Hello,
I'm new to this forum so I'll introduce myself. I'm Sjors from holland.
to the point. I've recently bought a Behringer MX3282A mixing console (with generator), a Yamaha P3200 power amp and an additional Samson Servo Quad 4060 amplifier. However, I'm having great difficulties connecting the three/two. I'd like to connect the Behringer to one of the power amps and to the speakers. The manuals are not clear on this subject and I have no idea how to connect them. Could anyone help me out with this?

Nov 21, 2004 06:42 pm Thanks for the reply. Perhaps I didn't make it clear enough. Both power amps have jack and xlr inputs, but only bananaplug outputs. I can't connect them to the speakers, which only have jackplug inputs.
I wondered if I should loop the poweramps back to the mixing console, but the desk doesn't have bananainputs either.

Do not loop the output of the power amp to the mixer. Boom, smoke, fizzle, light show, big toaster oven!
Use the jack inputs to the amplifier. You may have to make cables from the output of the amp to the speakers.
Nov 22, 2004 08:02 pm hehehe, you convinced me not to loop it. I think I know the scheme now:
microphone --> mixer --> amp ?? amp --> speakers
microphone --> mixer --> monitors
the only thing I don't get is how to connect the speakers to two amps.

db, maybe you could post a small faq on how we can make our MF links to work through you?
instead of using the term "jack", use the term 1/4" (as in "quarter-inch"). that's more specific, and people will be able to understand you better.
