Doc Z:

Some boards will do this.

The z5500 will amplify what it gets, if the signal is weak going in it will be much lower volume.

Don't recall which keyboared you have, but what you need to do is raise the signal strength coming out of your keyboard. This is done on most keyboards by going into the EQ settings and boosting the volume a bit.

I find the perfect match to be, set the manual master volume on the top of the keyboard to about 1 o'clock, with the control of the z5500 set to music and volume all the way up (not in the Boost mode) go into your keyboard eq and bring up the eq volume to normal loudness for the room your playing in. This alows you to master manual up if needed, or if you need to play to a bigger room you can go from boost (1 to 11) "I think it is" Boost is attained by control vol turned to max then keep turning and it will go into boost.

If you get a stong signal to the z5500's I guarantee you'll not worry about volume.

Hope this helps, if I can be of some help. yell.
