Yes, but unfortunately, the SxA100's OTHER mic input channel is XLR only (not dual).

Yes, I plug my mic directly into my keyboards (PSR2000/Tyros). My keyboards both include a built in dedicted mic EQ & channel mixer.

You see if I use my Nanoverb it only has 1/4” jacks. If I plug it into the 1/4” jack on the SxA 100, where do I plug my keyboard? Like I said, I don't like the idea of having to use a mixer with this speaker. I want to get out of all this gear and cable hauling.
Boo, here are three options, short of having to drag along a dedicated mixer:
1) Plug your mic into the Alesis Nanoverb and then connect your Nanoverb into your keyboard (keyboard audio input). The output of your keyboard should now INCLUDE your vocals.
2) Purchase a '2 to 1' Y connector plugging the Nanoverb & keyboard into the 2 inputs and pluggying the other 1/4" jack (output) into the the SxA100.
3) Purchase a 1/4" to XLR adapter and plug your Nanoverb into the Mic input on your SxA100 and your keyboard into the Master line in jack on your SxA100. I'm not sure if a 1/4" to XLR" adapter converts the 'line level' signal to XLR 'mic level signal' or not, but it's important that you find out before preceeding with this method.
