Connecting Multiple Speakers/Subs
Connecting Multiple Speakers/Subs Posted on: 17.07.2013 by Coletta Krainer Im using a Numark Mixdeck, two powered subs (1 EV, 1 JBL), two powered tops, two unpowered Peavey SP15, and a QSC amp.Whe I run my tops thru my subs, the side with the EV sub is great, but the side with the JBL sub I can barely hear anything, especially out of the Top. I will post a pic in a sec. I must have something connected wrong, or the EV is whipping the JBL ass. Please help | |

| Catheryn Babadzhanov 19.07.2013 | you need to isolate the problem in the signal chain. Switch around the connections to see what works, what doesnt, and eventually identify the issue(s). |
| Rena Estabrook 18.07.2013 | If this is your regular PA system, you might want to look into a balanced distribution amp if your mixer only has one pair (left and right) of balanced outputs. Maybe there are crossovers / processors that perform the same task and more. |
| Charline Dye 18.07.2013 | I would assume the powered sub would have a crossover. Then it would be out put from sub to amp to passive speakers, or out put from sub to active (powered) speakers. But, we really can't help with out more details. |
| Margo Munshower 18.07.2013 | you need a crossover to send the mixer output to the diff amps set at diff frequencies. u need to go mixer output-> crossover -> then have the frequency set for ur tops and sub and passives. do NOT have your active speakers plugged into the amp, and an active speaker can be seen as having a built in amp |
| Charline Dye 18.07.2013 | Does the JBL sub have a crossover, and is it set correctly? |
| Cassie Sangermano 18.07.2013 | How are you connecting this all up?? If we knew how you connected it up we would have a better chance at diagnosing your problem. |
