|
|
I have read that the Pa900 has unbalanced outputs (as oppposed to the pa3x which has balanced outputs). Does anyone know how detrimental to sound quality this is in a live gigging situation, and if there are solutions (perhaps using a DI box)? |

I used DI boxes successfully in the past - can't remember which keyboard - think it was PA1XPro or maybe Korg KARMA - but it worked perfectly.

Unless you are running extremely long cables from the keyboard to amp or mixer, it will make no difference at all.

Not true in my experience - I had a "hiss" on audio on unbalanced cables (3 metre) from one keyboard and the DI boxes (recommended to me by one of our forum members a fair while ago) completely fixed the problem.

O.K. I just have never had a problem with them. Of course you have to use good quality cables. I have had noise on cheap ones sometimes.
Thanks Pete!

Yep - that may have been my problem - can't remember except the DI boxes were a good solution.
