Just run two XLR cables (mic cables) from the Yamaha's XLR output jacks to the Behringers XLR input jacks. You could hook your laptop up to your Yamaha by using a simple cable adapter from the laptops headphone jack to either of the Yamaha's stereo RCA inputs (channels 9/10 or 11/12). That would be the easiest way. A better way might be to use a USB interface and bypass your laptops soundcard entirely.

If you mean one male and one female then yes Mic cables have two different ends. You can get adapter cables that have XLR on one end (either male or female) and T/R/S 1/4" on the other if that's what you need. There are also just adapters that would convert a regular XLR to 1/4" T/R/S. Be careful if you go the second route as a vast majority of these adapters are XLR to just a T/S on the 1/4" end. I usually just make my own cables to suite my applications, it makes life much easier for me.

I thought the end of a mic cable xlr that plugs into the mic was different then the end that plugs into the mixer? But from what I understood you to say was that I could just use a regular mic. cable to go from amp. to mixer correct?

Yes you can go from the mixer to amp with a standard mic cable with XLR ends on each end. _________________ LIKE Lonman on Facebook - Lonman Productions Karaoke & my main site via my profile!

Like said if you do not know how to rewire the Speakon end for bridge mode, then it will be a whole lot easier just using the binding posts with the banana plug to 1/4" adapter. In a bridge mode you can ONLY run 2 8 ohm speakers maximum - as this will drop the ohms to 4 ohms which is the maximum load for the amp in bridge mode.
I wouldn't daisy chain the speakers, just get 2 of the adapters & plug them in piggy back to the amp then run to each speaker individually from the amp. Unless you have a distance factor, I prefer not to daisy chain.
Now if you know how to rewire for a series/parallel connection, you could hook more speakers up, but a lot more hassle than sometimes worth. _________________ LIKE Lonman on Facebook - Lonman Productions Karaoke & my main site via my profile!

Yes one plugs into the amp via the banana plug, the other plugs into the back of the banana plug itself that is in the amp. I do it all the time. _________________ LIKE Lonman on Facebook - Lonman Productions Karaoke & my main site via my profile!

The PLUG itself will plug into the other plug. When you plug it into the amp via the binding posts, the very top of the plug is another set of holes that another banana plug will plug into. Don't look at the cable or the 1/4" end. The plug will plug into the top of the plug.

Quote: someone stated that I couldn`t use a speakon to 1/4" adapter The name ain't someone, the name is London and I thought I explained pretty well why you could not do that. I'm blowing this pop stand.
