Pete Wellock Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Hi everyone, I’ve just traded up from a Casio AP700 to a PX S7000 and I’m finding that the S7000 doesn’t have the same deep sound as the AP700, in fact it sounds pretty plinky. I like the additional selection of instruments and the ability to control the keyboard via my iPad i just can’t replicate the deeper bass and rich sound the AP700 offered. It almost sounds like it missing a sub woofer. Just wondered if anyone had had the same issue and found something in the settings. I was even toying with the idea of an amp and speakers but that seems a bit of overkill for my home usage. Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Hi Pete. It makes sense that the AP-700 would have deeper bass. It has a 60 watt total, 6 speaker sound system with a larger cabinet to work with, probably more efficient. PX-S7000 packs 4 speakers at 32 watts total into a slim portable chassis. As with most portable keyboards or pianos, deeper bass would be found by adding some good external monitors. You may even find it possible to add a subwoofer. I've seen some forum members connect powered subwoofers to keyboards before, creating a 2.1 channel type sound system using the internal speakers and sub combined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKingston Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The subwoofer idea is nice. Maybe a subwoofer that was somewhat acoustically balancerd with the PX-S7000 built in speakers. What sort of subwoofer might be a good match? I have the Harmonius Mustard PS-X7000, and while I don’t expect to find a color match for the yellow color, something matching the legs might be nice.

Brad Saucier Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I haven't tried it myself, so I can only guess. If I were to try it, I would look for a powered sub with adjustable crossover. I don't know what the low freq cutoff is for the pianos own internal speakers, so a sub with adjustable crossover would take some experimenting to match up.

Fancellu Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Also try using headphones, to see if it is the tone itself, or the speakers. But yes, it would have less grunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthijs Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I'm having the same problem. The PX-s7000 sounds awesome on my headphones but not full and warm through the speakers. It may have something to do with the fact it's standing against a stone wall and on a wooden floor. No curtains or rugs or anything. I asked Casio Support for advice and they said a subwoofer is not needed because the keyboard doesn't go into such a low frequency range. They advised to look at a three-way system like those from Logitech. Remarkable because in my opinion Logitech only makes cheap systems for computers. Has anyone suggestions for another (small and preferable harmonius mustard 🙂) speaker system that fits the PX-S7000. Or would a subwoofer indeed be the solution?

Mike Martin Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The team at KraftMusic.com have a lot of experience pairing subwoofers with digital pianos, might be worth a call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
