I see 2 inputs on the back - 1/4 and XLR. Can you use both at the same time? Why? I want to use as a monitor ie use Keyboard in 1/4" and vocal in XLR. I will lower the bass so I won't get feedback in the monitor, etc.

What you want to do is what this amp accommodates. You can use both inputs at the same time. I love mine.

Both work, however, it is always better to use the XLR output to your mixing board/amp if you have one. XLRs are shielded and grounded and have a much more quality signal. Both work, the 1/4" output works for appications like going straight into a karaoke system or something like a guitar amp if you want it to be much more mobile.

You cannot use both the input and output on the 2 track at the same time, they can only be used 1 at a time.

That's what it is built for! Unlimited audio and MIDI tracks. You *will* need to purchase a separate audio interface if your computer doesn't have say 1/4" and XLR audio inputs, but you can pick one up for a couple hundred bucks here on Amazon if need be.

I play in a country band and we use it for vocals and I run my bass guitar through it at the same time, so two vocals and my bass at the same time. Works great and I still keep the volume way down. And also the vocals sound great and can be adjusted for each thing, bass or vocals at the same time. I bought it so that I wouldn't have to carry my big amp to smaller functions and it sounds better than the big bass amp and I get vocals as well. I hope this answers some of your questions.

Yes, you can use both a mic and an instrument at the same time. I don't use the delay so don't know about that but would suppose that it would effect both at the same time since they are used together. There is just one delay knob so it must effect both. I use it for playing the QChord and singing and really like the sound.

There is only one input. I play electronic drums and use a direct box for that input. And my vocal I just use my monitor mix on the rolls from the main mixer. Works fantastic. I totally turn off the drums on my monitor mix that's coming from the main mixer and use the input volume that is on the rolls.

No, but you will never get a quality sound running two inputs into the same amp. If you had another amp it would probably work fine. I use my practice amp for vocals when I do my personal practice and it works great.

There are two XLR connections, one for each channel. There is one 1/4 inch output that is balanced output of both channels. I use the balanced 1/4 inch as I just use the mics for speaking and I don't have to adjust anything for each mic. If you want to use them for singing then the XLR on each is the way to connect them.

Well, when I tried recording I didn't hear my vocal on track 2 over the instruments on track 1. So I have a question in my answer. Will it play back an existing track and a new track (a vocal) through the headphones? I'm so frustrated. Meanwhile, I got a new microphone from Amazon. Everything's brand spankin' new. Luv to hear what I sound like when I'm recording. HELP!

my main outputs go to an amp then to my speakers ,im pretty sure you cant go direct to speakers .if u can it would be the main output xlr to 1/4send

No. There is only an XLR input. The 1/8" port on the box is output only. You'd need to buy some sort of adaptor to plug an 1/8" into it. Hope this helps!

there are two XLR-1/4" combo inputs infront and 2 L/R 1/4" outputs at the back

I run mics through a mixer before going to the speakers. This unit has a 1/4" output and XLR output. (the mixer will handle both and then give you both options to go to the speakers as well) Note: Most speakers use the 1/4" input. I hope this helps

one xlr and one 1/4" outputs, your choice, I'm currently using a Countryman direct box for my K&K; pickup for direct input to a mixer...Glenn

Yes...you could do that. I would run the piano into Line 1 in with either a XLR or 1/4" plug (assuming you want a mono signal in) depending on what the output of your piano is. If your piano supports stereo out; then you use either Line 2/3 or Line 4/5 for your inputs. If you're using a laptop or ipod (Laptop would probably be better because you can use the USB bus as an input) because the whole point of using the Q502USB is being able to get a stereo signal out of a laptop (I use a stereo output from my MacBook Pro) and it sounds great. Each channel has a "Balance" or "Pan" that allows you place your signal where you want it in the mix. For example, if you have backing tracks playing, they are likely already correctly balanced in the mix, so you'd probably only play with the balance of your piano. Maybe you'd prefer them toward the "right' in the stereo mix, or perhaps you'd rather hear it toward the "left" or directly in the middle. The Xenyx Q502USB allows you to put it where ever you want. I'm using it in exactly the same manner that you're looking for, it sounds like to me. I use the 1/4" Line 1 In - plugging my guitar into it and then have Blues tracks playing in iTunes on the MacBook (via the USB port) and plug headphones into the line out to listen. In your case, there are stereo RCA plugs for the output to your "sound system". Although, you would also have the 1/4" (headphone jack) stereo out, if you'd prefer. It's a solid piece of audio equipment and for less than $100, I think you'll be very pleased. Give me a consultants credit on your first album, if you don't mind (and 1% of the gross would be great as well!).

I find for just sketching with my guitar or even catching a band practice the on board mics are pretty good. It only comes with two 1/4 input (channels 1 and 2). Ive used an sm 58 and beta 58 (for vocals) with a chord with the xlr and 1/4 on either end. I use an sm 57 for my amp, though sometimes I go di from the amp (its a DT25). I may just get an adapter and leave it plugged in to the unit. All these options have worked great for me.
