Hey, thanks for watching the channel!

I'm not sure where the stage monitor speaker outputs are to allow separate mix or equalization. Aux maybe ? BTW, best video on this unit. Waiting for mine to arrive. Wanting to master before a live rock show September 16th.

Yes.. you can use and it's recommended to use the aux out for Stage monitoring, my problem with that is, it's only a 1/4 phono out and I believe that's line level passive so you'd have to use powered monitors but it will give you the ability for a left/right plus aux level mix in the channels. Thanks for the compliment, if I can help more let me know also the other version of this mixer is pretty impressive... I believe it's the rpm1470

Great video Mike! I have the same mixer and still learning things about it. My question is, can you run to passive monitors from the "aux" output so the vocalists can have separate control of the total sound coming from mics and other mix? I'm thinking about running my two powered speakers facing the audience along with the two main output speakers as to have four for the house along with the two passive monitors which would be daisy chained from that "aux" out. Will that work or should I incorporate a sub into the loop to achieve the 4 house speaker setup?

The aux output (stereo rca) is a line level or passive output, so you could run it to a powered speaker or an Amp, but I don't believe it will run a passive speaker on it's own. However you could run a powered sub off of it and then a passive speaker off of the sub outs

Was rough to find good reviews so I appreciate this video. Looking for opinions. I’ve got an old school Yamaha em300 and it weighs more than I do. I’ve got a group that’s going to be doing small to medium clubs and I was looking to get the 1470 as a replacement since it’s newer and a bit smaller. I’d be looking to mic up the full band and was curious if you thought this would be sufficient enough with 4 or 5 8ohm 500w speakers

Hey thanks, the 1470 is pretty impressive more power than the 870... it is 4ohm stable so you could easily run 4 tops daisy chained together and from what I understand you can also run out of both powered outputs speakon and 1/4 phono although I've yet to try it... from there on your speaker output side you have 4 line level outputs 2 xlr and 2 1/4 phono which you can run to powered subs, tops or monitors and then off those you have a multitude of ways to run speaker options, however if your doing stage monitoring you may want to run off the aux output and use that channel adjustment to fade said performer into they're speaker as best you can... tons of options with these mixers...I personally love mine even though my road case set up is about 100lbs... hope this helps and thanks for watching 👀

Hi Mike, Thanks for getting back to me. Can you please give me point to point connections? On my stereo amp I have two RCA audio inputs that run through the AUX channel of the amp. I need to know what output connections on my RPM 870 goes to the amp. Can I do this AND power my passive PA speakers at the same time? Really appreciate your help.

@DJMikeJames

You should be able to run RCAs out to your stereo Amp off the RCA outs on the rpm870 or if you have passive outs on your stereo setup you can run those into rpm870 rca inputs and still be able to power passive speakers off rpm870 assuming you main input is running through the stereo setup... difficult to analyze without actually seeing what your doing, but I'll help in any way I can

Would this handle 2 double 15”s and 2 subwoofers?

@DJMikeJames

4 ай бұрын

Absolutely 💯! I believe, depending on how they're wired, your dual 15's are more than likely 8ohm along with your subs and this unit is 4ohm stable, so that shouldn't be an issue. However, your issue may be equalization of signal to your subs, unless they have built-in crossovers? Which is why I use powered subs, but I am curious as to how other people run this setup 🤔 so...lemme know! Thanks for watching 👀 and commenting

Speakon 2 conductor cables aren't balanced. Same as 1/4 inch. Also your speakers must support nl3 and nl4 speakons, or there is no balance because your speakers only have 2 conductors.

@DJMikeJames

Hmmmz, I guess I was mistaken... I assumed there was a 3 wire line in the speakon cables that were providing the balancing and I believe the board calls those outputs balanced as well, however I am using 3 pin balanced xlr's out of the balanced passive output to send signal to my powered subs... thanks for the comment

As far as I know, the dsp effects shouldn't affect your stereo 7/8 input side of your board and should only affect mic in/outputs 1-6... so you could run your music through mic inputs and be able to use dsp effects on those channels... I'm sure you have already, but also make sure you check your effects fader that it's turned up as well as color coordinating dsp effect knobs. I hope this helps 🙏

You can, but it's not recommended.

@@djaga215 I can see how my last sentence was confusing. It was worded badly. My response was only towards lugging that thing around and powered speakers which I took as 'effort'. The weight difference between powered speakers and the weight of the mixer is more than the mixer alone and the added effort in raising those speakers on stands is more than the lighter passive ones, and that's for certain types being just 12" cabs. With 15's its even worse. And if your using more than two, its worse yet. You are right about needing stands to reach the back of just about any room. I wasn't suggesting that.
