[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 98706, member: 272"] Re: Amateur Speaker fixing hour Are they self-powered speakers? (there is an amplifier built into the back of the speaker cabinets themselves as opposed to a separate rackmount type unit) If so would there be a chance that the mixer had it's own power-amp built into it and not just the normal line-level outputs (i.e. a "powered mixer" -there are many that look like actual consoles instead of the box type we've all seen before) If that was the case, then plugging a speaker-level power amplifier type output into a line-level input self powered speaker would cause the very quick death of the speakers like you described! I have witnessed this many times with speaker systems installed in bars and pubs. I've even seen 1/4" to XLR adapters used to accomplish it! [/QUOTE]
