Members 72 bonne Posted November 18, 2010 Members Share Posted November 18, 2010 I just purchased this used powered mixer a few days ago and have a question about it. I'm sure this an easy question to most of you. Downloaded the online manual also but still uncertain as this kind of stuff is fairly new to me. It has only one 1/4 in. monitor output on the front of it. So say I want to hook up two monitors, How do I go about this? Do I use a two into one, 1/4'' adapter, like this one? oops. sorry on the spelling in the thread title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaBender Posted November 18, 2010 Members Share Posted November 18, 2010 If I'm not mistaken, that box dates from the days when there was only a single amp in the unit and the monitor output is for an unpowered signal. You need to run that output to an amp and then your monitors unless you have a powered monitor. In that case, run to the first powered monitor and daisy chain to the next.

Members 72 bonne Posted November 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2010 Ok, you guys are full of useful info.I have another sunn powered mixer that we used to use. So just plug the sunn into the monitor output of the peavey and only run the monitors off the sunn, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 72 bonne Posted November 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2010 isnt this just for practice? why do you need discrete outputs? Yes mostly practice but I'm also trying to learn how to use this thing the correct way so I don't ruin it by doing something dumb. I don't have real intentions of running the monitors during our practice sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaBender Posted November 18, 2010 Members Share Posted November 18, 2010 For practice, you might be better off plugging your monitors into the main outputs so you can hear yourself sing. I assume there is no crowd to play to at rehearsal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agedhorse Posted November 19, 2010 Members Share Posted November 19, 2010 Don't use that, it's a TRS adapter and has no business in what you are trying to do. Use the SPEAKER outputs on the back. Since you are using it for practice, don't use the monitor function, use it as a "main" mixer for your monitors.
