I have been at the
NAMM show in Anaheim, CA for the past week so I have been away from the BBS. I was there as an exhibitor and used my personal Empeg in the booth for music to make our disco lighting dance.
The Empeg definitely had a problem like you described when hooked directly up to an amp via the RCA jacks. The problem was so bad that we had to use a CD player when demoing the disco lights because there was not enough low end punch from the empeg to put on a good show.
On an up note... For the last two days of the show I decided to put a DJ mixer in-line between the CD and Empeg and the amp to make it easier to go between background music (empeg) and disco music (CD Player). Once the mixer was put in-line the Empeg started to perform as it should have been. I am not an electronics expert so I'm not sure what to attribute this to.
