Thanks for listening to my music, Danny!

By the way, if you do use the Yamaha amp with no speakers, I think that's not good. I tried to do that with an old Peavey head and the company told me to use a dummy load or risk blowing the amp. I tried resistors as a dummy load but they got way too hot.

A mixer with EQ sounds like the trick for you. I don't know of any that don't use AC power, though (usually a wall wart).



That old Peavey must have been tube (valve) output amp.

Today's transformerless Solid State amplifiers don't need to have a load on the power amp at all and will operate safely in that fashion.

Danny's Yamaha powered mixer likely has either a Line Output or it may be marked Record Out or the likes, and he could use a shielded audio cable to connect to the Line Inputs of his powered Mackie speakers, just using the Mixer section of the Powered Yamaha PA as a mixer.

And it won't hurt a thing if connected and run in that fashion.
