How do I connect mic to mixer to powered speakers?
I have a 6-Channel Mixing Console (Alto S-6) and two Yorkville NX520P loudspeakers.
The speakers have a line input and output (XLR Connections). The mixing console has a bunch of connections. I have all sorts of cables (XLR to Phono), etc.
Not sure what goes to what?
Thanks!
On a very basic level...
Plug the mic into a channel on the desk using an XLR mic cable.
Set the preamp gain such that the channel signal is strong, but not clipping.
Leave the EQ flat, although (depending on what the mic is being used for) you might want to engage a HPF/lo-cut if the mixer has it (or just EQ out some lows).
Make sure the channel is assigned to the main outputs (not sure if such a small mixer would have this anyway).
Run the L+R main outputs of the mixer to the powered speakers using two XLR cables. Turn the speaker on, and I would probably set their operating level / input gain to unity, so you have the most control over the volume from the desk.
Bring the master fader and channel fader up to the appropriate desired levels.
