Re: Passive mixer with powered speakers, or powered mixer with passive speakers?

Unlike others here, I think you can probably do it as you're not asking for microphones or anything before the mixer. Lets say you have a budget of £600 You can buy Soundking speakers or similar (Alto had a recommendation in another thread today) for around £450 or less. Stands will cost around £40 and cables under £20 if you can solder the connectors yourself. That leaves you £90 for the mixer. You won't get A&H standard for that kind of price but the bottom of the Yamaha MG range comes in about that price and there are Soundcrafts even cheaper.

Of course, if you really want value for money you need to look at used gear but I suspect that a school will insist on new.

James.
