Hello
Following problem
When I record with my Nordstage 3 via a Tascam (Aux) ... and after the recording I connect the Tascam to a soundbar (Creative), it sounds super good.
I connect the Nord stage 3 directly to the soundbar (Creative) and play it sounds cruel ... dull and flat.
In this case do I need an additional mixer ... Equalizer ????
Great wishes Jürgen

Can you provide more details about how you connect Tascam to a soundbar, and how you connect Nord to a sound bar?

Hi-

Probably what is going on here is that the soundbar is expecting a signal from some kind of pre-amp, such as a TV or the Mixer.
The Nord has -10Db line outputs, not designed to connect directly to a soundbar-

+1, try connecting the headphones out of the Nord to the soundbar, for example/test; if still not OK get a mixer, even a small Behringer Q502, and use its RCA outs.

Hello
Thanks for all the answers.
I also think that I have to switch a small mixer with equalizer behind the Nord Stage 3.
The soundbar is stereo operated and is only used for practice.
Most of the time I play with AKG k702 headphones ... so I don't annoy the woman.
