Keyboard and guitar via AX8 to self-powered amp

[ksandvik]

I want to downsize my setup and at the same time more gigs require a combination of guitar and keyboard work. I would like to avoid dragging a mixer and multiple cables on stage. Is it doable to hook a keyword with no processing to the balanced output of AX8 and the guitar going through the processing parts? I could control the volume levels on the keyboard itself? Thx.

Possible but I feel like it'd make for a really awkward workflow.

Most of the better, powered speakers out there offer two inputs. I know the EV I had did. And the Xitone I have now does as well. I'd say just run AX8 into one input, keyboard into the other and use the output volume on each device to balance them at the speaker.

You could use the FX Loop block to bring the keyboard in via IN 2.

Thx, FX Loop block would be it. My self-powered RCF speaker only has one input and I don't feel I need to replace it as I really like the sound output and the quality of this monitor.
