trouble with auto eq

Hello all,

I'm a first time user of a drive rack pa+ and new to the forum as well. I am trying to set up the auto eq with JBL PRX 635 speakers. I am attempting the outdoor method and am having trouble. I have the speaker set up on a stand out in the grass with the DBX RTA mic also on a stand approx mid way between woofer and tweeter. I have tried all different mic distances ranging from 4 feet to 10 feet. My issue is that I keep getting inconsistent readings when I run the auto eq. I will make a pass and get a pretty flat reading and then make another pass without changing anything and get as totally different reading. I am also trying to correct using the PEQ. Aside from the different readings I am also having some trouble adjusting the PEQ. I will take a pass and view what the GEQ has done. It might read flat with most frequencies boosted around 3db. When adjusting the PEQ no matter how high I boost I cant seem to get rid of that 3db boost on the GEQ. I even was at the point where I would boost the PEQ up to 10 db boost and still show a 3db boost when running the auto eq. I dont have alot of experience in doing this although I do have some experience in live sound reinforcement but I don't know what the heck Im doing wrong.

    There could be MANY reasons for this including temperature and humidity variations and wind...Try the indoor method and see if the problem still occurs, if so there may be a problem with the unit...or mic
