Just tell me why does X4 have a Stereo Line input.

As for Balanced vs UNbalanced line outs .... C'Mon man .... that's not a Pro or NONpro issue. It's a question of practicallity. Most users plug into mixers or snakes or PA's that are within a reasonable distance. The concert setups that require LOOOOOONg cable runs are what DI's are made for. No keyboard manufacturer is building instruments for EVERY possible application. Simple fact is: Balanced outs are NOT neccesary, and line inputs are best coupled with a sound system and speakers.[/B]


yeah yeah yeah...., but afterall, on a studio or in a stage would you prefer unbalanced or balanced outputs on your keyboard?!?
I have balanced outputs on my XV88 and I think they have made a good choice using it!
