Why is it that most arrangers with mic inputs still make us use 1/4" adapters? There are hundreds of mics ranging in price for $20 up to as much as you want to pay--all with XLR connectors. They are called Low Impedance mics. They are the industry standard. Even most Churchs now use them. Why should $3-$4000.00 keyboards have inputs that call for a toy mic? What world are the keyboard manufacturers living in? Other than the Yamaha Pro and SD1, they all must be designing these keyboards with their heads up their. . . in a dark place.
Yamaha!! is that asking too much for a $3000. Tyros? I bet they don't answer, or if they do they'll have some excuse like holding the cost down. Damn the cost. I'll pay the extra $5.00 (high estimate) for an XLR input.
