PLEASE PLEASE HELP! Need to set up sound system for work...

Question

The organization I work with just ordereda sound system with a 16 channel powered mixer, 2 Behringer amps( a 1500 and a 2500), and speakers. My question is, how do I plug it all in together?

Answer 1

It is not that difficult.  But why did they get a "powered mixer"?

A "powered mixer" has amplifiers built in - you don't need external amps with it.

The basic way to connect any sound system:

microphones and cd players are inputs to the mixer

the mixer outputs feed the amp inputs

the amp outputs connect to the speakers

You will need some 1/4 inch cables to connect the mixer to the amps and some speaker cables to connect the amps to the speakers.

The Behringer owners manuals will have sample hookups.

Please e-mail me if you need more detail.  I have been using Behringer equipment for years.  I have both of their power amps.

Answer 2

get rid of the amplifiers, then plug the speakers into the speaker outputs of the powered mixer.
