What setting for the active speaker?

I have RCF Art935-A active speakers and I want to hold an event in an open field (sub woofers are not used at this event). My connection is as follows: a wireless shure microphone to the input of the Yamaha mg10xu, PC music to the second mixer input, XLR from the Yamaha mixer output to the DBX PA2 input, High OUT L and R cables to the RCF active speakers. I chose 2-way stereo first - it didn't work (no sound came from the microphone or the computer). Is it necessary to set full range? I also used the RTA mic for setup. I couldn't get the DBX PA2 system to work with the 2-way option.

    2 Way is for Mains and Subs. If you only have a set of full range speakers, then use the Factory Preset 1 for ST.FullRange (if you are coming into the PA2 with L/R connections from your mixer) or M.FullRange (if you are coming in only on 1 XLR connection).

    Your main speakers will go out High L/R

    Whenever you change a preset the system auto mutes, so you will need to disengage the mutes. You can run the RTA Mic and Auto EQ Wizard separately via the Wizard Menu

    Thank you for the answer. I will try the full range option.

    I read the DBX manual again and the correct choice is still 2-way application? RCF art 935-A speakers are bi amplified. I copy-paste from the guide:
    2-Way Application
    This application is suitable for systems using full range main speakers along with subs or for systems using bi-ampable main
    speakers with no subs. In this type of application, the PA2 will split the signal into two frequency bands and send all lower
    frequencies out the LOW outputs to the subs (or low frequency drivers if configuring a bi-amplified main speaker system) and
    all upper frequencies out the HIGH outputs to the full range mains (or high frequency drivers if configuring a bi-amplified main
    speaker system). When configuring the PA2 for this type of application, the LOW and HIGH outputs will be enabled and the
    MID outputs will be disabled.

    If I select Full Range Application 1 (Standard) in the DBX settings number 1, the DBX only lets high frequencies through and nothing comes through my RCF art 935-A woofer?

    This application is suitable for full range systems which do not require an active crossover. In this type of configuration, the PA2
    will send full range signal (20 Hz - 20 kHz) through the HIGH outputs. When the PA2 is configured for this type of application
    using the Setup Wizard, only the HIGH outputs will be enabled; the MID and LOW outputs will be disabled and will not pass
    audio.

    Or am I still misunderstanding everything?
