Q: I realize that my question isn't geared toward the home stereo's arena but from looking at the questions in the other catagories under the "Consumer Electronics" links I felt you guys would have a better clue. So, all I'm wondering is, if somebody here knows what the difference's between the Mackie 808"S" and 808"M" FR Series Powered Mixers are.

A: The 808M is mono and the 808S is stereo.

What are some good quality powered mixers out there?

Peavey, Behringer, Yamaha... it doesnt matter. Im in the market for a new one and need your valued opinions!!! Also the reasons why.
Thanks


A: Ok the guy with the first answer is a moron. Peavey make good ones, yamaha as well. Behringer are kinda low end and tend to crap out in one way or another down the road. The reasons are the same as for any other product, reliability, quality, life of product, etc.

Can I link a pc to a powered mixer system?

Help! We have a Yamaha powered mixer system (which I know nothing about!) I seem to remember someone saying you could plud a CD player into it and wondered if it was possible to link it to a pc so the pc's volume was coming through the sound system?


A: There are specific programs and hardware to make this really work well or you can hard wire one in as well. Use a mini to RCA adapter to a input to the mixer. You really need to talk to a pro though for anything better.

Can I run a Powered Speaker together with a Powered Mixer?

I have a Powered Speaker and a Powered Mixer can i use them both together? Also there is a lot of Noise that comes from the speaker when i am not playing any music. How do i get rid of that? Why is that noise there?


A: Hello Tonyboyy,

Yes You can plug your mixer in the powered speaker.
The connection is LINE OUT on the mixer to LINE IN on the speaker unit., It may be RCA or XLR (BETTER) wires.
Now, regarding that noise, check if the wall power outlet is REALLY grounded, its most important that ALL units be grounded.
