How would I set up a keyboard on stage? My keyboard is a Yamaha PSR E413. How would I use guitar cables/ instrument cables to connect my keyboard to speakers that are on stage? This is so that my keyboard will directly be connected to speakers. I would plug one end into my keyboard's Phones/ Output port, but where would I plug the other end into? What components do I need?If this is in the wrong section, I'm sorry!
You need an amp of some kind -- a keyboard amp or even a guitar amp (keyboards don't sound very good through guitar amps, but they'll do in a pinch). You plug into your amp, and this is where you hear your sound. I don't know what kind of outputs your keyboard has, so you might have to use an adapter(s) with a guitar cable to plug into the amp. Sometimes you can also plug your keyboard or your amp directly into the house PA system so the sound of your keyboard gets mixed in there, too. This is in addition to the vocals and the drum microphones and the microphones on the guitar amps, etc. that also go to the house PA. Sometimes there won't be a place for you to plug your keyboard into the house PA and your amp will have to be what everyone hears. You need an amp of your own. EDIT: Thumbs down? Really? Is my answer incorrect? You got a better answer? Let's hear it.
