Thanks-you help with my Hypex Fusionamp 3-way project, an active ‘impersonation’ of the Qualio IQ speakers. You answered the question, re: if one of the amps’ 125w modules was enough for the 4ohm 90w woofer I already bought; with 40% headroom, no problemo. (my ‘Fusionamp 123’ has two, bridgable, Ncore, 125w amps and one 100w amp.)
Very informative video! Just wired a friend's house for home theater and considering speakers that have euroblock connectors. You mentioned you are using 18 gauge for 70 volt speaker. My question is could you connect 12awg or 14awg speaker wire to these euroblock connectors?
I have watched a lot of your videos and called in recently but did not get my question answered. Do the dynamic mics need any type of pre amp to get the gain up. I have wired many 70 volt sound systems and input volumes are great but you have to max out volume to get microphones to provide a good output volume. What can I do to improve this the output on the microphones. By the way, not using this only for announcements. It is used for live audiences similar to a church setting. It would be great to see more video content about the microphone set ups on 70 volt systems. Thank you
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your microphone. Here are a few things you can check: 1. Signal Lights: Your receiver might have signal lights that show if the microphone is communicating with the receiver. Make sure these lights are on. 2. Gain Controls: Try turning up any gain controls on your receiver to ensure you're getting a signal. 3. Receiver Output: Check the output connection of your receiver. The cable might be shorted or disconnected. If possible, replace it with a new one to see if that helps. 4. Transmitter Mute: Double-check that the transmitter isn't on "mute." If these steps don't resolve the issue, I recommend contacting the manufacturer of your wireless microphone for further technical support. They should be able to assist you more thoroughly. Best of luck, and I hope you get it working soon!
Hi there! The size of the speaker cable you need for a 1000-watt subwoofer speaker will depend on the length of speaker wire you need to run. Generally, 12 gauge wire should be adequate for runs up to 120 feet for 8-ohm speakers, and up to 60 feet for 4-ohm speakers. For longer runs, you might want to consider using 10 gauge wire. Hope this helps!
@@alchontai8351 Unfortunately, we're not familiar with the D'15 1000W subwoofers. We recommend checking the product manual to determine if they are 4 ohm or 8 ohm. If they are 8 ohm, then 12 gauge wire should be adequate for a length of 20 to 25 meters (65.6 to 82 feet). Thanks!

You need to download the "EON Connect" app on your mobile phone. You can download it from Google Play using the following link: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jbl.eonconnect&hl=en_US. Please note that these speakers do not support Bluetooth streaming. The app only allows for control via Bluetooth.
Thank you for pointing this out. We appreciate your feedback and understand the importance of demonstrating how to plug in equipment. We'll take this into consideration and include detailed instructions on how to connect devices in our future videos.
I have a question. Hopefully, you can provide an explanation. I am using the Debra 4 channel Wireless Microphone set. It includes the 4 headset bundle and the receiver hub. When we ampifly the volume to get more gain, there is a fairly loud white noise/static that is constant. It is for sure coming from the receiver, but we are not sure why. Could this be a channel frequency issue? Note: The 4 mics are not far from the receiver when in use. 15 feet tops.
Hi Gilbert, it could be a frequency issue, so if you have additional frequencies available, try switching to others. If the problem persists, it might be a gain issue causing the noise and/or distortion. If you're unable to resolve the issue, I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer for model-specific tech support. Best of luck!
Unfortunately, we do not currently do business outside of North America. I recommend searching for audio companies in your area. Thank you for your understanding.
Thanks for the video Nathan, I would like to ask something about a secondary utility that i´m looking for. The old wood house where we live is renovated but the upper floor is really loud and feels vibration and structure noise from our neighbors. We already changed the floor upstairs adding a layer of 4 cm and more diverse material of soundproof carpet but still not enough. do you think any of this products would help to improve to mask the incoming noise from above using this technology? sorry for the long question is just that my partner is losing her nerves everytime she hears the noise and we can´t leave the house. Cheers
Hi Diego, thank you for reaching out. In this case, sound masking might not be the best solution for reducing structural noise and vibrations from above. I recommend consulting with an acoustical engineer to find more effective ways to mitigate these issues. Best of luck!
