Steve,

The proper crossover point is not "set" to be right for keyboards or anything else. On a poorly designed speaker system you may be able to adjust
levels, slope or frequency to make it sound "better". A high quality full range cabinet will sound good for all program material since the design goal
is to "reproduce" the sound put to it as accurately as possible. An instrument (guitar, etc.) speaker system is designed to help create the sound and
add in its own character. The crossover of a well-designed PA speaker is determined by cabinet, driver type, impedance, efficiency, etc. A good cross
over point should be an invisible (audio wise) as possible in a well-designed system. Are you trying to say a certain crossover point makes keyboards
sound better? That doesn't make any sense. Can you put it in to context so it does?

Thanks,

Gary

Hi

The research we did on speakers. Taught us a very important fact. On most Pa 2-way cabinets. The crossover point is very wrong for most keyboards. When corrected the sound is very pleasing...

I thought I could ignore this issue, but the other night playing through 5 2 way cabinets with 15 and a horn, the following occurred.
I believe it was the standard default split point between the lower and upper manual
meaning the highest bass note
and the lowest upper note- one or the other or maybe doubtfully BOTH manuals (!!)

All I am sure of is, playing that C note, the volume was much much louder than the other bass notes.
I was under pressure of being in a pick up group ( I had never played with these guys ) so I didn't make time to ascertain if the neighboring notes around the much louder C ( C4 or C3 or C2, I am sorry, I am not sure ) were to what extent also louder, but the C was amazingly louder. This has been the case when I normally play through 2 15 and a horn eons, but this time it was five 15's. I am guessing the presence of 15's emphasizes the offending frequency.
My only guess is foldback has something to do with this. I am a full time professional but I know little about synths and clonewheels.
I a member named Dennis from Jersey PA area tried to help me the last time, but I lost contact with him. I have to get this corrected within a week. I am willing to pay for help, Thank you
