Hi
I posted this in a couple of FB groups but I’m not really getting the help I need so I come to the experts here in hopes you can help me address these issues.
I posted this same question in the KPA group. I’m hoping to get as much help/ideas as possible.
Hey all…
I need some help in setting up my K Stage.
I’ve owned it for a couple of months and have always used it hooked up to my A/I and into my computer.
But now I’m trying to get it ready for actual live use.
I bought a Freyette LXII power amp and I’m running into a Splawn 1x12 cab with an Eminence EM12 speaker.
I hooked it up for band practice the other night for the first time and was very disappointed.
I ran the monitor out->input of the Freyette (not bridged)->cab.
The Freyette is set to mono 8 ohms(same as cab).
It sounded very digital and shrill. My bass player said it was cutting his head off. Lol. So I lowered the treble and presence and got through rehearsal.
Today, I went and ran out of the mains output of the Stage with everything else the same. It sounded glorious…just like an amp in the room.
I A/B with the monitor out and there is a huge tone difference going on.
I went into every setting I could think of and I can’t see anything that is set differently or incorrectly.
Not sure if this is important or not but the setup sounds infinitely better with the cab block turned on. I was always under the impression that the cab would be turned off when running into a real guitar cab but it sounded terrible when I do that.
Anyone have any ideas what I can do to get the monitor out to sound exactly like the mains out?
In an ideal live sitting want to run the mains out to FOH and monitor out to the onstage cab and I’d like them to sound the same.
Also I noticed the when I plug into the left output of the Stage it has a huge volume drop….not sure if that is because the Freyette is set to mono? Again, I’m an ideal setup, I’d like to run stereo to FOH and mono to the cab. But I can tackle that after we fix the other problems.
if there are any details that need clarification, please ask me and I’ll do my best to answer.
thank you!
This type of setup is new to me as I’ve always used a real amp up until now. Sorry if these are rudimentary questions but I truly am at a loss as to how to fix this.
Any help/ideas here are greatly appreciated.
TIA
