(No! Soundsystem) Daft Punk Is Not Playing in My House

June 4, 2011 1:10 PM

What is the optimal wiring configuration to make the most of a very specific set of PA equipment?

I'll generally be using a single stereo (phono) source. How should I best hook up the following components?

- One Fender PX 2216D powered mixer (two sets of two parallel speaker output jacks);

- Two Sonic T-15 speakers (two parallel passive inputs and one biamp low input, each);

- Once Sonic T-118SUB (three unlabeled inputs).

Oh, could you please specify the best type of cord, too?

I'm pretty green; though, while I might not know the nomenclature, I think I could figure out a diagram.

Please MeFi mail me if you'd like a copy of the mixer's manual. Thanks!

Does the T-118SUB have a built-in crossover? (if you're not sure, a picture of the input jack panel should help us figure it out)

Are you hooking up a turntable? Check to see if you need a magnetic preamp (not sure if DJ style turntables need this)

Your speaker cables will be standard 1/4" cables - make sure you are using speaker cables (two wires of equal size) and not instrument cables (center wire with shield).

Hrm, unfortunately, that mixer doesn't look like it has a phono in; If your turntable only has a phono output, you'll need a phono preamp like a Behringer PP4400.

Send me the manual, email is in my profile.

My main interest is whether the amp is bridgable for your subwoofer.
