Such a nice guy, talented, but as a rule of thumb, never plug any instrument or speaker in WHEN THE MIXER/POWER AMP IS ON.

[@straight8ight]

Well done. I just bought a new Behringer 2000 and needed some pointers real quick. You answered a lot of my questions. I basically have the same 15" peavey speakers and monitors. So thank you for your time and have a blessed holiday from Michigan.

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

Glad I could help!

[@bobcee501]

Make sure the cable is a speaker cable and not an instrument cable.

[@peterphelps7969]

Jason you might want to point our never go below the 4 Ohm threshold as you can burn out the amp. As you parallel / daisy chain the speakers the ohmage goes down so 2-8 Ohm speakers are 4 Ohms to the amp and 3 speakers are something like 2.6 ohms (8/ 3)

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

That is correct, thank you

[@captainbrianwilkinson7723]

Wires =1/4" Unbalanced Jack Leads, 4 pin = Speakon leads, (also many say 4 pin but only have a twin cable attached) also if its not been mentioned DO NOT go below 4 ohms as that is the stated min for this unit, (with wiring in parallel / diasy chain you are reducing the Impendence in half) or you will damaged the amp, do not plug in or unplug while powered on, not meaning to be picky but, its easy to miss certain important info out 🙂, but well done for doing the videos

[@ronaldblevins1450]

This guy Will have you blow your amp. Don't plug into lower ohm speakers. An 8 ohm amp will not handle 4 ohm speakers. Daisy chaining two 8 ohm speakers drops to 4 ohm, 2 16 ohm to 8 ohm ect.

[@mayorgajam356]

for safety, you have to turn off first the powered mixer before making connections to your speakers...but nice video `nyway...

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

Yes, turn off everything before you pull the plug and plug it in. Correct

[@johnharvey1693]

Could you show a frontal view, showing the best set up for my PMP 2000 I cant get it right, Thanks John.

[@theyorkpub1905]

cheers jason watched all 4 vids great very informative also just bought the 2000d for karaoke and disco

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

Is that mixer working well for you? I don't like the fact that they have the four pin connector inputs and not the 1/4" input.

[@martinndaini2106]

I like this machine is very best sound I love mostly in my life

[@JuanMartinez-os6bv]

I have an Alto live 802 mixer and 2 thump 12 speakers I’m trying to connect together but I can’t figure out how to connect them. Can you show me which way is best to connect it all together please 🙏🏽?

[@AceMartinov]

Thank you very much!

[@ryanmason5892]

Great informative vids Jason. I'm sorry for the stupid question but I have one of these mixers on the way and was wondering If I can daisy chain two main speakers and two monitors as well? Thanks.

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

Yes you can, being there are only two outputs, the top output is the monitor and the bottom is the main.

[@goderaj]

But you can also run it on stereo... correct? I just ordered this and there is a left and right main. The switch controls it. Maybe I'm misunderstanding... because I guess if you want to use a monitor then you'd have to use only one channel and daisy chain. I plan on using mine is a stereo configuration.

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

The Main is mono, you can make it stereo by using the bridge setting, it runs monitor and mains together, one volume

[@pyroguy5766]

Hello. I have a question…so I have the harbinger model of this same mixer which is the harbinger LP9800. Same exact setup to your model… I want to know how I would connect passive floor monitors to this… It has the main output on the back but if you could look at it quick and shoot me some advice it would definitely be appreciated. I was just gona daisy chain the two mains and leave the second main output for a monitor. But the harbinger has these different modes on the back like “main” and “bridge”…🤷‍♂️. I am not a sound guy so I’m trying to figure out. Thank you. Ur videos are sooooo informal.

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

You will have to daisy chain both the monitor and the mains, as far as the bridge, I think it's for when you want to use both amps to power the mains, not 100% sure, check the manual to see. thanks for watching

[@harrysanders9469]

Jason. Great video. One request. Can you add links to where to purchase items?

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

Most of the places I've bought these items are in Green Bay. But if people get stuff from Amazon and eBay, I would happily get the links if they are available. No problem

[@fredm661]

I want to run a floor monitor, does it have to be active?

[@johnlewis5774]

If you're only 2 speakers why not just run 2 cables one put of left one out of right. Why chain?

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

Because the Behringer only has 1 output for the main speakers

[@johnlewis5774]

@@JasonsAcousticWorkshop correct. But isn't the "monitor" output also the "left" output when only running 2 speakers? I have the identical pa and when I'm not running monitors I run 2 cables . One out of the main like u did here (right) and one out of the monitor (left) Have I been doing that wrong the whole time? 😟 Last thing I need to do is fry my pa lol

[@subodhgodbole7266]

@@johnlewis5774 YES, I have also the same question - can I use both outputs for 2 speakers? ,, I am a little confused with the (front) switch about setting speakers ( A/B, main, etc.)

[@goderaj]

I just ordered this mixer/ amp and it is my interpretation that you can run 2 cables and have a left and right stereo system. Then each EQ will control each individual channel. Ya just have to have the switch on the front set to main L - main R. At least that's the way I'm hoping it works.

[@bernardf.6337]

Thanks bro

[@michaelhutchinson3813]

how can you tell how many ohms its using?

[@subodhgodbole7266]

pls anybody can tell me, can we connect power speakers to this amp? how? is this amp have a "non-amplified line out' ?

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

No, you can only hook up passive speakers, not active speakers

[@herbiejackson1869]

thank you

Hi

[@zackd.9877]

Great vid! Im new to this and wondering how would you connect a subwoofer? Thanks!

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

You can't, there is no Aux out on this mixer

[@leapyearfiasco]

@@JasonsAcousticWorkshop Could you possibly either plug the subwoofer into the monitor output in the back or daisy chain a powered sub with the mains?

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

@@leapyearfiasco you can not plug a powered speaker into the outputs, it can cause damage to the mixer and/or speaker, as far as the subwoofer, if the subwoofer is not an active speaker, (powered speaker) then i guess you could, but I'm not sure how it would sound. You may not be able to get the bass sound you want.

[@steelpix]

Jason, can you also daisey chain for the monitors? What ohms is the Berringer rated at?

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

Yes, you can Daisy chain the monitors also. On the manual, it say that the maximum power output is 500watts x 2 at 8ohms and 1000watts x 2 at 4ohms. Most speakers have an impedence of 8 ohms.

[@yossa27]

hi jason,the 4 pin adapter where did you purchase it from,and is the cable 4 core.

I bought mine at Heids music in Green Bay Wi. If you're not in the Green Bay Area, you can purchase them on amazone or at your local music store.

How ya doing. Thanks for subscribing.

[@Damian81arg]

Hi Jason! If I select "Monitor" on the switch, how do I connect the speakers?

[@JasonsAcousticWorkshop]

connect the wire that's in the output in the back of the mixer and plug it in into the monitor, (usually speakers have an input and output) then connect another wire from the first speaker into the second speaker. 00:05:48

[@Damian81arg]

@@JasonsAcousticWorkshop thank you so much for answering! So I only conect one speaker wire on the back of the mixer, in the Output A? Then, I connect one speaker to the other (like Daisy chain)? I apologize for asking this now.

sure they work, these are my monitors which have a quarter inch input, but 4 pin connectors will do the same thing
