is this setup correct? or even possible? The outputs on the driverack PA+ are low left/mono out, and high left out.

PS... i know the picture of the driverack is not the driverack PA+

    You are sending to signals into the DRPA, but on one will be passed (except for the summed lows). But otherwise, fine.

    Yes that will work just fine... actually if you set up a 2x4 and only use the left or right ins and out everything will be just fine... just don't set up a dual mono setup or it will want you to go through the auto eq sequence twice..

    It will probably be best though to run the left ins and outs for the auto level sequence, it will also probably be a problem with the auto balance setup, but I didn't use it with mine. It's kind of a newbie feature anyway and you seem a bit more knowledgeable.. right?

    lol... thanks for the kudos on the diagram.. I actually just used photoshop to create the diagram. Wish there were an easier program out there to draw diagrams like this. Im sure there is, but I don't know the name of it.

    Thanks for the help guys. Btw, where exactly is the best RTA placement in the room for the auto EQ feature? 10-15 feet in mid center on a mic stand about 5 feet off the ground?

    Should read: "Btw, where exactly is the best measurement microphone placement in the room for the auto EQ feature?"

    There in lies the problem said the spider to the fly...

    absolutely no way you can place a mic on a stand in a room with L/R speakers much less those AND subs...WAY too many arrival times to be of any use...

    Try one stack only, (turn the other off or unplug it)on axis (strait out from the speakers centerline) 20-25' out with the mic lying on something like a towel (ever see the "Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy"?) to stop any reflections off the floor.

    but if you haven't read the FAQ section posts on the auto eq process and it's quirks and pitfalls then I guess you probably should...in case you missed the "READ ME FIRST BEFORE POSTING" section on the front page here is the link...

    another potentially illuminating post is the "start here thread" where we stress the importance of gain structure.
