Why use a Powered Mixer?

It used to be that if you needed a versatile sound system, you'd have to lug around a mixer, power amplifier, equalizer, effects processor, reverb unit and a bag full of cables to hook it all up. But thanks to the powered mixer, you can have it all without the hassle.

One-box solution

Everything you need is in one convenient unit -- a mixer to combine and balance your microphone and instrument sources, effects to add ambience to your sound, a power amplifier to drive your speakers and in some models drive monitors as well. And it's surprisingly compact -- just what you want when space can be in short supply at a gig where you often find yourself squeezed into a corner between the pool table and the dart board. Also, in many cases, buying one powered mixer can be much less expensive than buying the pieces separately.

Easy to set up and use

Not everyone needs or wants to be a live sound specialist. Setting up separate units requires careful level matching between components for optimum performance. Not to mention the potential for misplaced or faulty cables and a bunch of other technical problems. Extra time and extra work -- just what you don't need when you're rushing to set up for a gig. 

It's portable

Pick it up, carry it to where you're going to use it, and put it down. It's smaller and lighter than a comparable component system.

Just add microphones and speakers and you're ready to rock!
