Can I use the "K-10 powered speaker" in passive form from a powered mixer, without using it's own built-in power source?

I am not completely sure what you are asking however, I just used my K10's with a mixer & they worked very well. Both were plugged in- the sound was very commanding - the only thing I would do different is buy the K12's for a bigger sound but that is just me.

You Can't use this speaker as Passive only Powered, However there some passive models from qsc

Yes, it requires a separate amplifier (not "pre-amp") to power passive speakers. This mixer only outputs pre-amp level signals that need to go to a power amplifier to increase the signal enough to drive unpowered speakers. You need to feed the output of this mixer into an amplifier, whether that amplifier is standalone that in turn drives speakers, or the amplifiers are built into powered speakers.

you don't have to because this is a powered speaker. what you need is a mixer.

Your options would be to buy powered speakers or buy an amplifier to drive passive speakers

You will need powered external speakers if you plan not to use a receiver. In other words, speakers which have their own volume control.

Why would you want to? The speakers are supposed to be one of it's best characteristics. It could be done but probably won't supply the power needed and you'll damage the system.

I need more detail regarding this issue. These speakers are self-powered and do not require a power source to provide sound. It requires an input source that uses an xlr or 1/4 mic plug. Some mixers have xlr outputs to make it easier to connect. From there you can connect other inputs using Rca connections. Hope this helps.

I've read up on this subwoofer, and from what I understand (and see by looking at it), there's no passive input. It can only be run by the internal amp.

No. This speaker must be powered by an amp or receiver. It also must be given a signal via prepro or receiver.

Yes I have powered several pairs of speakers from the surround back/ zone 2 output using an impedance balancing speaker selector.

Yes the K8's are great powered speakers. I would not use ANY powered speakers with powered mixers though.

Yes, you can. However, it will drain the power from the speaker at a much faster rate.

Hello Bob, this is not a powered mixer. Although it powers up and can be used for a standard mixer when plugged in the wall socket adapter. It's other way of powering up which is to plug it in to an open USB Connector on your computer. Which then makes it a Audio Interface for recording with Digital Audio Workstation on your computer such as Garage Band or Pro tools ( If your going to use it for an audio mixer. Plug it in the wall with the provided adaptor, then run the outputs into an Amplifier of your choice) Try You Tube for more information on your Audio Interface/ Mixer.

No, these are traditional component speakers and are not self-powered. Hope this helps. Barry

It is NOT powered but there is a powered model available. My only problem with a powered speaker is that if the internal amp is broken, the speaker is unusable and can NOT be equalized like an external amp with an electric equalizer.

Yes and also an adapter to power the mixer with a conventional wall outlet, making it possible to use the mixer without a computer for power.
