Full Range Application 3 (All Outputs Full Range)
Some full range systems may require more than two full range outputs from the PA2. The PA2 can accommodate these
systems as well, but such systems are atypical and cannot be properly configured using the PA2’s Setup Wizard alone.
Typically, you can parallel your amps or powered speakers in such a system and just use a pair of outputs from the PA2 to
feed the system – this is the recommended way to configure this type of system as the Setup Wizard can still be used and you
could simply configure the system as shown in ‘Full Range Application 1 (Standard)’ on page 50. However, if your
amplifiers or powered speakers do not offer parallel connections then of course this method won’t work.
The easiest way to configure such a system is to load a preset which is pre-configured for this type of application. When
using the PA2 for this type of application, the LOW, MID, and HIGH outputs will all be active and will output a full-range signal
(20 Hz - 20 kHz). Note that you can alter the crossover frequencies at any time. So, for example, if you have a system which
requires 4 full range outputs and 2 subwoofer outputs, this configuration could still be used by altering the crossover settings
to send low frequencies to the subs and all higher frequencies to the mains.
Application Notes:
• Make sure your mixer and amplifiers (or powered speakers) are turned off before making connections.
• Make connections as described in ‘Making Connections’ on page 8 then apply power to the system according to
the instructions described in ‘Applying Power’ on page 10.
• Recall preset 13 (ST.6FR). Note that no limiters will be set in this application. If using powered speakers, you can simply
use the built-in limiters. For information on manually calibrating the limiters, see ‘Manual System Optimization Tips’ on
page 18.
