Looking for a replacement for a TOA KD-1

[EdK]

Hello all,

I've been using a TOA KD-1 portable mixer/amp for many years. TOA has discontinued this amp and parts are no longer available. I've been keeping it going for the past several years by canablizing other TOA KD-1's I had to use for spare parts but it time to upgrade.

I'm looking for a similar mixer/amp and the only ones I can find are made by NADY. Models RPA-2, RPA-4 and RPA-6 (2, 4 and 6 channels).

Does anyone use any of these NADY amps? Are you pleased with them? Is their sound comparable to the TOA? A nice feature of the NADY's is that they are made with wheels and a carry handle which the TOA's never had.

Or does anyone know of another manufacturer that makes something similar? I know Roland makes keyboard amps but I don't care for the way they sound.

My preference is 4 or 6 channels with XLR and 1/4 inch ine inputs on each channel but would settle for 1 XLR/line input and the remaining 3 or 5 as line inputs. Also, it must be one piece.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hey Ed,

The QSC K series are very popular with a lot of keyboard players here.

Personally I use a separate line mixer before running into a JBL EON.

Cheers!

Hey CowboyNQ,

I appreciate your reply but I don't think you understand what I'm looking for. My TOA KD-1 is a combination powered mixer with 4 channels and speaker in one unit. Basically a small self contained portable PA system. Similar to a Roland Cube but larger with more channels and a 10" full-range speaker.

G'day Ed,

You're right, I don't know exactly what you're looking for, however I do know exactly what you have due to the magic of the internet.

Forgive me for suggesting some popular alternatives which, by all reports, work very well indeed.

Good luck in your search.

Regards,

Paul
