Some time ago, I sold my Crane Song Avocet (which was awesome). I was doing less and less music work and more and more electronics, so it was time to simplify. I built a very simple completely passive monitor controller with just the bare minimum features. It was just for me, so it was not pretty but functional. It has a stepped attenuator, polarity, L& R mutes and Mono.
 

I am trying to use passive speakers as monitors. (I don't have anymore powered speakers). Would it be okay to plug passive speakers into a powered mixer and plug that powered mixer into the monitor out of a non-powered mixer. I already have 2 powered speakers for my 2 main speakers.

Powered mixer - Pyle PMX840BT
Non powered mixer - Mackie profx16v2

Thanks

I have my Emu 1820M optical output going into an Onkyo TX-SR500 reciever,
out to two Sony SS-B3000 3-Way bookshelf speakers.

The crossover is not specified in specs.

What do you think of the changes between ITB and OTB, and the demonstration?

Do you think this is a the best way to allow us to hear an A/B ?

pluses and minuses?

i pretty much get what's good about itb, . but what are the drawbacks of passive summing networks ... ? why is passive summing not a good thing?

is it possible to change levels between -10 and +4 with transformers?

Particularity on the Pulse Techniques EQP 1A3 . Not interested in other clones.
I'm addicted to Pultec's this month and want to know how sweet the high-endis on the SS compared to the tube version?

I know you are looking for opinions on these or have some if you are here.

Brain wave just started and I haven't even thought through it much so here's to thinking out loud:

The PB8 series are 8×2 Passive summing Mixers utilizing the highest quality components in a cost effective package. Used in conjunction with a quality mic preamp, the unit will yield warm and open mixes.

Hey guys I'm wondering how to record bass using a passive DI box and a mic so that I can have 2 signals going into Pro Tools. I've never recorded with two signals before so I'm not real clear on how to hook everything up.

I'm using an Mbox with two inputs. So for one signal I go from the mic to the Mbox right?
