I have one S1pro speaker for presentations with music background. I would like a small quality mixer. Do you have any experience connecting one speaker with a Yamaha MG06 mixer? When I connect the left output to the Bose, the individual channels do not have pan / bal. The microphone input has a stereo / mono switch, but the line inputs have nothing. Thanks for the tips.
Plug the L and R outputs into CH1 and 2 respectively on the S1 Pro. That way you'll get both sides of the stereo from the tracks. It won't matter if you have the mini/stereo switches in or out.

If you are NOT using both sides (Left and Right) of the stereo inputs (3/4 and 5/6),
then you can use a single XLR cable or 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable from the Left Output of the Yamaha MG06 to one channel on the S1 Pro.
If you are using the stereo inputs, then use two XLR or two 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve cables from the Left and Right Outputs to S1 Pro channels 1 and 2.
For each channel you are using on the S1 Pro System
- Turn the channel volume off
- Connect your sound source
- Adjust the volume of the source device output to the reference or nominal output level.
- On the Yamaha MG06 it is marked as unity or 0 dB.
- On the Yamaha MG06 it is marked as unity or 0 dB.
- You can set the S1 Pro channel(s) to 10:00 o'clock as a starting point. Set the other settings for Reverb, Bass, and Treble as shown.
- While playing/singing as loud as you will during your performance, bring up the channel volume until you see solid green on the channel indicator light. Occasional flickers of red are okay. If you see solid red or you hear distortion, turn down the volume.
That should get you going. Questions?

I use 3/4 line inputs, but I don't know how it works with this mixer, because the line input doesn't have a bal to left or right. Or should I connect both mixer outputs to channels 1 and 2 on speaker s1?
Also there is a button between the channels for stereo or mono. Mono means channel one goes left and channel two goes right.
I use this mixer ( the one with effects) and use guitar on channel one which outputs left and inputs to channel one on my S1 Pro. The mic goes in channel two which outputs right and inputs to channel two on the S1 Pro. I adjust the volumes/gain as ST mentions above. I then turn up the S1 Pro volumes to a good level and put the tone (bass/treble) controls on center. I use the tonematch for mic on the mic channel and EQ at the mixer. For my guitar, it sounds best to leave the tonematch off and EQ at the mixer.
I use the S1 Pro reverb set light and add a little delay at the mixer. Really great sound and easy to work with. I have a battery pack that I use with the mixer so I am running everything off battery.
Hope this helps and it may not at all be what you are looking for. Stay safe and healthy!

It's pretty straightforward:
Plug your microphone into Channel 1/L. Set the Mono/Stereo switch to Mono (up). I'd also push the HPF button, will help make the voice easy to understand with less low frequency stuff.
If you have a stereo music feed, like a headphone out from an iPod or laptop or something, use a headphone to 2x1/4" plug cable. Plug one side into the L/Mono jack of 3/4, and the other side into the L/Mono jack of 5/6, it doesn't matter which plug goes where. Turn the Level control of 3/4 and 5/6 to the same value.
Connect the Left output to the S1Pro. Yes, you could run the L and R from the mixer to two channels on the S1, but there's no point as the two signals would be combined to mono by the S1. (It shouldn't make a difference if everything is set and connected properly, but this makes for one less place that things could go wrong.)
There will be no balance or pan, as the balance/pan changes what goes out to the left speaker and to the right speaker. Since you only have one speaker, you need a mix of the L and R to come through it.
Hope this helps.
thank you all for the tips. Exactly what you described to me, I needed to know.
I read over the manual and see why you could get confused. It isn’t very clear. Perhaps Marty can interject,
I’m confused as to what you are connecting to the mixer. Can you be more specific as to what devices you wish to plug into what inputs on the mixer?
Are you not using the 2 XLR inputs? What are you using the 3/4 input for?
I use a microphone to the xlr input and a stereo line input for audio from the projector.
Stereo from projector into 3/4 then? That would make a lot of sense.
This is not the only way to use it. I am mainly interested in using this mixer when connected to S1pro.
Yes, a stereo signal into the S1 doesn’t make any sense.
But, one reason to separate the signals in the mixer from the mic and the projector sound into two different channels in the S1 is to allow some flexibility in setting the EQ and the ToneMatch settings for the two different sound sources.
Is this necessary since you have a mixer? Maybe not, but there is no EQ on mixer channels 3/4 that I could see. By putting mono (L R) signal from the projector into a separate S1 channel, allows you to use the ToneMatch switch (which you may just want to turn off), bass and treble controls to fine tune the sound at the S1. Same goes for any fine tuning for your mic in the other S1 channel.
Hope this makes sense.

That doesn't sound right, surely mono feeds the signal from, say CH1, to both outputs and stereo feeds Ch1 to L and CH2 to R?
Hi, Zdenek.

The easiest way to make sure the sound from all the inputs will work is to use two cables from the Yamaha Left and Right outputs to the S1 Pro channels 1 and 2.
That way you are covered for no matter how you have the stereo switch set,
or if you use channels 3/4 or 5/6
That will be foolproof. No matter what your settings are on the Yamaha MG06, you will get all the inputs coming out of the S1 Pro. The output will be mono from the S1 Pro.

Try plugging a mic into each channel ( 1 & 2) and push the mono/stereo button and see which LED output lights up just above main volume.
Guess I'll chime in as well. I use an MG 06X too. All set to mono, XLR out to S1 Ch.1. Tone Match off, use delay from the Yamaha. Also use a battery pack to power, makes a simple setup, anywhere. Two vocalists and guitar, sometimes cajon. Love it.
Yendor what battery pack do you use?
I have this one, that I have as a backup.

I haven't needed to use it as I also had the next item laying on the shelf for a couple of years. The connector on the unit where you plug in the booster battery clamps supplies 12 volt constant. I made an adapter for it, fused it and it works great. I've had it in use running the MG06X for 5 hours and still had probably 1/2 power left. This unit isn't available, but others like it should work just as well.

I have the UK/EU, 230VAC version of the first one and, while I haven't used it an anger it looks great. I bought mine to run a Behringer XR12* with my two S1 Pros as a small but fully functional 'off grid' PA system.
The XR12 has an onboard PSU, I may try my Mackie DL1608 off the 12 output as that should be slightly more battery efficient.
Could you please tell me what battery pack you use with the Yamaha MG06X?
thanks!
