basskit_case Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Should be working but just wondered if it would be possible or worthwhile to use an active tv soundbar with a multi effects unit. I have a helix stomp that I would like to use in a desktop configuration,, was considering active monitors but dont quite have the room, I was wondering if a soundbar sat below my computer monitor would be a viable option?

dannybuoy Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 It should work pretty well for low volume practice... I take it you don't already own said soundbar to give it a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskit_case Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 No, not at the moment looking for something that can be a jack of all trades at neighbour friendly levels Now I am working from home a lot more (surprise surprise) my desk cannot be overrunun with bass gear.as it has been. Just thinking that a sound bar might get me close. Will have a look around. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the soundbar, mine is as long as my (old) plasma 50" screen... And has two wireless satellites and a quite big wireless subwoofer. 😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) I'd ensure I was running a good degree of compression from the helix. Domestic "hifi" drivers do not take kindly to the kind of "abuse" that instrument amp drivers and PA / Monitors regularly endure. You may need some strange EQ too, to get the sound that you want.

JapanAxe Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) @basskit_case I have a Logik L32SBT17 sound bar that you can have FOC. It's quite small and neat and comes with all the leads and a remote control. It works fine with line-in and Bluetooth but the connection over digital coax is flakey. When I opened a return with Currys they refunded me and told me to just keep it, so it owes me nothing. To use it with the Helix Stomp you would need a Y-lead with a stereo mini jack at one end and a couple of 1/4-in jacks at the other. EDIT: I think a stereo 1/4-in to stereo mini jack would also work.
