[sdiy] [OT] Modular output into powered speaker sanity/reality check

[David G Dixon]

I run my final VCA into a little Behringer mixer, and then into powered
speakers (Behringer Truth monitors).  This works well, and the mixer is
about the size of a hardbound book, so easily would fit in a backpack.
