Tom: what did you say about 'using our ears' again? I couldn't quite 'hear' you.

Nobby: You're right about the mic knob being on the back of the keyboard, but please remember, this specific mic knob is really only to be used for making initial mic 'input' settings. After you set it, you just leave it alone. All futher mic level adjustments should be made using the mic volume level control which appears on the PSR2000 screen.

BTW: I now 'take back' my initial complaint about having to go into 'submenu' screen to access the mic volume slider. I recently realized that you can easily set things up to have ALL the PSR2000's volume balances (including mic volume level) appear on the MAIN Page all the time. By just pressing the 'Balance' button, The MAIN page will then permanently display all the PSR2000's volume balance levels (until you want to change it). You are now able to both view (at all times) and adjust the volume levels (at a moments notice). Life is GOOD!
