evanin Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 you would need a PA first, then a cable to run from the output sound of your pc ro the input of the PA, a converter would be needed also. Why built a computer for a PA system? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natethegreat1313 Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 no its not nessicarliy for PA, i was just looking for a system that can get loud, if you have any suggestions on something else (i.e CHEAPER) then id love em Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Do you already have a stereo or anything at your house? If you do, you can run your computer into them...you'll just need a cheapo $5 adapter or something. I can't imagine you'd need it any louder than a home theater system could produce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 he may need it for a presentation or something....just PAs are really portable and i guess that's why. well most PA's use either a mic input or a line input...and the line inputs are always 1/4" so you'd need an adapter. everything else would work, just plug it into the output of your soundcard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 if you just want the comp good and loud get some good 5.1 speakers with a good sound card and bam you have it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardnrg Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 if you take a look at the back of an amplifier... not some crappy all-in-one cd/tape/radio/record "hi-fi" system, a REAL amp... have a look round the back and you'll see inputs for Tape1, Tape2, CD, Aux, Tuner, etc, etc... those are all LINE-LEVEL inputs... a lot of things that play music or make a sound produce a line-level output, cd players, mini-disc players, dj mixers, synthesizers, drum-machines, COMPUTERS, so it's just like hooking up any other part of a system... and you can hook up a computer into a club/concert system by feeding the computer line-out to the mixer's line-in... i've done it before, it's as easy as plugging a wire into your computer and the other end into an amp, or a mixer... edit: if you want your sound system loud as hell, spend your money on two amazing speakers, a subwoofer, and an amp... 5.1 is fine and dandy, but you could spend the amount you were going to on a 5.1 system on a better 2.1 system... louder, better quality... i spent $875 on an 150W Technics amp, 200W Canon subwoofer, and two Tannoy 2-way rubber-coned speakers, and Atacama cast iron speaker stands if i have it at anything above where 2 would be on a regular dial, i get complaints from the people i currently live with (only 3 more weeks, woohoo!).... if it's on "4" then it's rocking and you have to start speaking really loud, 5 and things in the room start shaking... 7 and it's starting to get painful, and you can feel bass through your entire body... 9 and i start to worry about permanent ear damage and my speaker cone dust covers coming off (has happened once at a party when the amp was on 10) at 6 you can hear it down the road, like 50 metres down the road... i dj, and i make tunes, and i pretty much listen to music all day, so i had to spend that much money on a decent system... oh yeah, you can hook up the Tape (Play and Record) ins/outs on an amp to use your computer like a digital tape recorder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
