SOURCE: Hi. I have a Peavey

If the subwooofer has only a single input, then connect it to the Monitor output which does a mix, HOWEVER the level will NOT vary with the main sliders, but only with the monitor pots... This is NOT really practical for performances.

There is no mixer built in the unit, so you might make a simple resistive mixer taking the "Master out" left and right using 1K ohm resistor from each to a common point that feeds the subwoofer. Tie the grounds of the sub and mixer together.

FOR SYSTEM SAFETY always power the mixer and active speakers or any interconnnected equipment from the same receptacle or source.

SOURCE: Hi, I would to say thanks

You will need at least a 24 channel mixer to give you spare channels. You also need an active crossover and a snake. The advice you need is too much to include here so I am including some links:http://mixonline.com/live/FixIts/, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_sound_mixing, http://mixinglivesound.com/blog/tag/outdoor-concerts/,http://mixinglivesound.com/blog/, and http://www.scribd.com/doc/11435651/Beginners-Guide-to-Mixing-Sound. You may need more monitors than you are planning on and you might consider in ear monitoring.

SOURCE: i have just bought a peavey xr800f powered mixer

There are SEVERAL things to set. First is setting the EFX mix for those channels you want the effects to be active. Next, select the effect you want AND the TIME for the effect and FINALLY the amount of the effect output to go to the MAIN and MONITOR outputs. Also the effect disable button below the effects needs to be in the correct state. ALL of these have to be set for using the effects on the mics.

SOURCE: I had major static sounds from my yamaha stagepas

Chances are there is nothing wrong with the mixer. IF you accidentally turned on Phantom power, that would cause the problem. Phantom is ONLY used with condenser mics and a few DI boxes. Turning it on can create noise unless balanced lines are used everywhere.

Stagepas 300.Why does one of the mic volume controls, have to be at full level to hear anything through the speakers the others are OK ?

I would suspect the input jack on that channel is either bad or has a leg come loose from the circuit board.

Can I connect only one speaker to a yamaha emx 312 sc power mixer?

First it is certain that you would not want to plug both outputs of the stereo power amp into one speaker combining both channels into the same speaker. (see image from manual below - also link to manual)

Next I would be very concerned about only using the one side of the main amp out as it could cause an unbalanced load, or you could be driving the load into dead air connection and any of these conditions are destined to cause premature failure of the power amp.

Taking a quick scan of the manual for this unit, it appears what is pretty common to most powered mixers, hook up two matched speakers/loads to each chanel of the output.

Your best bet is to shed those monster cabs, there really is no need for them especially with this sized powered mixer, and get yourself a nice pair of full range cabs like EV1202;s, EV SX300's, or some nice 2 or 3 way 15" JBL's/

Just my opinon.

I have a yamaha stagepas 300 system. When I connected up the mixer to the power cord and switched on white smoke came from the air vent. What is this?

Hi,
Well, if the system does turns on, it could be just an OPAMP its one of various little 8-pin ic's that are in the pre-amp section that got fried, STAGEPASS YAMAHA Powered mixers runs with a switchmode power supply, if the power amp section has any problem the power supply does not turn on, if you can add further details like if it does turn on, the green light turns on, do you hear something in the speakers, the more the info the best i can help you.

Paul.

I have a stagepas 300 it turns on but wont produce sound

I once had this problem. Turns on but no sound. I tested the fan next to the power supply and it ran rough like it was worn out. I found the fan on eBay A5010L12S and replaced the fan. The Stagepas 300 came back to life. This fan blows toward the power supply and the other fan sucks air to create a circulation of air inside the mixer.

I had major static sounds from my yamaha stagepas 500. I plugged in an acoustic guitar into the mixer while running a keyboard and 2 vocal mics. I started getting crackling sounds. I changed the patch...

Peavey XR800F 8 channel - I can't get but very little sound to my big speakers. Help

Troubleshooting is always a "process of elimination." Have you tried hooking up your Peavey powered mixer to another set of speakers? How about connecting the speakers to another audio system? Your term "very little sound" could mean audio input problems, mixer/amp settings or failure and possibly speaker damage (internal passive crossovers). Please be more specific.
