First, start with plugging the ProFX and the speakers to AC outlets. Keep the ProFX and the speakers turned off.

Now, let's start with connecting our outputs from the ProFX-8 to the speakers. For this will need four XLR cables.

1. Using two XLR cables patching from the XLR main outputs left and right on the back of the ProFx to the SRM-

1801 inputs A and B. Left main from the ProFx with patch into A input on the SRM-1801 and Right main from

the ProFX to B input on the SRM-1801.

ProFX XLR main outputs

2. Using two more XLR cables. We're going to patch from the High-Pass outputs A and B from the SRM-1801 into

the TH-15A inputs. The A High-Pass output will patch into the left TH-15A and the B High-Pass output will patch

into the right TH-15A.
