Frequently Asked Questions
Can I connect my smartphone to play music?
Yes, you can connect your smartphone or any other compatible device in two ways: wirelessly via Bluetooth or via a cable to the line input (Line In) if your device has an audio output.
Is it powerful enough to play live with a band?
The SK-50 is primarily designed as a practice monitor and personal monitor. It might be sufficient for small rehearsals or performances in small venues, but for playing with a full band using acoustic instruments at high volume, a more powerful system would be recommended.
What type of cables do I need to connect my electronic drum kit?
Typically, you will need one or two cables with a 6.35 mm jack connector (also known as 1/4"), depending on whether your drum module's output is mono or stereo.
Can I use it with an electric guitar or a bass guitar?
While possible, this monitor is designed for line-level signals, such as those from electronic drums and keyboards. Its frequency response is flat for accurate reproduction, unlike guitar or bass amplifiers, which color the sound in a specific way. For the best tone, it is recommended to use amplifiers designed for those instruments.
