. 5603 Answers SOURCE: Passive loudspeakers are connected to the two 'Speakon' connectors on the back of the unit. BUY GOOD cables for your speakers!!!! Whatever you do don't have a speaker line come loose while driving audio out!!! You will arc- out the rear-most power amp. I know, I repaired two of these now with the problem.
Read/download Behringer's audio mixers, dj equipments, guitar amplifiers, power amplifiers manual and troubleshooting guide.
Connect the recording device to either the 'tape OUT' RCA jacks or either of the pairs of MAIN out TRS jacks. Set the slide switch for the MAIN L/MAIN R (upper position) leave this in this position unless you understand what the other positions are for to avoid damage. You will NOT need the other positions. Further: Power ALL interconnect devices from the SAME receptacle source to avoid ground loops and possible damage.
YOUR passive speakers should be rated at least 300 Watts RMS continuos power handling or 600 Watts peaks. Drive consumer stereo speakers with this and you will smoke the speakers and MAYBE blow the amp. This is a powerful amplifier and if you don't have at least 15 inch speakers you MUST really hold down the volume lest you blow the speakers. Above all read the manual. Yes, it is a bit hard to understand.
If you have a problem you can contact me by email for a bit of help. I have wo of these I have been using at venues now. Posted on Apr 24, 2010.
