Members theharmonium Posted October 27, 2009 Members Share Posted October 27, 2009 anyone have any thoughts about using a cheap mixer through a bass head/amp to run multiple keyboards through one amp with a direct out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darkstorm Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 Is excellent choice imo. The higher end hifi bass rigs like Eden, Eden Nemesis, and Genz Benz outperform most keyboard combo amps Ive heard quite easilly to my ears. As long as the bass speaker cabs are full range (compression or titanium tweeter if not useing ten inch bass drivers or in some cases with ten inch drivers. Never piezo tweeters theyre just gross sounding esp if you use any overdrive imo). Useing PA is ideal then just use a nice ten inch (or pair of for little stereo rig) bass combos for your stage monitor. For loud and very fine stereo keyboard rig something like a pair of Eden nemesis 1x15 combos plus the extension 1x15 cabs would be very nice hifi loud rig with four 15"s plus comp tweeters. Alternately the JBL Eon powered 15/s or 10/s is good choice for pro level rig. Peaveys bass combos are also good choice for budget rig. Along with acoustic's 10 or 12 inch combo bass amps. Ive preferred bass combo amps for synths, processed bass guiytar , and processed electric guitar for more then ten years. To me their better choice then keyboard amps sound wise and for bang for buck. Instruments to mixer which then feeds the pair of amps for stereo rig. For at home, prefers useing powered monitors rather then combo amps. Better volume and lower air movement which are both desireable for small house to apt situations. Lol.

Members rugge78 Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 I think that key amps are overpriced in most of the cases...There are many bass amps for every pocket and situation...I would search ofr a bass amp with woofer and horns.

Members dan88z Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 Before I built my rack and went to a stereo setup with wedge monitors, I was doing that, using my old Boss BX8 mixer running into an Ashdown 2x10 bass amp. Plenty loud and decently clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theharmonium Posted October 31, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2009 good ideas ... im a little green to amps vs. pa's or powered mixers ... are they essentially interchangeable? meaning could i leave the bass head out all together and use a pa like a GigRac 1000st with my ampeg cabinet?

Members theharmonium Posted October 31, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2009 well i'm tempted to sell my bass rig and a few extra basses since im only playing keys now to get the best key set up i can ... so cash may not be an issue ... what would an ideal set up be thats really portable for a single stage monitor that could also get me enough volume in smaller venues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
