Question from a noob: Controller -&gt; ??? -&gt; audio out: My question is this: If I get this controller, what other equipment will I need in order to practice "silently" with a pair of headphones?

You will need a synthesiser / sound-module. Examples are anything from a Yamaha VL70m (pricey) to a Yamaha MU15 off ebay (cheap). Basically, anything with a MIDI input can be played with this device. As with all things, generally the more you spend, the better the sound.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeqDAjB9pGKThe first guy in the video [me] is the one using the MXL 770. The sound editing is weird on my part, the dB were adjusted to fit with the track used (which was different from what I recorded with)

These things are awesome. You attach the bass drum mute with Velcro and all the drums are dampened enough. Play while people are home without being annoying, seems like I just close the door and they can barley hear me. Hope this helps! Keep drumming man!

Pairing seems not something this equipment is good at. Overall it's pretty bad both for sound comfort and now also pairing. Sorry, same issue here

Did you eventually find a good solution for your application? I'm hoping to do essentially the same thing, except I had planned to use the headphone outputs of both the piano and laptop. I would be grateful to know if you got this to work, and any details you might be willing to share about the hookup. Thanks.

So, I deleted my earlier post. Getting 2 audio sources to play simultaneously is actually pretty easy. The mixamp has a line in for spdif (optical) and your typical aux 3.5mm jack. I hooked my computer via spdif and my TV via aux. You'll get both AND be able to toggle the balance with the right earcup game/VoIP switch. (I initially thought it didn't work, as I was 100% to my computer source, hence my deleted answer. Don't make my mistake). I would recommend the spdif from your console and aux from your computer, you'll get better in game sound. The balance feature is really nice, and it is tailored to your exact needs.

This is simply a midi controller, so you don't plug headphones into the Behringer controller, but you can plug headphones into whatever device you use the controller with. I use my MacBook Pro or my iPad (with the free app Garage Band) and I plug headphones into either of those devices. Hope this helps!

Yup. Nothing I've done made my mic work better on Xbox One. I just ended up buying a pair of Turtle Beaches and just using my Polks for my laptop. When I used my Polks, people on Xbox told me I had a subtle echo and was incredibly quiet. I used 2 different updated controllers and 2 different mic adapters, but to no avail. Same story with the 'fixed' replacement mic they sent me. Awesome sound, horrible mic.

i am trying to help my father with is severe hearing loss. I am thinking to connect the 770 to a quality headset equalizer / preamp. Then a little blue toothe transmitter would be in charge of sending the signal to a high quality blue tooth headset. would the 770 perform in such a setup? I would really appreciate either tech and non tech answer. Thanks a lot!

With the E12, and the E17 available why would you choose E11? I'm trying to learn about these amp's that are offered. (Fiilo) With V-MODA M100's as headphones, do I need an amp at all, and if so, which one and why? Sorry if I sound grumpy, but this is a $139.00 decision, and I don't want to make an error.Thank you in advance.John Gibbs

Let me recant that last statement as after extended listening tests, I've determined that line out is "bright" and a bit harsher sounding than headphone out(with bass and treble set to 0)so I use headphone out. I was surprised by this as line out should bypass amp and tone controls, go through less electronics and should be a "purer" signal. But it really does sound better(to me)through headphone out so I now only use that.

Thank you for answering this Slush! I wish they had a picture of what this looks like. Is it hard to maneuver with the headphones?

Yes, they work fine. Are you not being heard? Or are you the one who can't hear? Might be your controller? Test them on another controller.if not, contact the seller they might be faulty. Thats bad luck...

Hi, Kyle. I just tried these with my iPhone. While playing music, I turned the volume down the whole way (on the side of the phone). Then, I held the middle button down on the headphones - and I could hear Siri (and turned the volume up the whole way while Siri was talking). Went back to music and hit play. It was still silent. So, there are two separate volume adjustments on the iPhone. May just want to hit play on the music and then use volume adjustments in the side of the phone. Hope that's all it is for you! Good luck!

Should be feasible. I would turn the gain down on A or youll blow your ears or headphones or both. At the very least it would distort. Can you not run the click off your board? That's the best way IMO.

The first question I have is what kind of headphones you are using. The headphones are acting as your speakers. If there is not enough power to drive the headphones, you may need headphones with volume controls of their own. This unit is a pass through. I does not and is not designed to power headphones.

The other solutions are perfect - you need to hit a 'mono' button in your DAW or use an external monitor controller with a 'mono' button. I have one cube as well and use one TS (i.e. mono guitar cable, not a TRS cable) from one of my headphone outs of my interface. My interface's monitor outs are already in use for my main monitors. I hit my DAW's 'mono' button, silence my mains and turn up my headphone out going to the cube and voila!
