Q: 5. Can I use a dynamic and a condenser mic at the same time? Does it give individual phantom power?

A: The Yamaha Yamaha MG10XU can provide phantom power to channels 1-4 together, but phantom power cannot be toggled on/off for an individual channel. This would not pose a hazard to most dynamic microphones, although with vintage or ribbon mics you would want to be cautious.

A: If the subwoofer has a Left / Right input and output, you would go from the Yamaha MG10XU Left / Right main out - into the subwoofer - out from the subwoofer to the Left and Right top speakers. Alternatively, if the subwoofer does not allow you to send the signal out, and the speaker has a line/mix output, you can connect that to the subwoofer.
