Hello all-
I apologize as this is my very first post on the Hauptwerk forums. I admit I am still somewhat baffled by the complexities of each system, and despite combing through the forums have been unsure of a few topics.
Currently, I had a 1963 Rodgers 330E console midified, and it is connected thru a Presonus Audiobox 22vsl to my computer via a midi cable. The interface currently is connected to 2x Mackie Hr824mkII studio monitors using 1/4" cables; however, I am currently working to upgrade my setup as I struggle with the lack of definition in low frequencies/inability to produce signals below ~50 Hz. I hope to remedy this by eventually purchasing a pair of Def Tec bipolar 8060st towers.
My questions:
1. The speaker towers will need some kind of amplification. How exactly do I wire that into my system? Would I have my computer hooked (by usb) to my interface, and the interface to some kind of amplifier, and then to the speaker? How exactly would I hook up an amplifier to my system?
2. If I purchased speakers which needed an amplifier, could I still use my existing studio monitors as well? I have been looking at expanding to a MOTU Ultralight Hybrid MkIII.
3. How exactly does this all wire together... If you have an interface with 8x outputs but also a amplifier with outputs?... I am getting lost! Does an amplifier take the place of the receiver?
