hi guys
just wondering if you can connect wireless Bluetooth or USB speakers for the korg PA 4X or Korg pa1000 I'm looking at purchasing one of these keyboards but instead of spending the money on the korg pass speaker system looking to purchase something cheaper for home use and bring down my expense I thought if it's possible at all to buy wireless speakers to connect some way to the keyboard.
thanks again
John

Before you buy Bluetooth speakers you should know Bluetooth connections has huge latency, is not comfortable play live when your sounds has delay. Wink

Like Nemik say latency is to much but if you connect it hard wire you will be fine, I am using JBL extreme it work like a charm.

Hi Guys
Appreciate the feed back. Yes it's true about the latency between Bluetooth speaker and keyboard.
Just a little confused in that a Bluetooth speaker can be used but it has to be wired to the keyboard?
If it's Bluetooth you should be able to do this wireless .Is that not correct?

Thanks again for your time.

John

Yes blue tooth is wireless but it is hard to play music when the latency is more than 10 ms. a least for me. that's the reason I use hard wire.
I was looking to buy the PAAS but at the time I didn't have the extra
$$$ so somebody here in the forum talk about the Bose and JBL then I decide to give it a try and JBL did for me, again thru hard wires. Latency was to much to play live.
I hope you understand it or maybe other members can explained better.

Your welcome, see I am not sure all the blue tooth speakers have the 3mm outputs, that's the reason I choose JBL Extreme also for the type of music I play I need a good low end/bass, so JBL have all that.
