I have tomorrow (Friday) off, so I'll experiment with the TC VocalLiveTouch2 ... see if it gets better tone from the direct inputs on the PA900. If its what I expect ... I'll post a few more comparison demos. I think the internal mic will only be good enough for background cocktail situations ... it just sounds too muffled for my taste. I've worked too hard on my voice to have it push a substandard mic input. Sorry Korg - you just didn't get this part right. Can we get a hardware/software upgrade to give the option of clean, crisp vocals to those of us who prefer internal speakers and lightweight? Please? ...(tap, tap. tap ... is this on????)


Oh yes ... another thing about the "in the trunk" comment - I never take my gear out of the car during my busy seasons, and I've never had one instance of trouble, due to temperature, on any gear in almost 40 years of carting that audio baggage around. My trunk is very kind to my rig.