I ran into a sound system installation with a functionally similar setup like this but I don't think this is the right way to go. The solution here does restrict the sub to below the crossover point. However, the mains will try to reproduce all of the program material, including the lows the subwoofer is doing since the input signal to the amplifier is direct form the mixer and not going through a crossover (unless the amplifier has a built-in crossover). In most cases, the "tops" are not designed for reproducing the low frequencies, which the subwoofer can handle much more efficiently. I feel the more standard solution is for the main outputs (line level) of the mixer be connected to the inputs of the subwoofer (all the active subwoofers I have ran into have a stereo pair of inputs). Set the desired crossover frequency on the subwoofer's crossover and level of subwoofer volume. Then take a separate pair of XLR cables and connect the subwoofer's high bypass outs and connect these cables to the input of the power amp and connect the speaker cables from the amp to the non-powered main speakers. Now you have the line level output of the mixer split with the lows going to the subwoofer and the rest to the power amp hence the non-powered main speakers. One consideration is the sequence of powering on and off the system. I believe the proper power on sequence is mixer->subwoofer->power amp. The power off sequence would be the opposite. This is the solution I came up with when I ran into a setup which was functionally the same as the solution presented here. The system became much clearer after I changed it to what is described above. If I am totally missing the point here, please let me know!
I have 4 speakers. 600w 8ohm per speaker. My power amp can handle 600w @4ohm per channel. Planning to connect 2 speaker for each channel from power amp using speak on. What is the correct setting for my power amp, parallel or stereo? Hope you answer. Thank you very much.
Unfortunately, without knowing more about your power amplifier, I would recommend using the stereo setting. I also suggest consulting the amplifier's manual for specific settings or recommendations. I hope this helps!
Yes, you can definitely have a separate mixer and amplifier in your audio system instead of using a mixer/amplifier combo. In fact, many professional audio setups prefer separate components for greater flexibility and control.
Thanks for your question! The Pure Resonance Audio LA21000 amplifier might be a viable option for you. For further assistance or to discuss your specific needs, feel free to contact us at sales@proacoustics.com or (888) 256-4112. We also recommend that you reach out to the manufacturer of your speakers for their recommended amplification.
Yes, depending on the specific mixer amplifier, you can connect an external amplifier, typically using the "line out" from the mixer/amp combo and connecting it to the input of your external amplifier. This setup can help provide additional power for your system.
No, you should not connect a powered subwoofer directly to a passive speaker that is connected to an amplifier. Powered subwoofers have their own built-in amplifiers and should be connected separately from the passive speakers.
Thanks for your comment! Your calculation sounds good. Providing 1500 watts for a system with (2) speakers that recommend 300 to 600 watts would give you a healthy 10-20% headroom. Well thought out!
Thank you for your comment! This video specifically focuses on 70-volt applications, which use a different calculation method compared to impedance in ohms.
For pendant speakers, a height of 9' to 12' is typically recommended for most setups. In larger spaces like gymnasiums, the height may need to be adjusted higher for optimal sound distribution.
Connecting a 70V speaker to a regular power amp is not recommended unless the speaker has a low impedance bypass switch, usually set at 8 or 16 ohms. Without this switch, the mismatch in impedance can damage your equipment or affect sound quality negatively.
Finding a hidden short in a complex setup like yours can be challenging, especially with multiple speakers and soldered joints over a long distance. Here are some steps you can take: 1. Visual Inspection: Start by visually inspecting the wiring path for any obvious signs of damage or exposed wires. 2. Use a Multimeter: Test each soldered joint and section of wire with a multimeter to check for continuity and potential shorts. 3. Segment Testing: Divide the wiring into manageable segments and test each segment individually to isolate the location of the short. 4. Check Grounding: Ensure that all speakers and equipment are properly grounded to prevent electrical issues that could lead to shorts. 5. Professional Assistance: If you're unable to locate the short or if you find it to be a complex issue, consider consulting with a professional audio technician or an electrician who has experience in troubleshooting such setups. Best of luck in resolving the issue!
Unfortunately I am the audio designer. I do 95% 8 ohm systems but I know I can’t use DC resistance because of the transformers. Was. Hoping you knew of a tool / proper meter.
@@duanerandleman2456I apologize, unfortunately, we don't currently have any information on tools or methods for measuring impedance in transformer-based systems. However, If you find any, feel free to share them here!
