Hi,
I am new t keyboards as I have played an acoustic piano all my life.
My church just bought a new keyboard and a new system with speakers and amps and the sound is scratchy or muffled. When I use my personal head phone and plug into the headphone jack, I get such a solid beautiful sound, but when i switch to the main auditorium speakers I get muffled or poor and not loud enough sound. A few (know it all guys) have tried but the last thing I heard was that the jacks we are using in the left and right mono out of the keyboard to try get stereo sounds in the building are not mono or that they dont have the one line at the tip but rather two lines which is muffling the sound. One other observation is the other end of the jacks should be female to go into the snake and we need to locate two of these types of jacks with a 1'4' mono and a female end to plug into the snake. Does anyone know if this sounds right before we spend more money trying to get it right and still get no where.

you need to run each output of the keyboard (two mono 1/4" cables, into two (2) seperate channels of the mixer, for example say 7&8, then pan each channel all the way left, and all the way right respectively...that'll give you stereo sound IF, and i mean IF, you're house sound system is runnin' in stereo. alot of house PA's are setup in mono....

peace
