I know, I can play around with the compressor settings, but I can hear myself easily, and half of what I hear of myself is not going through the mic. It would help if I had an elderly person with bad hearing sitting where the audience would be to tell me if I'm getting clearer or not.

That's why I am asking for some settings that might get me in the ballpark of what I want to do.

Thanks Gary! I'll check out those eq settings. The Bose sounds like the way to go. The FBT's are IMO the very best 10" monitors out there. I very rarely get seniors telling me I'm too loud because these speakers sound so good.

I'd like to ask some of these dudes who demo for Yamaha at large venues what talk settings they use. Does anyone know who I can ask? Maybe Ian has some tips. Ian, are you there?

I won't be springing for the Bose soon because I spent a lot of money (for me at least) over Xmas for myself on Ivory II virtual American Steinway D, then all the stuff with it: Ilok, Sound Blaster Titanium HD sound card, mixer, near field reference monitors, a studio subwoofer. I'm using my Casio PX-350 as a controller, and it sounds fantastic!
