I'm plugging in an active speaker to aux 3 of my fx16ii, but it doesn't work. I have it set up the same as aux 1 and 2 where I'm also running active speakers (for monitors). Am I missing something? cheers,

This is a VERY low level output designed for headphones and will not drive a cab directly, you'll need an amp, take it to line in of an amp and all should be fine (REMEMBER This is designed to drive stereo headphones so is a TRS Right,Left,Screen. If you plug it into a mono input you will probably be shorting out one side of the peavey's output so get a splitter.

Sub outs needs an active speaker.

An active speaker have a built in amplifier and preamplifier.

For a passive speaker it needs an amplifier.

That's basically normal actually...however it depends on which aux send you're using. If you use aux 1 for the effects, you can use the pre/post switch on the master aux 1 send to switch it to pst fader....now your mute switch should kill the effects as well. Aux 2 is good to use for monitors where you don't need to return them to the mixer.

Make sure that you have enable the main monitor volume at the end of the mixer. They are labeled AUX1 and AUX2 as well located under the last channel of the mixer. If those are on 0 your monitors won't work

I answered another post of this earlier. The AUX3 is strictly POST FADER... you MUST turn the channel sliding fader up to send signal to AUX 3. Also the AUX3 channel gain KNOB must be turned up. Also the AUX master gain KNOB must be turned up. Make sure your cablles are balanced TRS cables from the mixer to the powered speakers.

No there is no special cord. The aux you use for a monitor should be pre fader( that means the signal comes before the volume slider) turn the individual slider all the way down. Talk into the mike at the volume you would be singing at the loudest. Adjust the gain of that chanel up untill the clip light comes on. Now back it down so it dosent come on at your loudest. Now pick the aux you want to use. Turn it up 1/2 way, turn up the master aux send coresponding to the channel aux number 1/2 way you should get sound. If it's too loud turn it down if you need more turn it up. If you have any more questions, give me a call at the shop.

Make sure you are using BALANCED audio line to the speaker AND your mixer is powered from the SAME receptacle as this speaker. One MAY have to run an extension cord back to the mixer and othe equipment, but this must be done to reduce noise and also for equipment safety. Multiple recepatacles in a building have grounding issues that can generate noise or worse damage equipment due to ground loops. If you DJ mixer does NOT have balanced outputs, use DI boxes so you can use balanced lines to your speakers. Your cables will either be XLR or 1/4 inch TRS types, not just TS type.

ok, first thing will be the effects processor. look for the "aux sends" output jacks near the bottom center of the rear panel. run a 1/4 inch instrument cable from "aux send" 3 out into the input on the vocal processor, and run another from aux 4, if the effects processor has 2 inputs. then, from the vocal processors output, run 1/4 inch cables back into the "stereo returns" on the mixer, (located on the rear panel on the bottom, extreme left) 2 outputs per input, since its making stereo effects. so, if you ran just send 3 into the processor, you should have a left and right return instrument cables into the mixer for "stereo return" 3 (left and right). if your processor has 2 imputs, and you are using both "aux send" 3 and 4, then you will have to have a pair of cables going to each "stereo return" for 3 & 4. -to apply effects to a microphone(s), you would adjust the individual aux send levels for each channel you want to have effects, and you would have to ensure that the master aux sends and returns are also turned up..

ok, the snake is simple, each xlr (3 prong mic) connector on the snake is labeled, so, just plug each xlr jack into the corresponding channel on the board, and plug the first 2 1/4 inch ends of the snake into the "C/R out balanced" outputs on the board, located on the rear panel, up and to the left a bit.

at the stage end of the snake, ues a 1/4 inch instrument cable to copnnect the first 2 1/4 inch jacks on the snake to the left and right inputs of the crossover. then, from the crossover, connect the sub power amp to the "low" stereo outputs of the crossover with instrument cables, and connect the main speakers amp to the "high" stereo outputs of the crossover with instrument cables. if its an adjustable corssover, you will want to have it crossed over somewhere about 80-120 hz to allow only the lowest frequencies to the subs.

now, from the amps to the speakers, we ane going to have to use heavier 12-14 gague SPEAKER CABLES, instead of light gague instrument cables. hook the subs up to the stereo speaker outs of the sub amp with speaker cables, and do the same for the main speakers.

Simply put, the speakers can't be changed on Yamaha keyboards. If you have blown the speakers then put the sound through an amplifier or HIFI speaker system - but you must be able to have an AUX cable and AUX on the HIFI for this to work. Sometimes it can also work by use of composite cabling too, depends really on what audio equipment you have.
