CSM8/12/16/24 Console Mixer
Applications: DJ Setup:
This setup shows one way of using the mixer and one stereo power amplifier to run the house speakers for a mobile DJ
setup. Two mono power amplifiers may be used in place of the one stereo amplifier.
Connect the components as follows:
(A) Connect a balanced or unbalanced signal cable between the mixer’s Left Balanced Output and the house power ampli-
fier’s Channel 1 Input. Connect the Right Balanced Output and the Channel 2 input in the same manner.
(B) Connect a speaker cable between the house power amplifier’s Channel 1 Outputs and the left house speakers’ Inputs.
Connect the Channel 2 Outputs to the right house speaker in the same manner.
(Note the optional use of a graphic equalizer in-line with the connections between the mixer and the power amplifier as shown below.)
