I think I over complicated things. If I just use 3 mixer channels with the 100hz button activated for the left and right channel for the SS, and 100hz off for the bass channel then finding a better EQ should be easier. That eliminates the low signals being processed through the SS. So I just need to use a separate mixer output to the GK input and things will be improved,... uhh... I think. I may have jumped the gun on posting my issue here but needed to thank Aspen anyhow. If anybody has any input or experience hooking things up this way, let me know please. Thanks

Just bought the SS and have been testing a bit. I'm using it in my low ceiling, open concept carpeted basement, kind of a cozy room. I'm using the sub out to a GK MB112 bass combo amp so have lots of power available to me if I want. Its a little hard to detect the bloom but I'm not too concerned in that regard as I realize it will be different on stage or on a gig. I'm more concerned about achieving the best quality sound for my environment. I use a Kurzweil pc3k through a Mackie profx8 mixer with my left and right channels panned at 3 and 9 o'clock. So far I did not like the sound hard panned as it seemed to create more of a reverb effect. The SS is all set at 12 o'clock positions and seems good. I have it angled horizontally down onto a piece of plywood and happy with the sound and quality. My greater concern is the combo bass. Instead of using the SS sub out, can I get a more detailed bass response using a mixer channel. My keyboard has the ability to route an aux out, so I'm thinking about editing all the bass programs and setups I use to this aux out, but then I would lose all my other programs access to the lower hertz as they would only be going to the SS. I've decided the SS doesn't give me my desired bottom end. I'm kind of new to all the paraphenalia so wondering what alternatives I have? The Mackie mixer does have those 100hz buttons on each channel and it also has a separate mini equalizer. Does anyone with more experience have any suggestions in running my cables and setting the EQ. The Kurzweil piano programs need access to the bass amp and eq'uing so I need a flexible solution. I'm not in a band so play a lot of LH bass and I only have the one keyboard. I have no intention on buying any more equipment. Thank-you Aspen for the great service and personal response to my queries and for providing a nice little discount to Canadian customers to help offset costs. I feel a little special when you told me only a couple dozen have been sold up here.