Hi I have two questions 1 how do I also connect sub woofers on one zone of that regulator or volume switch. 2 how can I run it that one zone can be reduced from other zones and use it for my self example if I want to use the speakers on zone 3 for myself completely and I switched it of from the amplifier being the source and play music with my phone later can switch on when am done
I'll do my best to answer both of your questions. 1. The volume controls on the zone regulator are specific to each zone and are assigned to one amplifier. You can connect the subwoofer to the desired zone just like you would connect any 70V speaker. 2. If you require the ability to assign the subwoofer to specific zones and control it independently, you would need a matrixing multi-zone amplifier setup. I recommend reaching out to our sales engineers, who can provide further guidance if needed. Feel free to contact us at (888) 256-4112 or email sales@proacoustics.com.
hello ive got a question i dont know if its silly but, is it possible to connect an active subwoofers line output into an amplififers line input so i can use the subs input for music and the amps out for passive speakers.
Absolutely. If your active subwoofer has a line level output, you can connect it to the input of a pro audio amplifier. This way, you can use the sub's input for music and the amplifier's output to drive passive speakers.
I recommend reaching out to Crown's technical support team about the input plugs you need for your Crown CDi DriveCore 2/1200 and CDi DriveCore 2/1200 BL. They can refer you to the specific parts you need. You can contact them at 844-776-4899 or visit their support page at www.crownaudio.com/support/tech_support for assistance. Hope that helps!
I am wondering about big music festivals such as Ultra Music Festival, Lost Lands, Tomorrowland... what kind of speakers they use for huge spaces like that, Powered or Passive speakers?
It could be a combination of either or both, depending on the needs. For indoor use, either speaker type would suffice, but for outdoor use, passive speakers may be more suitable due to their weather-resistant design.
In this video, Nathan is pointing to the XLR plug labeled "THRU," which is for output, whereas the other two 1/4" / XLR combo jacks are for input. It's an easy mix-up, but once you understand the labeling, it becomes clearer. Hope that helps clarify things!
If your audio snake has return channels that feature female XLR connectors on the stage box end, you can use them to connect to a powered speaker. Many powered speaker models can serve as stage monitors. To set this up, connect one end of your snake to your mixer's auxiliary output and the other end to the powered speaker's input using the female XLR connectors.
Have LOTS of speakers: 3 in ceiling in GREAT ROOm; The above speakers are wired to a PATCH PANEL #1 with Banana Plug receptacles The 6 banana plugs are inserted into SPRING CLIPS on the AMPLIFIER (Sony: FM STEREO/FM-AM RECEIVER STR-K750P) Sony STR-K750P AV receiver 5.1 channel 575 W Also have: 4 speakers in OUTDOOR ceiling 2 in ceiling in OFFICE 2 in ceiling in KITCHEN; The above speakers are wired to a PATCH PANEL #2 with Banana Plug receptacles These 8 speakers have 16 banana plug receptacles that need to be wire to the AMPLIFIER The ISSUE is LOTS of banana plugs to bare wires trying to be inserted into the AMPLIFIER Spring Clips.

I stumbled across this video while searching for a solution for my issue. Maybe you can help me with it. I have an AKG Ultra High Frequency wireless mic set up. It works fine, but when I turn the microphone off at the microphone, there is all kinds of static and popping going through the speakers. Also, if I leave the microphone on for very long (over 2 minutes) the sound no longer transmit (we cannot hear it through the speakers). Once I turn the microphone off (at the mic) I get the static and popping noise again. I've changed batteries in the mic, so that's not the issue. Any idea as to what is causing this popping noise?
Hey there! We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing these issues, we know how frustrating it can be.

I have a question on possibilities of adding a reverb into that mic signal, I’m looking to add reverb onto a system that is using a monaco 900pa amplifier and a bunch of speakers im guessing they are 70v speakers, and a microphone which fortunately is using an xlr connector, is there an easy way to add reverb to that signal without having to get a new amplifier that have built in effects, maybe some sorry of Pedal like reverb that takes the microphone signal adds reverb than goes into the microphone xlr input on the amplifier?
Yes, it's possible to add reverb to your microphone signal without changing your amplifier setup. In your case, you would connect your microphone to the input of the effects processor, then connect the output of the effects processor to the mic input of your Monacor 900 amplifier. Just ensure the effects processor has the necessary XLR connections to avoid needing additional adapters for 1/4" inputs/outputs.
Very nice explanation thank you. I have a shire transmitter with countryman headset and getting an intermittent choppiness on the pastors mic. I will go look at these things this week see if it helps. We are located near the police station.
