When I bought my SxA100s, I had never seen or worked with "active speakers" and did not realize that they need some kind of pre amp. So, at a dinner music gig I plugged directly from the Ketron X1 into the EVs. I had to max out the EV's volume controls as well as turn the X1 all the way up to be heard in that kind of setting. Thank goodness this was not at a "dance" venue. I would never have gotten away with it. After posting a plea on this forum, Uncle Dave and others got me pointed in the right direction. In order to keep my gig rig as small as possibe I located and bought a Behringer MX 602A. This gives me the pre amped signal needed and all kinds of control.
When I use my Yamaha 9000 Pro (no onboard speakers for monitors), I take a Peavey Escort which acts as monitor-mixer-preamp etc.

DVJ,

Does the mixer have to be powered? I have a 6 channel Peavey powered "head" with EQ and effects controls. I guess I could use that without the power, eh? I also have a Tascam 424 4-track recording unit that I could use, do you think? Are you saying that you couldn't get the Sxa100's loud enough when you went directly from the X1? Thanks for helping me!

Angelo
