Re: Keyboard amps for electronic drums

2003-08-05 by brown8700

Zilla:
I believe the KB 4 is an updated version of the KB300, which is a 150 
watt, four channel amp with a 15" woofer, 5" mid range and tweeter. 
My keyboard player has on of these and I have used it on occassion. 
It's great for reproducing the full range of e-drums. 150 watts is 
fine for small venues, or to use as a monitor for larger venues. I 
bought the very similar Samson KB140 only because I couldn't find a 
deal on a used KB300.

Personally, I don't think the 2 10"s on the KB5 will be enough to 
give you the 'oomph' required for the low frequencies. My previous 
systems had 2 10"s (but only 80 watts) and the bass would overdrive 
even at very lo volumes.

Steph seems to have a lot of recent research, as well as in-depth 
knowledge, on the subject of sound reinforcement. Maybe she can give 
you a more technical explanation.
