ViLo, Sorry I didn't get to this earlier, but between gigs and sailing I havn't been spending much time on the forum. The Z-5500 system is awesome, and the Alesis 6FX mixer is in the same category. I frequently used the Z-5500 with audiences to 125, and the Bose L1 is used for larger venues. As for my setup, you can see the photos of it on the PSR Tutorial site by clicking the Music Tab at the top of the home page, then clicking on articles and finally projects. Scroll down to the Z-5500 setup and you can see how I put it together and transport the system. It provides great very crisp, clear highs, gut thumping lows, and good mids. The mid-range sounds, however, can be improved dramatically by replacing the Center speaker with a larger 8-ohm speaker of 5 to 6 inches. This will also provide a bit of a volume boost as well. The volume level of the system, is awesome, especially in the boost levels. The bost levels are found when the main volume control is advanced beyond the maximum level. This allows you to access boost levels to Boost 11, which will blow the windows out of most homes. Additionally, the system allows for independant adjust of the individual speakers. Fronts, rears, center and sub can all be set individually for better balance. If you are using the Alesis mixer, you can also set the mixer's EQ and effects, thereby adding richness to the overall sound quality. In my case, the EQ is managed through the PSR-3000, which has independant EQ settings for the keyboard and mic. Hope this helps, Gary ------------------ Travlin' Easy

Montana, I used the rig with two sinbgers, and two guitars plugged into the Alesis, then fired the mixer through the keyboard's Auxiliary Input, and fired the keyboard's main outs to the Z-5500. Essentially, there were three singers, two guitars, and a keyboard, all fired through the Z-5500. This was for a private, poolside party with about 100 guests. I never had to turn the volume above Boost 7 and we rocked the place all night long. Cheers, Gary ------------------ Travlin' Easy
