Hi,

I have a Yamaha mg82cx mixer and I want connect my passive speakers in order to use microphone.

I noticed that speakers have a strange cable (i don't know the name) because they have no connectors...



How can I do to connect speakers to the mixer? Is there any adapter which can work?

Thanks

You need to buy connectors and attach them. They cost £3 each and it is very easy to make it yourself with some simple tools. I did it many times

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you need an external amplifier to boost the audio signal up to a sufficient level to power the speakers?

If your mixer doesn't have an amp inside then yes you will need one.

I don't know if the Yamaha mg82cx has a built in amp. How can I see that?

I'm reading the manual downloaded from Yamaha website. You need a power amp + passive speakers or powered speakers, so I guess the mg82cx does not have a built in amp.

I'm reading here that mg82cx has "High-performance mic preamps". Can this mean anything?

Yeah, mixers have preamp for each mic channel, so you can set different volumes with gain knobs and faders. You need a "main amp" to boost the signal to the speakers.
Usually powered mixers are bigger because they have the built in amp. Your model is a passive one.

In the first picture there are some connectors to the right of the speakers attached. Do you have a Aux in on your unit that powers speakers? You could then connect the mixer to the unit that has speakers attached to and hear your microphone that way.

I know what you mean, I've already done what you said and it works, but the problem is if I want to play live... I can't take the unit with me.

Thanks for the help

Hmm for live purposes you would definitely need a strong PA system. Also it has to be active (built in amplifier in the speakers), then you just connect your mixer to them. Something like this : http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/produ...stem?sku=620523

The only solution would be to buy a power amp. Then you can make a chain:

mixer>poweramp>speakers

if you use it for some gigs, the quality of sound wouldn't be that important, so I guess some cheap Behringer unit could do the job.
