Questions and answers
How do I connect the mixer to a crown power amp?
To connect the Tapco BLEND6 mixer to a Crown power amp:
1. Make all other connections to the mixer first, including microphones, instruments, and any external processors.
2. Turn all power switches off.
3. Connect the MAIN OUT jacks of the BLEND6 mixer to the input of the Crown power amp using appropriate cables (e.g., 1/4" TRS or XLR, depending on the amp's input).
4. Make sure the MAIN MIX control on the mixer is turned down.
5. Turn on all system components, leaving the Crown power amp's power switch for last.
6. Slowly turn up the MAIN MIX control to set the desired output level.
This ensures a proper signal flow and prevents sudden loud noises or potential damage.
