First, the keyboard's master EQ settings are: EQ1=4, EQ2=3, EQ3=4, EQ4=8, EQ5=10
The current mic settings are:
Low= 100hz +9d, Mid= 2.0 0db, High= 10Khz +9db
Noise Gate= off, Th. -60Db, Compressor= on/-20/5.0/110
Harmony Control= play/off/lower/0-bal/auto/xf/off/70
The individual speaker volume settings on the Z-5500 are currently set at maxium, and only the main volume is used to control the overall volume. This seems to work out well in the office, but I may have to modify this in a larger venue.
As for the input, i merely placed the selector switch in the up position, then connected a Radio Shack headset adapter cable to the 1/8-inch input jack located on the side of the remote receiver, and plugged in a short effects cable into the 1/4-inch female plug at the other end of the headphone extension. The 1/4-inch males are then plugged into the standard keyboard output jacks, which provides you with additional volume control directly from the keyboard itself. I'm singing through a Crown CM-311-A headset mic, which has provided me with outstanding results.
Today, I'm off to the local music store to look for appropriate stannds for the left and right satellite speakers, which I intend to mount two to a pole, and they will be faced at a 30 degree angle from each other to provide the broadest possible coverage. The satellites will then be positioned about 3 feet to my left and right, about three feet behind me. The sub and center speaker will be positioned on the floor on the left side of the keyboard stand, and the remote receiver will be on top of the sub as well, positioned behind the center speaker. I'll probably Velcro the center speaker and receiver in place just to be on the safe side.
All of the wiring will be harnessed using cable wrap, which can be purchased at Radion Shack as well. This keeps the cables neat, covered and eliminates the eyesore of dozens of cables all over the floor. It also facilitates faster set-ups and tear-downs.
As things progress, I'll post some photos,
Gary
