dlm Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I am just curious about what speaker/monitor/amp setup everybody uses for live performance situations with their px-5s...(not interested in your other keyboards...just how you get your px sound out to the crowd)Currently, I am using a Motion Sound amp that I really don't care for and may sell...thinking about running stereo sound if I can figure out what to buy...suggestions are very welcomed!

Joe Muscara Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Right now it's the QSC K10. If I make some money soon I might get the SpaceStation v3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlm Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Are you running one or two k10's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Yamaha StagePas 500. One or two speakers depending on the venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Are you running one or two k10's? Mono all the way, baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goergtn Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Keys into mixer-mixer/monitor out to DI/house-mixer/main out to Yamaha DXR10.Mono all around and I do not play at a volume to fill the house, that is what a PA & a sound-man is for.Regards,Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Small 200-watt powered stereo 4-channel mixer, with built-in reverb/echo effects and efx sends, independent hi/low eq for each channel and graphic equalizer for master control into 2 10" speaker cabinets with hi-freq. horns and ducted bass ports. Phantom powered inputs for mics-let's me connect one key in stereo plus 2 mics or 2 monophonic keys and mics. Also can use this for connecting computer audio/CD if I need to provide "canned' music for a venue. Fills a 50 x 100 room no problem. Picked up the entire system for a little more than 200 bucks. Used to use a Fender Passport portable system. didn't have as much bass (I think the largest speaker was a 6") but could fill my school's gym/auditorium to the point of pain (I was often tempted especially during "talent" shows I had to set up ) had phantom power and better eq controls-hi/mid/low, master. I think it was a 6-channel. I used it set up multiple mics, my keyboard and again, canned music I needed for my shows. Probably overkill for small venues but only weighed about 50 pounds and closed up quickly into one suitcase style PA and a setting to kill inputs for mic-overs (using mic would kill other audio channels-handy for big venues).

cirores Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Px5s to direct box to FOH mixer. I link off the direct box to a Behringer 90 watt keyboard amp for personal monitoring. I let the sound tech worry about effects if needed. Running mono is more than adequate for my needs. Regards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrieves Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 QSC K10, mono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sizemore2000 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I use a Fishman Loudbox 180 watt amp that has 2 input channels. The amp has a DI out for each channel and a mix out that I use to send to my in ears. I play fiddle on the other channel. My in ears have 2 channels as well, so the sound man will run a house mix to one channel and my mix will be in the other. This way I can turn myself up and down on the stage without yelling to the soundman. The Fishman Loudbox 180w will fill most medium sized venues such as the casinos I perform in, and it weighs a whopping 29 pounds. Most of the time, I don't use the amp except for the inputs and outputs, but it is nice to be able to play if something happened to the sound system. Also, I use the amp to check my sound before each performance, because I'm always earlier than the soundman, and as we all know, there are no speakers on the px-5s which is a good thing for me since I crave light weight items to take with me on a gig!

Choppin Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I've heard a lot about the loudbox. It's really geared towards acoustic guitars right? How does the PX-5s sound through it? I've been thinking about getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. J. Love Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Until recently, a pair of EV ZxA1s, now a Center Point Stereo Spacestation V.3 + a Behringer B1200D Pro Sub. I feed a small Alto mixer or a Samson SM10. I monitor onstage in stereo and send a mono feed to FOH when necessary using an aux feed from the mixer into a direct box - just in case the ground needs lifting. Stereo out of the mixer into the sub, filtered at 100Hz, then to the SS V.3. I loved my EVs, but the stereo image onstage is much more satisfying with the Spacestation. Highly recommended.

Most of the people who have tried it are blown away about how well it works for them. http://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/forums/18/1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maarkr Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 either a Roland KC550 for small stuff or a Behringer 315D over a Peavey 118D for larger venues. I run the XW thru a Boss RT-20 and both XW and PX thru a Boss FV-50 volume pedal in mono to a mixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
