XR800f+- Connecting Active speakers

Post by ahussain99 » Fri Feb 24, 2017 12:52 pm

Hi


I have peavey Xr800F Plus mixer 1000w, would you recommend connecting active speakers to the main outs of this mixer. Also The mixer has a efx send but no return. Is there anyway i can hook up an external effects unit and use it with the mixers effects at the same time

The 1/4" master outputs can connect to active speakers.

To use external effects you use the effects send, and then return back to an unused channel as your effects return.

No risk if you are connecting to the Master SIGNAL output of the mixer. Never connect active speakers to the Master SPEAKER outputs on the back of any mixer.
