Was told that i cannot use a standard snake for this, but must have a powered snake. Is there any way you can configure this arrangement so that I DON'T need to purchase an expensive powered snake -- or is that essential? Thanx.

Usually active monitors have separate AC cable. If you tell us precisely what gear is in question, perhaps I can provide more detailed answer.

Hi Ivan: Mackie 808s powered mixer out from TRS/1/4" monitor out into un-powered snake return to two Peavey PV115 PM powered 2-way stage monitors and one powered Crate monitor (all daisy chained) using standard instrument cable to connect the monitors and coming out from the Mackie. Yes, all the monitors have independent, separate AC cords. -- Tim You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I talked to Mackie people and the monitor out on the 808s mixer is a balanced signal that should work with powered monitors through a standard snake. In fact, when we don't need a snake the monitors work fine from the mon out. I don't get what happens when we introduce the snake You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
