How to connect subwoofer?

Posted on

Member Since: Dec 04, 2010

I have two FBT Maxx 4a's connected to a Behringer Xenyx 1222FX mixer, and the mixer is connected to a computer. Now I decided to purchase a new FBT ProMaxx 15Sa subwoofer to get more lows into the music.

But I'm a rookie at this stuff so I don't know where I should connect the subwoofer.

Here is a picture from FBT Maxx 4a's back panel:

And the mixer:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

(I know the mixer in the picture is 1222USB but it is nearly identical to my 1222FX.)

Output goes to input, output goes to input. It's that simple.

Yes, but which XLR output from the mixer do I choose?

I would say if your not using the Mon send, use that for the sub. But if you are using the Mon send for something else then just use the right main out. And then you can just pan for the sub.

Yeah, I'll try the mon out, but it seems that I need an XLR to TRS cable:

Yeah, sadly that is the case. But, using your sub in this fashion will allow you to pick what channels you want to go to the sub. Freeing up bandwidth,
