3. Using the internal power amplifier for monitoring or side-fill purposes: In case you want to use an external power amplifier to drive your main speaker systems, the internal power amplifier can be used for monitoringor side-fill purposes. Use short patch-cables to connect the AUX3 OUTPUT with the...

5. Maximum amount of speakers in a passive configuration: The PSX allows connection of up to three loudspeaker cabinets with an impedance of 8 ohms per channel. In other words: the internal poweramplifier is capable of driving a maximum of six 8 ohm speaker models. The following diagram shows how th...
