Hi Y'all!

Newbie here, quick question, I'm wondering how to hook up my recently acquired vintage Sherwood S-7100A AM/FM reciever to my vintage Yamaha EM 150 mixing board. Originally, I was wondering if I could use the Sherwood as an amp for speakers in the mixing boards monitor outputs and still have the FM radio function. So does anybody have some good solid advice on the best set up for connecting the Sherwood to the Yamaha. I don't have top of the line speakers for the mains but the ones I do have are pretty decent, and I was going to try out some home stereo speakers that I got for free for the monitors, just as a test though until I get some decent monitor speakers. All speakers are 8 ohms. And if anbody decides to submit any connection "how to's", please do so in laymens terms, though I may be a audio geek at heart... my head, mouth, and understaning is still a bit on " the whatchamacallit goes to what thingamajiggy". Thanks in advance!
 
You just need a set of cables that will go from the mixer's line outputs to the receiver's aux inputs. Probably RCA on the receiver -- Likely 1/4" on the mixer. You aren't going to want TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) 1/4" -- You're going to want simple, unbalanced, 1/4" (tip-sleeve) to RCA (ring/pin).
 
That Sherwood reciever has a quoted power output of just 18W per chan.
Now for "domestic" listening that is quite adequate but I would doubt it is enough for monitors most of which require 50W per chan and often twice that.

You ask about the FM section? Does that mean you want to record it? If so the reciever surely has tape out sockets that can feed the desk, these will be RCA types as Massive has already mentioned.

It would seem best to go the other way . . . feed the receiver's line output into the yamaha.
