If you are performing at a club level or higher, you can't use the speakers (and probably shut them off for fear of blowing them).



A band that I was in several years ago where I used my PSR 2000 the onboard speakers helped me monitor my own sound. My Mains were hooked up to the house system, which included floor monitors for the whole band, but the extra monitoring of the onboard speakers of the PSR 2000 helped. I was back in a semi secluded area of the stage where the onboard speakers complimented the floor monitors and made it easier for me to stay in the groove. As we all know the PSR 2000 was very light even with the inbuilt speakers. 30 Watts for speakers would have been welcomed though since the PSR 2000's speakers were only 12 Watts x2. Seems that Yamaha still has never broken that 12 Watt barrier for their arranger line unfortunately. OTOH, Korg, Roland, Ketron, and of course the now defunct Technics keyboard division have done so with some of their arrangers e.g. E80, PAX1, etc.

All the best, Mike
