Q: 1. This is for our school. Is this a powered mixer or will I need to purchase power amps to drive stage monitors and PA speakers?

A: The Allen & Heath ZED-24 is a mixer only. You would need to connect it to an amplifier if you want to power passive speakers and/or passive stage monitors. It seems like you are looking for something more like B&H # YAEMX5014C or B&H # YAEMX7.

Q: 9. I have the Zoom L-8. Connected to my computer via USB; cell phone connected to L-8's 1/8" TRRS jack using the supplied cable. The manual says the caller will hear the master mix, but the caller is not hearing the master mix; they're hearing me (via mic plugged into one of the six mic/line inputs) but NOT the audio coming from my computer (YouTube playback for testing). I'm hearing it on my headphones (master mix) but the caller is not hearing the full master mix. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is the manual incorrect? (It says you can't use the Line In for channel 7 when using phone, but says nothing about USB in--and I CAN hear the USB in in the master mix). Thanks.

A: The audio also needs to be connected to the L8 in one of the mic inputs which are audio line inputs if no mic is being utilize. if you have the caller connected to line 7/8 mini jack dont connect nothing there only phone. its best to have a second device playing the audio connected to the L8

Q: 10. Can I use the Motorola CLS 1410 to communicate with these?

A: Radios operating on UHF channels such as the Motorola CLS1410 will not communicate with radios operating on VHF channels such as the Motorola MOTOTRBO CP200d Portable 5W 16-Channel Analog/Digital 2-Way Radio (VHF Band). If the UHF version of the CP200d is selected (BH #MOCP200DU) there is a possibility that the two radios could communicate if programmed to the same frequency channels.
