I want to use theMackie as a sub mixer into a powered "all in one" Peavy mixer, where do I come out of the Mackie into one of my powered mixer line inputs?

Take the main outputs into a stereo input (or a pair of mono inputs) on the Peavey - without knowing which Peavey I cannot tell you further info re set-up but as you'll be sending line level signal you'll need to back off the gain on the channels you input to on the Peavey

Run your speakers cables to your stereo "outs" (L/R) then run your sub off of one of your aux "outs" or sub group "outs" (make sure you assign channels to sub group out).

Some sort of feedback. Try grounding the input or connecting a source that is silent. If it still does it, time for the repair shop. This may be close to the schematic:

Scroll down to the link "Get Manual" and click to download a compressed file with two parts. One is the electronic crossover, the other is the power amp.

There is a mute control if signal is not present and also a gain limiter. This may take some troubleshooting by an experienced electronic tech. I would look for something wrong in these two parts of the circuit.

SOURCE: Im trying to connect a peavey kb300 with a mackie

The mixer is stereo and the amp is mono. The line level out of the mixer MAY overwhelm the KB2 regular inputs so try running the mixer into the PA input jack.

Two things... Use BALANCED LINES, either XLR or TRS... AND power the mixer from the same receptacle or power conditioner as the speakers and the sub.

Sorry, I have looked at the schematics and the TAPE IN jacks are mixed into the MAIN outs AFTER the insert jacks, so your subs will NOT receive signal via the insert from the TAPE IN jacks.
You could make a small passive mixer merging the TAPE/CD before going to the crossover. This would require some non-standard cabling.... The other option is to run the CD into a regular stereo channel rather than the TAPE IN jacks... then the CD will go through the insert/crossover and to the subs as you desire. The last option is to use the crossover at the MAIN outputs instead of as an insert... which would be the CONVENTIONAL way... use BALANCED cables wherever possible.

Just bought the mackie 1604 vlz3 mixer and cant figure out how to get sound to the main speakers, the speakers and amps are connected correctly

Simplest is to use the LR button at the bottom of the channel strips you want to send to the main mix. Make sure you set the gain for each channel in use so that the clip light just occasionally blinked then back off a fraction.
If you want to use sub channels assign the strip to the appropriate one 1/2 or 3/4 and the assign the sub to the main mix and bring the subs up.

I use 5 out of 6 aux. for monitor...That leaves only 1 aux. for delay/reverb. is there another way to hook up delay/reverb to mixer?...SR24-4 mackie mixer...

Why are you not using the inserts? Either assign a sub channel to your effects unit or do it at a channel level. In either case using the insert.

How can i get more volume on my onstage monitors thru my mackie 2404 vlz3 mixer or what is the proper way to connect the monitors

Without more information of your speakers and amps we can't really help you. The Mackie board puts out line-level signals and that should drive any connected amp or powered speaker to the full capability. Make sure you are using BALANCED interconnect lines either XLR or TRS cables. Use of TS unbalanced cables costs you 6 DB and also noise pickup. Make sure ALL your gear, amps, speakers etc are powered from a SINGLE receptacle or power conditioning module. Normally you will use the AUX outputs of the mixer by way of TRS cables or balanced lines in a snake to power amplifiers onstage which then connect to the stage monitors. If you have powered monitors the returns of the aux to the stage go to the powered monitors. A heavy duty extension cord brings power back from thee stage power to the mixer.

I use a Mackie 1604vlz board. I have Passive EV Speakers that I use a QSC power amp for. I want to add one Powered Subwoofer to this. How can I hook up without buying a crossover? Can I run out frome the...

You can, but I would not suggest it. Depending upon the input design of the powered sub, the highs might not get filtered out. Many subs assume that they are only receiving the lows. You are better off using a crossover between the mixer and the amp for highs and the powered sub for the lows. Please note that the crossover will give you much more control over the sound quality.

MAckie 1604 VLZ Pro Mixer, running QSC 1850 with jbl's from main outs. I would like to hook up powered subwoofers. What is the correct pathway? [email protected]

The best way is to use a two-way crossover between the mixer and the amplifiers. In your case, the low output from teh crossover would go to the powered subs, the highs to the QSC. Use the crossover adjustment to set the frequency crossover point to get the sound quality you require.

Remember that the subs are each MONO outputs. They do not have stereo outs. They can be used as pairs like 1-2 for stereo and those should PAN with the pan control at each channel assigned to a sub.

For mono's, the left channel is the one used.

Refer to the signal flow diagram for the Mackie mixers to analyze this. It probably is on page 28 of your manual.

For the subs, you can pan AT THE CHANNELS ASSIGNED between for instance sub1 and sub2. Note these work together as odds and evens.

Hooking up powerd monitors to a Mackie 1604 VLZ3

Are you sending the main mix to the monitors or are you giving them their own mix? What about using the sub groups, use 1 for your monitor send.
