I have just finished getting my KN7000 ready for some NH jobs and considered trying to use my KN outputs for vocal instead of using a mixer, for an easier setup.

I remember, however, asking this question about nine years ago and don't remember getting a satisfactory solution.

1. Is the quality as good as say a Bose mixer ?
Bernie when a mic is put into the kn7 mic channel you have control of the reverb and its effects. I have not found a way to bypass the global EQ or the global reverb. Any changes in these areas effect the Microphone.

2. Is there any way to globally reduce the reverb ?
Bernie if you press and hold the reverb button (Right side near the top) a window will show giving what you are looking for. Make sure that your panel memory, in Extended Mode has the control for the reverb turned off.

When I use my Mic thru the keyboard the output from the Kn7 goes into the instrument impute of the Bose; Nice sound. But --- when my mic goes into the voice channel of the Bose ( directly not thru the keyboard) the vocal is deeper and stronger. Please take into account that I have no knowledge of the Bose mixer and its possibilities.

The best bet in my opinion is: Microphone into a TC Hellicon; that will give vocal harmony and effects for the voice. Then into the Bose Voice channel.

Take care, John C.

PS, I feel us older guys need to have some harmony and effects to earn that fantastic applause. (Smile)
