Default Eleven Rack with PC Speakers (Logitech Z5500)

Hello all,

First let me start by saying that I am planning on purchasing some studio monitors in the next couple of months.

Right now I use the Eleven Rack strictly for practicing at home with my headphones (Beyerdynamic DT 880 PRO 32 Ohms).

Question: Until I buy my Studio Monitors, can I use my PC speakers (Z5500) in conjunction with the Eleven Rack, in a live setup?

I just want to ability to occasionally hear myself play without cans to
quietly jam with a friend!

Here are the full specs of the Z5500:

If you can hook it up you can use it, but its not going to sound very good coming from those little PC speakers.

For live playing you would probably want to use a PA or FRFR Speaker or Monitors depending on what your situation is.

Hate to say it, but my Logitech Z5500 sounds as good or better then my $900 QSCK10's. Eleven Rack Digital Coaxial Out to Z5500 Coax In. Set the Z5000 to Stereo X2

That is awesome to know! Can't wait to try that tonight!
Thanks for tip!
I'm such a n00b, that I would of probably went:
Eleven Rack headphones out to 1/8 to channel direct in the Z-5500.
Had totally forgotten that there was a Coax In, in the Z-5500! lmao
