from Ketron.it:

"Ketron presents of the Musikmesse a Professional P.A. System which is the result of extensive research and development utilizing Ketron's experience and expertize in the design of electronic musical instruments. "

This has me VERY worried.
They should be spending time, putting their efforts into finishing and getting their keyboards done, getting their style software done, getting out a complete AUDYA manual

Seems like they don't sell enough keyboards/modules, so now they get into selling P.A.'s??

How about making their gear competitively priced with all other brands, then maybe they would sell more and would not need to sell speakers, or whatever they are gonna sell.

There are too many speakers to choose from already and not enough TOP arrangers,

Besides we already have the option of buying those kick @ss 8" Podiums, :-)
What more do we need?

Any pictures of this new Ketron PA system?

The more I think about this the more I think Ketron might have something here.

Ketron users are a loyal bunch, so offering a Ketron PA to go with your Ketron keyboard might be a good way of generating new business in these bad times.

Just thinking out loud here.

James.

After all, if you are prepared to pay at least a grand more than a T3 for an arranger with, OK, let's be generous and just say some 'unfinished' features, well, a PA from a company with no experience in making PA's probably makes great sense, too

Can't WAIT to try out that new JBL arranger... I mean, it's GOT to be as good as their speakers, doesn't it?

Diki,

the QSC arranger will give yours a run for the money...

maybe this new PA has an intelligent processor that automatically fills in those "missing" complex audio guitar chords...

Maybe it will look like another Bose PAS knockoff?

but will it be better than those famous 8" Podiums?

If you ever heard the speakers on a MS60 or X1 keyboard, you may have more confidence.

I am certain that any product that Ketron puts out will not be junk.

Good thing this was not annouced April 1st

Didn't you hear NOTHING is BETTER then the Podium 802's 500+ posts prove it

Remember Solton?
Solton PA/Speakers is not a new thing, and as we know, Solton by Ketron was the
brand-name before it was only Ketron left to read.
