Post subject:  Need help to set up a Karaoke system
Here is a list of equipments I have:
1. Cavs 203 DVD player;
2. Vocopro DA X10 Mixer;
3. Samson stereo compressor;
4. BBE 482i Maximizer;
5. QSC 1080 Amp;
6. Pair JBL EON 15";
7. Vocopro UHF-388 mics.
At first, I only bought a DVD player, a Mixer; an amp; pair of speaker and mics. Then, later I bought a Maximizer and a compressor. After spent hours read manuals and post in this forum, I'm still not have a slice idea how to integrate the maximizer and the compressor into the system. I also bought 2 of insert cables, without knowing that the Vocopro DA X10 doesn't has insert points like other mixers.
Any help and/or advice is appreciated

Maximizer will go between your mixer & amp - mixer into BBE, BBE out into amp.  Compressor I answered in the other thread.  Not knowing the model compressor- Samson makes more than 1, it would need to have XLR ins/outs to work.  Hook the mix into the compressor & the compressor outs into the mixer.  Now doing this way won't work as well as if you had a good mixer with inserts.
Which model amp?  I haven't heard of a 1080 model from QSC?

Thanks Lon...You'r always have answer...Great...

The Samson compressor is a S.com Stereo Compressor, 2 channels compressor. Yes, it has XLR ins/outs. However, As I said in the last post, The Vocopro DA X-10 mixer has no insert inputs.
Here is the link http://www.vocopro.com/frm_product.html

Thanks..

Alright, i'm assuming you mean the JBL EON 1500 (non-powered) the EON 15 is the powered version.

Nice amp, SLIGHTLY underpowered for those speakers, they want about 450 watts per speaker into 8 ohms, the amp only pushes 360 watts per channel into 8 ohms.  Not a great difference & you probably won't have any problem.

The Samson compressor you must mean the C-Com.  Again, with the XLR, it will work, just not as good as it should with a mixer with inserts.  Run the mic into the input on the compressor & the output of the compressor to the mixer channel input.

Great...Again thanks ...

Connect outputs of the mic's receiver (XLR) to the compressor XLR inputs; Then the compressor XLR outs to the mixer's inputs. However, the Vocopro DA X-10 mixer doesn't has XLR inputs or outputs. All its inputs and outputs on the rear are RCA type connectors. The only 2 outputs are for recorder and pre-amp and inputs are for tape, DVD or ... The mic inputs are on the front and they are 1/4" mono jack (T,S). Is there a reason for them to work only with XLR inputs and outputs ?

Have you considered a better mixer?

Any recommendation for a new mixer ?
I just spent little over $300 for it. Vocopro said it's a best mixer of Vocopro. Well the more I learned the more I like to go with the expert's advice.
Thanks for your help

I swear by my Yamaha 16/6FX.....I promise you this mixer is twice as good as the VocoPro unit. Alot of peeps on here are partial to Makie mixers. You can't go wrong with either one, but I perfer the Yamaha.

I love and use the Yamaha EMX68s. It is a wonderful mixer...been using it for almost 5 years and nothing EVER goes wrong it! I'm using a pair of Yamaha S115IVS's and they are the same age and sound perfect! I've heard Mackie equipment and I'd put Yamaha up against it any day.
