Hi,With my KN 7000 I would like to install a amplified sub to sub out 1. so I will have a better base? Because I am going to a place up north and I will play in a small area ,and I will not bring my amps,speakers etc... If I can plug the amplified sub ,what will be the settings in my KN7000 ( I read the manual but I have a hard time to understand) Thanks in advance

Most Subs have a crossover network which cuts the highs so just plugging into the R/L output will do the job. If your sub does not have a crossover go to Menu – Sound --- Separate sound settings. Here is where you will make your choice.
Years ago I used the Sub setting, one for drums (Right) and one for bass (Left) Stereo. All went well until I used a friend’s midi file, the subs were cancelled , I had no drum or bass sound just my right and left hand. A n d a floor of dancers that were staring.
Thanks John for your reply ,My sub have a crossover,so thats mean I will use 2 jacks from the main out to one RCA plug to my sub I will wait your answer before I proceed Thanks

If you're only going to a small hall, why not use one of the Reverb settings?
You will find these by pressing:-
PROGRAM MENUS (on the right of KN under the Red Record button) This will take you to the first of 2 pages of suggested reverb settings for various sized venus.
I sometimes play in a Community Hall and find the setting 'Large Hall-1' (on page 2) is more than adequate for the job, but of course, it does depend on the hall itself e.g whether it has wood flooring or a carpet.
Try it out at home - you will be surprised at the differences.

There is no need to use a stereo (Two wires, left and right) for a sub. One wire in the Left/Right mono output is all you need.
Audrey Turner has a good idea about working with your reverb settings they do improve the sound. To much reverb makes the sound very thin. The right about gives a fuller sound to your set up. (Just my opinion)

Thew important thing is your source...If you are coming from the keyboard via the mono output..there is no problem with a single input to the powered sub....but if you are coming from stereo outs of the keyboard..you should combine left/right to the single input of the sub..via a Y cord or change the output to mono from the keyboard...
The reason you need to have left and right combined to the mono input of the sub...The bass and bass drum may be panned hard left or right..this will prevent the signal to the sub that has only a left or right signal to the input..

I understand that the Kn7000 has a mono output R/L -- which includes both sides of the stereo outputs. That is all that the sub needs, it is a mono unit, a single wire.
