How To Setup A Sound System
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ค. 2024
- 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!

Jordan is the best on the Internet talking about this. Most other videos are so convoluted that I can't make heads or tails of them. Jordan's clear, calm delivery is a breath of fresh air. Thank you, sir!
Jordan is a dynamic teacher! You are so thorough for just a simple audio mixer hookup. Thank you!
Your are a good teacher, in fact the best I’ve seen on TH-cam so far
Thank you for the kind comment.
and he was great in the movie "Split".
@@kettnercreative Do i have to turn the line and master of the speaker to maximum and control the volume by the master fader???
I agree!
I agree
This is actually the mixer I own....I finally understand it better now
I needed this haha same mixer I got yesterday
Thank you Jordan for this calm , instructive lesson. Just got this mixer and was unsure of some things. Much appreciated !
Great job explaining in detail the finer points in setting up a sound system.
Super great information. I like that you get right to the point. no excess talking. Good Job!
Great teacher! Really organized and easy-to-follow presentation. Thank you!
Your last 2 videos were of great help. Thank you for the tutorials, much appreciated.
Glad you like them!
first time I've seen a decent demonstration of the difference between dynamic and condenser mics...great video..subbed !
This mixer is simple for me to set up...however I have learned a lot from your video
Incredibly thorough and patient explanation - thank you for sharing. Subscribed!
Great video Jordan. I did a couple of events setting up lighting and sound systems and everything you said was on point. I wanted to learn about using the mixer and you explained it very well. I would add bringing enough black tape to tape over any cables exposed to walking areas. Last thing you want is guests tripping over cables and them blaming the audio/video guy. Cheers
THE BEST explanation of setting up a sound system! Thank you!
Great video. Very clearly explained and so helpful. Thank you for your effort.
This was super useful. Learned a ton. I've been watching a lot of your videos. Thank you so much!
Brilliant! Very informative and clearly explained. Thank you.
This is an very well explained video.
As an experienced musician I picked up some really useful tips - thanks
Glad it was helpful!
This is the most instructive video I watched for a while. Thank you so much for all the informations shared.
Glad you liked it. We try to focus our videos 100% (as much as possible) on the meat and potatoes "what people actually want to know".
Great video for a beginner to understand how the sound system is connected!!! Thank you ⭐️
probably the best instructional video I have seen. Having said that i would massively appreciate some clarity on volume/frequency bands use on active speaker/mixing desk
You are a great teacher. Thanks for all your clear and informative videos.

So simply and clearly explained. Thanks, Doug!
Glad it was helpful!

Wow, calm and straightforward.I've learnt so much

Thanks for the information. This explains the problems I've been having with the same mixer and condenser mic setup. Problem resolved. Thanks.
Hey Jordan. Just wanted to let you know that you helped me in successfully connecting my Scarlett 2i2 to my studio monitor (where I was struggling to get the darn thing working). I must admit, I’m not very good when it comes to audio connections. But your video was quite easy to understand. So, “keep on keeping”! More power to you👍

Before I really knew what I was doing when it came to mixer boards, I always related "GAIN" to volume, but later realized its actually "Signal" and not volume. Explains alot when your trying to fix feedback lol ;)
100%.
OMG you are the BEST!!!! THANK YOU!!!
dope, thanks for explaining this
Nothing like a good experienced sound engineer could simplify the process of mixing.
Excellent teaching!
Very Comprehensive thanks a lot
Excellent video
I am so hooked on your videos. Very succinct and well produced. 🙌🏻Any suggestions for a small format digital mixer (10-12 channels) with built in effects that has 2 fx sends to the internal FX processor?
Excellent explanation
Thank you for the indepth info, great video!
My pleasure!
More than I was searching for, and just what I Needed
