This example shows a typical PA system using mixer with an external power amplifier and a pair of dB500 for the main left and right
mix. A separate signal from the mixer’s AUX/MOINITOR buss is sent to two additional dB500’s place in the tilt-back, wedge positions
for use as floor monitors. In order to increase the output of the monitor system, the use of an external graphic equalizer like one of the
Samson “E” or “S curve” series is highly recommended.
