many parameters to choose from (heads & cabs, speakers, mic type/position, sag, excursion, and so on...) so you can get very close to the original "amp sound" you have in mind. I'd get KRK 6's for playing through... they have more low end (frequency response: 38Hz - 35kHz) than the Yamahas or JBL and have a fuller sound. They can produce a good "chunky" growl... no need for a sub-woofer. The Yamahas / JBLs provide a "flatter" more accurate sound, better for mixing, so recordings don't come out too bottom heavy. This post on connecting a 500X to KRK Rokits should help get you sorted out: http://line6.com/support/topic/17354-best-way-to-connect-hd500x-to-krk-rokits/ You're gonna have fun... just remember to leave your room for some fresh air once in a while.😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
