What is the total power output of the PaAS MK2?
The total system output is 120W (2x30W mid/high + 1x60W subwoofer) when connected to a Pa5X. When connected to Pa4X, Pa3X, or Pa3XLe models, the output is 80W (2x20W mid/high + 1x40W subwoofer).
Can I use the PaAS MK2 with other brands of keyboards?
The PaAS MK2 is specifically designed to integrate with KORG arranger keyboards, particularly the Pa5X, Pa4X, Pa3X, and Pa3XLe, utilizing the Smart Connect system. It is not compatible with keyboards from other manufacturers.
How many speakers are in the PaAS MK2 system?
The system features three speakers: two 80mm mid-range speakers and two tweeters for high frequencies, along with a dedicated subwoofer. This makes it a 3-way speaker system.
What are the dimensions and weight of the PaAS MK2?
The dimensions are 992mm (width) x 173mm (depth) x 137mm (height). The mass is 6.5kg.
Is the PaAS MK2 a necessary accessory for the Pa5X?
The PaAS MK2 is an optional accessory. The Pa5X has its own internal speaker system. The PaAS MK2 is designed to provide a more powerful, higher-fidelity, and integrated sound experience.
Troubleshooting
No sound output from the amplifier
Ensure the PaAS MK2 is securely connected to the compatible KORG keyboard using the Smart Connect system. Verify that the keyboard is powered on and that the amplifier volume is turned up. Check the audio output settings on the keyboard to ensure the PaAS MK2 is selected as the primary output.
Reduced audio volume or power
Confirm the model of the connected KORG keyboard. The PaAS MK2's power output is optimized for the Pa5X. If connected to an older model (Pa4X, Pa3X, Pa3XLe), the output will be lower as designed (80W total). Check the volume levels on both the amplifier and the keyboard.
Humming or buzzing noise
Ensure all connections are secure. Try moving the amplifier away from other electronic devices that might cause interference. If the issue persists, it may indicate a hardware problem; contact customer support.
Smart Connect system not recognizing the amplifier
Ensure the amplifier is properly aligned with the keyboard's Smart Connect port. Gently disconnect and re-connect the amplifier. Restart both the keyboard and the amplifier. Check the keyboard's system settings for any options related to external amplification systems.
