Mixers and Speakers
#960355 - 23/12/11 12:00 AM

Say I have a Allen and Heath ZED-22fx mixing board and just ordered 2 powered 18" seismic audio sub-woofers. Well the Mixing Board does not have any sub outs or sliders. It has 3 Aux outs and 2 main outs. So can i run the subs out of a aux out 3 the monitors out of aux out 1 and 2 and the main out of the mains? Or will sub frequencies not travel through the aux out? How should I hook up the sub-woofers? All the help will be appreciated thanks in advance!

Here is the mixer:

Buy a crossover. Put it in the same rack as your power amp. It splits the signal, and sends lows to the subs, and the rest to your tops...

so buy this:
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/dod-sr835-2-way-or-3-way-crossove r/150123000000000

and then hook it up to the aux out, and then from the out on the unit send directly to the speakers or can i go through the snake(thats how the speakers are being run from the board through the snake right now).

Go from your main L & R out into the crossover.

Save the aux's for monitor mixes
