Hello,
when performing live with only Genos 2, with a microphone connected to the keyboard, 2 speakers, do you use mono or stereo? What is beter?

Mono is better of course. You only have to carry and lift half as much equipment. 8)

Hi @Koudy,

If you have a two-speaker system, it is strongly recommended that you operate it in stereo, i.e. use both main out jacks. All voices and effects are designed for stereo operation. If you use mono (only main out jack "L/L+R" connected or the signals from both main out jacks summed externally to mono), many voices will sound significantly worse. You should only use mono if only 1 speaker is actually being used.

By the way, what was said also applies to stage performances with large PAs. Normally all PAs these days are stereo and keyboards are usually always fed into the mixer in stereo.


Best regards,
Chris
