You will need an amp for extracting more power outta your speakers...Also you will have better control on bass, treble and other settings...So if you want to feel the sound you might need an amp....and a mixer of course if you wanna mix it up!

I am in a ukulele ensemble of 8. We all have electric pick ups in our ukes. what is the best way to connect to one amplifier, eg; using a mixer ?

It can plug into a guitar amp or PA system both. If you use an amp, you could hear yourself alone through that, then output jack "power amp out" to PA or put a mic in front of it from the PA. If you don't use an amp, it can plug into the PA but, you would only hear the 8 pieces together and have no way to hear yourself seperately.

Mixer to P.A. system connection

You'll want to use the Stereo Out connections at the top right. You might need adapters to plug into whatever system you're trying to use. Also note that this mixer does not provide power, so the speakers you're using have to be self-powered or be driven by a separate amplifier. You would then plug the Stereo Out connections into the INPUTs of the amplifier.

I dont know how to connect my gem sound trf152 speakers

Looks like it takes regular home theatre speaker wire. If this is a powered speaker (like a JBL eon g2), then all you need is a passive mixer, and connect the speakers to the mixer. If this is not a powered (amplified) speaker, then you will need an amplifier to boost the sound source and drive the speakers, so you would connect the mixer to the amplifier, then the amp outs to the speakers.

Can i go straight out of the pre out on my fender frontman into a powered mixer pa system

yes,, Pre means before powered or amplified ,, so yes you can do this to a powered mixer, just be sure that the power is off before making any connections,, without the ground of the rca cable touching , the blast to the speakers can invert the cone !!

What do I need to hook up to our church pa system

Connection all depends on what type PA system you have. Here are the rules: Power this device from the SAME receptacle your mixer is powered by, even if it means running an extension cord. Use ONLY a balanced line from the mixer... either TRS cable or XLR cable.

How do I attach power amp to 1832 mixer

There are a number of configurations for a mixer like the 1832, the most common are PA system and Recording system. There are Main output jacks which carry the mix as summed in the main faders. These in a PA system would feed the pa amplifiers which drive the house speaker system for the audience. These connectors are XLR 3 pin type on the rear, intended for professional pa amplifiers which use balanced +4dbv line input level. Amplifier which have 3 pin XLR connectors for input signals can accept that high level signal. For home style HiFi amplifiers, the signal level is nominally -10DBv and balanced or unbalanced signal lines with 1/4in diameter phone plugs which are connected to the mixer by way of a second set of Main output connectors which are 1/4in phone jacks. Use whichever amplifier input level your amp has.
If you are not using it as a main PA house mixer, but using it for recording, the main output connectors go to a 2 channel recorder or computer sound card recorder. The power amp and your monitor speakers are connected to the connectors labeled "Control Room" (CTRL Rm). These output are useful for recording because the signal through the mixer can be monitored from several buses, Solo, main mix, selected by buttons provided. The buttons only affect the signal heard through the control room monitors, and not the main output which only sees the main mix so selecting "solo" does not interrupt the signal going to the recorder while the engineer in the control can be checking other signal paths through the board.

How to connect microphone to Yamaha RX-V365 as a PA system.

Home-theatre receivers don't have microphone inputs. If you want to use the receiver as an amplifier in PA system, you need to use some kind of mic pre-amp or a mixer with mic inputs.
For PA mixer is needed anyway almost every time and all mixers have at least one mic input (with a pre-amp). Mixers have line-level output(s), which you can connect to the analog input of receiver.
Using receiver as an amp in PA has advantage that you have 5 channel amp. When using high sensitive PA speakers (as oposed to less sensitive Hi-fi home speakers), you can get good performance with the power rating of receiver. You could even use 2 separate channels for subwoofers and 2 channels for satelite speakers - but for that you would need a receiver with 5.1 analog inputs and special device called crossover which would divide the output from mixer into low-frequency signal and high-frequency signal which you would then connect to the front and rear analog inputs. But with RX-V365 you can use only 2 channels with analog input

I have purchased a beheringer 1832fx usb mixer and I have connected my computer to my mixer that has a usb interface on the back in order to play my backing tracks, music, via my computer, and when I turn...

The main mix controls ALL outputs simultaneously.

The mic channels are controlled individually by the sliders.

It sounds like you are on the verge of feedback where the mics are picking up the PA speakers.

Make sure you have loaded the support SW and make sure you have disabled ECHO as the mics may be looping back through the computer causing the rattle.
