central616 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yesterday I took, for the first time, my casio to a reharsal with my band and sadly discovered that the output volume is extremely low. I had to put all the equipment at maximum power because really it sounds very low, especially the PCM sounds. My question is: It's a manufacturing defect, or my unit? How I could fix it? Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 A couple of questions-what equipment are you connecting it to-mixer, pa amp, keyboard amp etc. And how are your cables? Did you try one or 2 different ones, seems like an obvious thing, but sometimes a partially defective cable will allow some output signal, but will be shorting out some signal to ground and lower the Avolume. and check through headphones-this will tell you if the output stages of the XW are OK, and if the problem might be in the output stages of the line out jacks. Check your "mixer" settings to see if somehow the master volume hasn't been somehow set lower, although if you are playing in "tone" mode this shouldn't matter. In sequencer or performance mode it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used mostly thr Tone mode, so the XW-P1 is guilty. This was the reason i posted this on this forum. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarloKey Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 uhmmm Must say that the PCM sounds are lower than SOLO synth and drawbar organ, but not so lower as you noted...for example the volume on piano sound is 127?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yed Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Same here, it seems the P1 need an amp before the mixer or more gain in it Vs other intruments. But I think this is because even I play the 16 channel near the max, i never here distorsion etc ... may be the p1 have some security head room ? Also, check the master and eq section, it will "boost" your P1 sound. Ps : sorry for my bad english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
