Hello friends :)
I struggle with EQ on my Tyros. The sound is very muddy on my PA systems, just a lot of bassy boom boon, and the lead instruments are not heard clearly. I tried the preset EQ, such as flat, live and powerful. The problem is that I don't hear any difference! That can't be right. For instance, the Flat setting should give less bass and more treble, but I hear no difference.
Any help appreciated, as I am having a gig soon, and would like to use my Tyros for this one.
Edit: I have set the keyboard om PA system, no help. The PA system is the Bose 1 Pro and the Bose L1 Compact.
I use the jack channel, that has no bass/treble settings. Too bad.

I don't remember if the Tyros has multiple outputs, but be sure you are coming from the L and R, or the L/R output, and not a sub out. Just a guess . . .
-
I suspect you're using the wrong outputs.
To be sure, listen to the sound output through a set of headphones.
If that's okay, then I'm right.
An alternative test would be to use a split lead of ONE stereo jack plug going to TWO mono jack plugs.
Plug the stereo one into the headphones output, then the mono ones to you L & R amp inputs.
If the sound is not exactly what you're hearing with the headphones, then it's not the Tyros, it's your PA.

My Keyboard I always set to flat and then use the separate Mixer I have with the speakers to set up the sound for a venue.

Don, Norm and Eileen. Thanks a lot. It was the wrong sockets! :) :) :)

Glad it was something simple. Don't ask how we knew to suggest that! :)

Been there, dun that, got ALL them friggin' T-shirts, Don???

I always now use headphone out with a simple, single stereo lead and change the speaker switch over so my on-board speakers stay on.
Ironically i seem to get a more pure sound and it is so simple, i was forever wondering which was the best option.
For me it's an easy fix....and sounds great

Thanks Keith.
Too many holes in the back of that blasted Tyros 5 :) :) :) I mess up all the time...
-
Good option too Keith.
I use the headphone out socket for an in-ear or backward-facing monitor because I can us the volume knob for onstage volume control.
That way you can use the Aux out sockets to the PA.

Good option Norm. Is there a way to increase the output til the earphones?

Not on the Tyros, Toril.
All headphone outputs nowadays are limited to a certain Db because if it's too loud, it could damage your hearing.
But if you're using the headphone socket to drive a monitor system, (such as a Yamaha Stagepass) there's plenty of power coming out of the headphone socket anyway.
Short answer is if the headphone socket is going into a mixing desk, a 250,000-watt concert PA system even a small one, then the preamplifier will boost the sound (theoretically) to blow the **** roof off whatever gig you're playing.
The output on the headphone socket is pretty strong, Toril, but I'm just a muso, not a roadie! ;-)

Thanks Norm :) I was trying to use some light headphones at the same time as using a PA system, to better monitor my playing. But to hear the sound in the headphones while playing I had to turn the master volume to full, and then the PA got too load. I can solve this by using headphones with volume controls on them, but chose to use a monitor instead. So I got a Bose S1 Pro in addition to my bigger Bose L1 Compact. Party on Thursday. Will see how it goes! I daisy chain the two speakers with an audio cable. Soundcheck at home, neighbours probably not happy, I live in an apartment house :)
