Jody Barry Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 When I plug in my output jack to the unit, it does not feel tight and, as I have found out, it works its way loose during the gig, making it necessary for me to push it in after every song to assure connection. Does anyone else have this problem and what did you do to fix it? I have attached a video showing how when I push one output jack it, the other comes out...it simply is not a tight connection......not sure what to do about it.

Brad Saucier Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 It looks like the right angle plug is slightly too short to clear the keyboard itself. Does the straight plug cable come loose as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Barry Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks for responding so quickly....yes, I have tried straight plugs as well thinking it was the right angle plug and it too seems too loose to make connection...and come loose when the other connector is pushed in.....only by holding the two of them simultaneously do they stay in and as I play, the left one works its way out......?

Brad Saucier Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I'll say it's normal for the terminals to feel easier to connect and disconnect than say....a Fender guitar. Having said that, they should hold the plugs on a quality cable just fine under strain free conditions. If it's popping plugs out on every cable you've tried, I might look into exchanging the keyboard or repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Barry Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks.....just thought if it was a common problem seen by others, maybe there was a common solution but I fear you might be right...thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramley Studio Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Not necessarily a solution for you it seems, but an observation. I ordered right-angled jacks for the output connection as it ‘looked a bit smarter’ but because the jack connection is slightly recessed, the Stagg Jacks I purchased kept popping out because of the thicker part of the jack was pushed up so close to the keyboard. I returned these and purchased Planet Waves Jacks, of which the angled stem has a clear space between the side of the keyboard – and they work fine. Pictures below. However, I have to agree with Brad, that whatever jack I use the connectors are on the generous side and can feel loose. But they certainly shouldn’t pop out as shown in your video.
