Cara Pasang Mixer ke Equalizer, Xover, Power & Speaker | Seri Belajar Instalasi Sound System

Summary

In this video, the Rawan channel provides a step-by-step guide on how to connect various sound system components, including a mixer, equalizer, crossover, power amplifier, and speakers. The process involves using XLR and Akai connectors to link these devices, with specific attention to speaker types and settings, such as two-way stereo. The video also covers balancing and adjusting the sound frequencies for optimal performance, demonstrating how to handle both low and high frequencies through the crossover. This guide is perfect for small sound system installations, offering clear instructions for beginners.

Takeaways

• 😀 Learn how to connect the mixer, equalizer, crossover, power amplifier, and speakers for a sound system setup.
• 🎚️ The mixer has two types of connectors for stereo output: male XLR and Akai, while the equalizer uses female XLR connectors for input.
• 🔌 Use XLR cables to connect the mixer to the equalizer, ensuring a secure and quality connection.
• 🎛️ The equalizer has two output connectors: male XLR and Akai, which need to be connected to the crossover input using an XLR to XLR cable.
• 🔄 Set the crossover mode (2-way stereo, 3-way stereo, or 4-way mono) depending on your system requirements before connecting to the power amplifier.
• 🎵 Connect the crossover to the power amplifier using XLR cables to link the low-frequency and high-frequency channels properly.
• 📡 The power amplifier outputs to the speakers using speakon connectors, which should be matched with the speaker's speakon input.
• 🔊 Use separate channels on the amplifier: Channel A for the subwoofer (low frequencies) and Channel B for the SR15 speaker (high frequencies).
• ⚡ Connect the power cable to each device's terminal to ensure proper power distribution throughout the system.
• 🔍 Test the sound by playing music, adjusting the input levels, and checking the signal flow from the mixer to the equalizer, crossover, and amplifier.
• 🎶 Balance the output frequencies between low (subwoofer) and high (SR15 speaker) by adjusting the crossover's frequency settings (around 70-80 Hz).

Q & A

What is the first step in the sound system setup process as described in the video?

The first step is connecting the mixer to the equalizer. The mixer provides a stereo out with male XLR or Akai connectors, while the equalizer accepts female XLR or Akai connectors. In the video, the XLR connectors are chosen for the connection.

Why does the video choose to use XLR connectors instead of Akai connectors for the mixer-equalizer connection?

XLR connectors were chosen because they provide a secure and balanced connection, which is generally preferred for high-quality sound systems. XLR connectors are more commonly used in professional audio equipment.

How do you connect the equalizer to the crossover?

To connect the equalizer to the crossover, the video uses an XLR-to-XLR cable, where the male end connects to the equalizer's output and the female end connects to the crossover's input.

What feature does the crossover have that allows customization of the sound setup?

The crossover has a switch that lets you choose between different modes: two-way stereo, three-way stereo, or four-way mono. This feature allows you to adjust the configuration based on the specific needs of the sound system.

How is the output from the crossover connected to the power amplifier?

The output from the crossover is connected to the power amplifier using male XLR to female XLR cables. The crossover's output channels are linked to the power amplifier’s input channels for signal transfer.

What is the configuration for connecting the subwoofer and the SR15 speaker to the power amplifier?

The subwoofer is connected to channel A of the power amplifier, and the SR15 speaker is connected to channel B. The video specifically uses the crossover to send low frequencies to the subwoofer and high frequencies to the SR15.

What type of cable is used to connect the power amplifier to the speakers?

The power amplifier is connected to the speakers using speaker cables with SpeakOn connectors, which are used for secure and reliable connections in audio systems.

What role does the frequency crossover play in the sound system setup?

The frequency crossover divides the audio signal into different frequency ranges (low and high) and directs them to the appropriate speakers. For example, it sends low frequencies to the subwoofer and high frequencies to the SR15 speaker.

How is the crossover frequency between the low and high signals set in the video?

In the video, the crossover frequency is set around 70-80 Hz. This ensures that frequencies below this range are directed to the subwoofer (18-inch speaker), and frequencies above this range are handled by the SR15 speaker.

What is the final check after connecting all components in the system?

After connecting all components, the final check involves turning on each device (mixer, equalizer, crossover, and power amplifier), and playing a song to ensure the sound system is working properly. The speaker outputs are tested to confirm that the correct signals are sent to the subwoofer and SR15 speakers.
