Has anyone run this through a sound system? I play with my church's band and I'm wondering if it'll sound ok. Would it plug into a direct box?

I play it through my guitar amp. The chord is damn flimsy so be careful! Sound is good, if you can use a preamp or sound processor with reverb it helps a ton. A direct box should work just fine. It's way easier and sounds better than micing it IMHO. If you push the levels of your PA system you may run into feedback issues. Run a dress rehearsal and find the best spots on stage that don't feedback. Again that chord is very flimsy, one trip and it's game over. Have a backup plan like a microphone just in case.

I think it will plug in to a direct box. We plugged it in to a Shure wireless system for instruments and it worked great.

Mine sounds awesome. I couldn't be more please for the price to quality ratio. I've had a few of my fellow players comment on it's good sound. I can't, of course, say what yours might sound like but I'm pleased with mine and have had it for quite a while now ... good luck

Source direct honestly pumps the direct input through. It will sound as good or as bad as the sound you put into it.This amp is terrific for producing great sound. Nothing truer.

Sorry, I can't help you there. I have not experienced such a problem. Sounds to me like you have a bad unit. I use my "mini" to do small group gigs. I hook it on my waist and it adds that little boost to carry the sound. I have never tried to play it at a loud setting. Frankly, I'd send it back and get another one to replace it. I still like my Danelectro.

The power on the rca out for the sub is intentionally low for clarity. A small amp should be used with it. I would recommend an all in one like the kicker bass station. Its a hundred watts built into the box. But im pretty sure you will need an amp for any sub connected with the rca, otherwise I would just wire it to the higher power outputs and omit the rca outs.

I gave up trying, so I haven't checked in a while. I mostly use mine for live playing with Mainstage. But, I'd love to know the answer myself... Let me know!

I hooked the pc as audio input to a receiver, and hooked up the speakers as ouputs on the receiver. The receiver has more power and functionality than the the pc with respect to sound. I have this setup with 5 speakers and the PSW111 all connected to a yamaha receiver. awesome sound, works great.

Yes, you will. I use mine regularly for my church band. It works just fine.

You can connect it directly, but a pre-amp could help. The sound is pretty clean as is.

Hello, I seem to remember seeing something somewhere about a sub woofer that is compatible with this speaker system, but I didn't have a need so I don't have any idea how well the sub woofer works. I have had the USB powered speaker bar for about 6 months and I love it. It does not deliver a huge sound, but it has plenty for my needs. It has enough volume for me and the sound is fine. I use mine on a MAC computer. It was a very easy setup, and Im certain it would would work just as well with your PC. This is not a sound system that is made to fill a huge room with a full and lush sound. It is instead, a practical inexpensive speaker system that works great for sound and music while your setting in front of your computer or TV. I hope this helped a little. My advice is ... get one, you will like it. Good luck. Craig

Done this many times-no issues. It's really, really an exceptional amp. Just realize it's only 30 watts, though, so the room size it fills is small. Running it to a board and larger system has never been a problem. Mine looks like heck (having survived many, many gigs), but sounds as good as new.

I personally haven't added nothing extra to the system and it sounds great. Between the amp and this device, nothing but bass comes thru the subs. Side note I did notice the bass setting on the radio does add/decrease the bass thru the subs. just for tuning purposes.

Hi Paige, We are also using this for a church group but are not experiencing distortion. We occasionally experience some hissing and popping, which is related to batteries beginning to go bad; usually they last about a month with 2-3 hours per week of use. Also, line of sight helps between the mics and the receiver antennas. On stage is preferrable, if the receiver is in the back of the house try to get it up high; human bodies are mostly water and absorb radio signals better than allowing them to pass through. This would be more of a hiss/pop issue, as well, not really distortion. As for the distortion, are you using the "mix" output (XLR) or the four individual 1/4" connectors for output? Both are at line level (+4dB), not mic level (-10dB). If you're using the XLR mix output, make sure the input on your sound board is set to line level, if you can make that adjustment; if not, a quick trip to a live sound store (music or stage) can get you a 20dB XLR pad to reduce the level. In a pinch, you can try turning the knobs on the front of the unit to about half-way and see if that reduces the distortion. If you're using the four separate 1/4" outputs, same applies-they're line level outputs, your sound board should have a switch to select +4/-10, set it to +4; if not, four 20dB 1/4" pads should do the trick. Hope something in this post helps. :-)

Sorry to be so long, but while the problem seemed to clear up, it suddenly developed the hum again. I have a Technics receiver with a phono output, so I have the turntable set to Phone Off. This worked until today, when it suddenly developed a hum, and when I tried to reconnect the wires the white wire produced a pronounced hum and the red wire produced an explosive pop. I played it this afternoon without incident, and have played it for hundreds of hours since last summer, but today the hum came back with a vengeance.
