Possibly not one for this forum / site, but I don't really want to have to join another forum so I thought I'd ask here first!
I'm completely new to the wonderful world of mixing and outputting to anything. I've ben given a Soundcraft Spirit Folio F1 mixing desk and a Laney Theatre 100T X4 PA system to use with my band. These have been successfully used together by the previous owner, but I don't know what their setup was. For my band, my guess is we'll be using it to drive 2-3 mics and the keyboard (guitars will go through their own amps) and as the PA has 4 inputs, that should be enough. without having to use the mixing desk.
However if I want to use the mixing desk (6 mic / 8 total inputs), then I have a problem. I haven't a clue how to use any of this stuff, and what I'm currently struggling with (and it's basic, so I'll apologise now!) is how to connect the mixing desk to the PA amp! The mixing desk has stereo output (2 XLR outputs - 1L and 1R) however the PA only has 1 input per channel.
Am I supposed to plug each XLR output into a separate input channel on the PA amp? Or should the PA amp have a stereo input on each channel?
Hell, am I even talking the right language?!?!
Any guidance would be appreciated!
