At the moment using a Bass Guitar Amp...without the mini KP for now...
I want to buy some speakers, i suppose PC speakers.
I just found these, will they be good for playing my EMX-1 at home.

What do you think of these speakers, will they be good for my EMX-1 and KP ????
i assume these go into my PC...
I think I figured out i need RCA to 3.5mm to go into my PC which inturn goes to my speakers.
But what adapter do i need from MINI KP to my EMX-1...RCA to 1/4 " ??? or what...cause i can't find them lol...
if not any other links to adaptors or another better speaker for the same price would be awesome cheers!
Using emx-1 , wiht mini KP and for my output?

You can connect the mini-KP directly to it if you are already connecting the EMX to the mini-KP.
mini-KP has RCA outputs, and these kind of speaker systems usually have an RCA connection, that comes with RCA > 3.5mm stereo adaptor for you to connect to speakers/line out on the soundcard.
So you go from EMX > mini KP
this is the most difficult step, because it is fairly difficult to find a cable that goes from a single or pair of jacks to single or pair of RCA. However if you get a RCA pair, you can easily find RCA > Jack adaptors, usually for 99p for example at maplin.
That is assuming you don't want to connect to your computer at all for example for recording. Still, you'll want another cable like the one that comes with the Logitec speakers if you want to hook up from the mini-KP to the computer input, and then from the computer to the speakers.
Then you go from mini-KP output to the Logitec speakers, using another RCA pair cable (this time with RCAs at both ends)
in short, you want two sets of these:

Here is the other kind of cable I mentioned, that usually comes with PC speakers like the ones you mentioned:

The speakers would be okay as an upgrade over your bass amp, if that is as far as your budget stretches. You should also have a look at some professional studio monitors, like these:

That should give you an idea of the kind of things you can get. You might also find a good deal.

It means it has an amplifier built in. You have to plug it into the mains to hear sound.

EMX-1 sounds sweet on it...and you where right, alot of the stuff i made on EMX-1 when i was using my amp sounded like boiled ass through a sub and speakers.
Thanks again!
