Hi,
today I received my KPA. Since I don't have a dedicated Amp or Cabinet, my intention was to simply connect the Headphone out from the KPA to the AUX IN of my Guitar Amp (Peavey Vypyr 120 Tube). Usually that works perfectly when I conect the Headphone out of my MP3 player.
However in case of the KPA I heard a lot of hum, which makes it unusuable. The question is: What can I do?
There are many outputs on the KPA:
- Headphone out
- Main Out
- Monitor Out
- Direct Out
I have no clue what the differences between those are. Can anybody explain the differences?
Can I connect any of these to the AUX IN of my Amp? So far I haven't dared to do so.
The back side outputs feature a ground lift function. I suppose the hum is caused by a ground loop, hence I could imagine the the ground lift function may help. Howeve I'm a bit concerned that I may damage the AUX IN of my Guitar Amp if it cannot cope with that.
Any suggestions or wiring proposals would be very much appreciated!
With kind regards,
Sven
