PA+ Mid & High Outputs in Full Range

paulcmusik

Hi I wanted to know is it possible to to setup up the Driverack PA+ this way.

My Equipment:
Driverack PA+,
4 x JBL115 (250W RMS @ 8 ohms) connected to a 4 x 490 Watts @ 8 Ohm, AMP
2 x JBL118s (350W RMS @ 4 Ohms) connected to a 2 x 510 Watt @ 4 Ohm, AMP

Speaker Placement
The 4 x JBL115 will be suspended from the ceiling & the 2 x JBL118s will be placed on the floor

Music
Chart & Dance Music

is it possible to send the low frequency to the subs from the PA+ Low XLR's, and send the Mid & High Frequency to all JBL115's from the PA+ Mid & High XLR's

Is this possible are safe to do are what would be the best way to setup this system?

1 - The output labels are only there as reference based on certain configs. For a 2-way (tops and subs) set-up, you typically will used the Hi and low outputs. This does not mean that you lose the mid signal by not connecting to the Mid output.

2 - If you want to have 2 115's patched to the hi outputs and 2 115's patched to the mid outputs, but both receiving the same signal, and to have a little extra control of speaker pair volume (separate), and some PEQ tweekabilty per pair... yes.

For #1, simply set up a 2x4 config (stereo - passive + sub), and daisy all the amps for the 115's together from the Hi outputs.
For #2, set up a 2x6 config (stereo - bi-amp + sub), connect 115's amps to the Hi and Mid outputs. You will have to set the mid and hi x-over filters to match, unless you want to alter the response of one set or the other (reduce horn level on a pair for zoning purposes, for example).

If that does not answer your question, fire back with whatever you need.
