In this video we go through the basics of connecting an analog 10 channel audio mixer (Yamaha MG10) into a powered speaker (Yamaha DXR12). We then connect a microphone (Shure SM58) and headphone cable so we can connect a phone.

Starting with the basics, we like to always verify that we have a good power source at the venue before running any XLR or signal cable. Once the mixer is powered on, we check that the speaker also has a reliable power source.

Once the mixer and the speaker are powered on, we run the signal cable to connect the two. The speaker should be powered off while connecting the signal cable.

Then, you can connect your microphone and input sources, check their volume, and have an awesome event!
