Donny you mentioned you use this product. Are you going through the keyboard directly? Are you using the vocal harmonizer on the keyboard> If so, you had to have an adapter xlr - ts?

This is what I'd like to pull off: 520C directly into the 1000 keyboard, by using an XLR/ts adapter. Not sure what kind of signal loss I'd have and is there enough power to do so.

2nd option is to use my yamaha mixer and go through the XLR ins but I'd forfeit my TC.

Any suggestions helpful

P.S. I ordered this mic today, along with an adapter. Thanks for the heads up on this mic, can't wait to try it out and go "boomless"

I wonder how it compares to the Shure I have. The Shure is pretty good, as headphone mics go, but it has that "SM58" sound that of which I'm not a big fan.

It comes with xlr....just plug it into kb requires phantom power...works great..you can also switch sides also.

PA1000 doesn't have XLR ... or phantom power, to my knowledge, but there's no reason you'll loose the TC advantage by using a mixer. Just make sure you gain stage correctly, so you don't overload the input.

Dave,
can you advise how to route? thanks

don, which shure do you have?

Condenser microphones require phantom powering, that can be supplied
by a dedicated power supply. As an alternative, you can use a small mixer
including phantom powering, to be connected via its insert or line outs
to Pa1000’s line inputs; in this case, however, you will not be able to use
Pa1000’s dedicated effects.

This is my concern about using the AKG condenser mic I have coming

WH-30
It has XLR connector and requires phantom power.

Of coarse you can use the keyboard's onboard effects Just plug the mixer into the mic input on the keyboard. Turn down the volume knob on the back of the 1000 and make sure you don't overdrive the input. By the way just send the 1000 a mono signal from the mixer not a stereo signal the mic channel is mono.
