Powered to Passive? Mixer Change Over
Posted on: 04.09.2013 by Andres Barrar
Well im new to this community but i still hope to find help from someone who may have had this idea before and if it proved successful or not, basically i have a powered mixer but have misplaced the power supply and unable to find the replacement on favoured sites i.e. ebay etc... i am looking to find out if i would be able to change a powered mixer to a passive mixer and obviously the mixer output would be amplified using a Power Amp so there would be no reason to have it powered, in my theory anyway, any help or directions to help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You !

I was going to reply with something similar due to the way the post is written. But I believe he means Powered Desk, as in with a Amplifier Built in, as opposed to running a mixer without any power source.

04.09.2013		I should have said, i do not have the power supply for the mixer this is why i want to change it, but i still wanted to know if it would work.

Also it would be

Source(mp3/laptop/etc...) > Mixer > Amp > Speakers

i was believeing of just being as simple to bypass the power switch, but i have been told i cannot do what i want as it is a DJ mixer.

if it helps the mixer is Numark DM 1001 EX

04.09.2013		You are just replacing the mixer correct ?

If so, yes, just run your New Mixer > Amplifier > Speakers instead of using the Power Mixers' outputs.
