I'm wondering what would be the easiest/cheapest way for me to be able to bring my MKV head home after each band practice (at our drummer's house), so that I can practice on it in my apartment without having to bring the 2x12 cab with me each time... :?:
I would most likely need to use headphones in my apartment, so I was thinking I would use the FX loop SEND for that. I have a small mixer that my computer is hooked up to, so I could probably go from the MKV fx send into the mixer, then headphones out from the mixer. That should work, right? i don't think I'd want to use SLAVE OUT, because that wouldn't sound good, I would guess.
However, I don't have another speaker at home to use for putting a load on MKV, so i don't know what to do about that. Would ANY speaker (with a 1/4 inch connector) do, as long as impedance is ok? For example, I used to have one of these: http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-1270-PA-Monitor?sku=601710&ZYXSEM=0&src=3AGGWXX2. It's supposed to be a passive 10-inch speaker, 200W rating, 8ohms. I might be able to get my hands on one again. Would something like that work with MKV? Is the only important thing the impedance, correct? Or does the size of the speaker and/or wattage matter, too?
Obviously, I wouldn't be pushing much volume through it, if anything at all (if using headphones).
I'm mostly wanting to do this in order to get more familiar with my MKV and to start messing with the external effects and midi switching, and it would be nice to be able to do that at home, in between band practices.
