Hi Boo,

I agree with Roel. I think the poppin "P"s really ARE coming from the mic.

Poppin "P"s are caused by the strong burst of air released from your mouth when you sing a vowel preceded by the "P" consonant. There are specific vocal techniques which can be used to minimize this problem but short of this, you can purchase a windscreen which fits over the mic to reduce/eliminate this problem.

A home stereo system is not optimized for use as a "live" vocal/keyboard PA system so the specific frequency where the vocal popping occurs may be unduely accentuated on your KLH stereo system. Home stereo systems are fine for playing CDs, tapes, and records, but for professional "live" sound amplification, use the right equipment for the job . . . an amp designed specificly for reproducing "keyboards" and "vocals". If the Crate (not my favorite brand) doesn't sound all that great to you, maybe you need to upgrade to the Carvin AG100 or the terrific sounding Mackie SRM450.
