Hi folks!
Here's the deal: I'm building a nice setup for loud music but I'm getting
headaches since I'm adding more stuff to the more complex units chain.
So this is where you techheads could help me.
I'll try to be most exact as possible.
First, I'll run the whole setup in MONO mode
Here's the way it will be connected.
I got a NAD 1020a Pre-amp with RCA outputs.
This goes into a Crate LS3-231 EQ with 3 different in/output configurations
(RCA - 1/4 - XLR). So the pre-amp is IN RCA and OUT XLR that will
runs thru the active crossover (Phonic PCR 2213).
This is where I'm confused. Here's a picture of the back of the rack:

As you can see, there is a IN XLR (for mono) and this is clear for me.
What I' not sure about is the OUT MID and OUT HIGH that are separated.
How come I could get both frequencies and feed them to my first amp ?
Will I need a Y cord adapter to join them and feed to the mono input of the amp?
The OUT LOW part ain't a problem since it will be routed to a DBX compressor and then a second power amp.
I'm not sure if this will work if I join the HIGH and MID output of the xover to the power amp.
I read about tri-amp configuration and it seems very nice since there are 3 power amp to drive each frequencies. Maybe I'll switch to that later but for now, this is where I am.
ANY help will be pretty welcome :)
