hi all,i,m doing a charity show xmas at our club it has it,s own system of speakers amps plus loads of other gear,what i want to know is this how do i connect my psr2000 up to this system, do i put jack plugs into the amp ,i doubt if i could plug into the speakers only because i don,t think the power in k/board will be enough to power these big speakers ,the hall has about 300 people ,many thanks mike

Nard,
Am I missing something or.....out of the psr into whatever amp the system you are plugging into uses and that will drive the system speakers, not the PSR.

Nardoni,

Yes, you are right that there is not enough power from the PSR2000 to plug your 2000 into the speakers alone.

You need to plug your 2000 into the house mixing board console, which in turn goes into their house PA (amp) system and then to their speakers, OR if the house system consists of only self powered PA speakers, then you can plug your 2000 directly to them.

Hope this helps,

Scott

thankyou both,that explains things a bit better ,i understood that if you plug jack plugs into an amplifier,because there was a reasonable amount of power going into an amp from a keyboard ,because it has it,s own amplifier it could blow it ,and i didn,t know if you could plug rca leads into a p,a system,anyway that makes sense,cheers mike.

I don't mean to overstate the obvious,but there is NO power from the output of the keyboard. It will never power any speakers. You MUST use an external amp to hear the signal over the level of the internal speakers.

At the risk of sounding overly-cautious - be sure of WHERE you plug into, BEFORE ytou EVER plug anything in. Make sure you are certain of the system operation before you attempt to connect to anyone else's gear. You take a risk of ruining BOITH systems if you are not familiar with different gear set ups. Be careful, my friend. The lights on the tree should be the ONLY thing burning at this party !

thanks uncle dave,to a lot of us amateurs it,s quite daunting ,especially the amount of equipment on stage, my ignorance shows,,but there must be others out there who haven,t asked the right questions and found out too late,also there may not be anyone at a function qualified to guide you and you are told to set up yourself ,i appreciate your help and guidance,cheers mike

That is EXACTLY right. NO power comes from the 1/4" or rca line jacks on the back. The entire power amp section is routed to the INTERNAL speakers and the HP jack. You are safe to connect to any other external amp with no trouble. Good luck !
