Using a powered mixer with active pa cabinets.

We have a Samson XM910 powered mixer/pa head and may get some decent active pa cabs to cut down on weight/size/hassle etc. 

We sold the giant, hernia inducing Peavey cabs we had and before I search for a passive mixer, I was wondering if we could line out from our little pa head into active cabs, bypassing the internal power stages and just using it as a mixer. 

If we need monitoring in future, we can use the power section for those and line out to the active foh cabs. 

Is this at all possible or am I going mad ?

If you come out of the Mix Out on the front panel and connect to the Line In on an Active speaker, you should be OK, the back panel outputs are speaker outputs and should not be connected to anything but a passive speaker input.

 

QSC K12.2 monitors would suit as they are excellent, but there are many, many other options available.
