The EA7 sounds great with no e.q. added, and no compression. I tried to make it sound better, but only went backwards. I wish all the arrangers came from the factory set as well as that one.

While Donny gave me some in depth info on a video which I did find informative I got my idea as to what to try first from three of our other Pros. Don, Dave, and Fran don,'t use any Compression . Don't know how Donny is setting up his Genos but I'm sure he knows how to get the best out of it.
Nice to have 4 Pros available for info thanks to this site.

Bill basically as always just use your own ears..
every Pa is different and what music you put thru it using whatever devices you have, KB, etc,...so many things need to be considered, is it studio, live, band,solo, etc?... in the sound chain. headphone

True, but sometime you have to understand what is causing your problem, before you can fix it smile

I really had no major problem but while messing with the Mastering EQs ( which I have also turned off ) I got interested in the Compression settings. My PA is the best sounding I've ever had. The two EON One's provide a nice balanced sound so all the EQ I need I do at the Preformance level. Still haven't set up the gig rig to try it but as I said , in my studio thru the CM30's its more respnsive to my playing.

Harold, you definatly should have given the BK9 more than 30 minutes. Buy it back !

Hi, New member here. Enjoying the conversations, especially this one. Like others I'm always looking for the best sound produced by my Yamaha PSR S975. Changed MEQ several times, but never bothered with the compression, until today after reading these comments. I changed to Flat as per Dynamix Audio example on Youtube and played around with the compression. Reverb: legend and atmospheric. Result: Excellent sound. My PA system is a a Fender Passport PD150 with alleged Bose designed speakers and it never sounded better than now. I know the way we hear sounds is an individual thing, but I thought I should share this. Glad I joined this forum.

Gerry
