Hi, I've just bought a KPA but only have my Logitech computer speakers until I can afford some decent studio speakers. I'm a total novice to this, the Logitech speakers have three connections which I usually plug into the back of my pc how would I go about using these with the kemper if possible, obviously I need some connection for them to be attached into the back of the kemper. Help would be much appreciated
Kemper setup

Hi Rob, and welcome to the forum. I've not heard of anyone using their computer speakers directly, so I'm not sure what the results would be. You would need an adapter to go between the KPA monitor out (or even possibly the headphone out) and your Logitech speakers. The Output menu has output level and EQ adjustments. Good luck!
edit: I just realized that you said you have 3 connectors for the speakers. There's no way to use that with the KPA that I know of ...

I would say it might work, depending on what kind of input you have in the speakers? Or maybe if you have a minitele "mic" input in your computer's soundcard then you might get it to sound if you go from headphone out on the kemper to mic input in the soundcard and speakers connected "as usual".

Hello Rob,welcome, should work ok,just need a lead with the right size jack plugs, is it a mini jack into the logitechs? should be able to buy an adaptor ok. or maybe just use headphones for a while? Kempers sound fantastic through headphones.

Yeah, Headphones for you until you get a flatter monitor. You don't want colored speakers, that is, a frequency response that has obvious boosts to "sound better".
If you get monitoring headphones, at least the response will be flatter and truer to what you should be hearing, minus some bass response of course.
I have a number of $100 headphones and the KPA sounds awesome with all of them, no complaints, just some are perhaps too loud (DJ headphones for my example)
Welcome!

Welcome along, definitely worth investing in some better monitoring, or if your computer has spif input which many often do now, you could plug the Kemper into that.

Simple. Just get an aux cable, like the type you'd used for an MP3 player. Link the aux cable from the Kemper headphone output to the Logitech input. You'll require an adaptor to make the Kemper output 3.5 mm like a standard aux cable.
Your results may vary though, especially through tiny speakers. You'd probably be better off using headphones FWIW.

How will that accommodate 3 connections from the speakers? -
Maybe Logitech speakers will work, but I would use headphones (probably better results and simpler way). And even if you plug Kemper to your computer instead of speakers there will probably be latency issues and everything.

Welcome Rob,
post a pic of your monitors' back, I'm pretty sure it's doable and, even tho they won't sound great, it can be fun
