It retains the information until you run the Auto EQ again.
This is really handy if you leave the system in exactly the same place between uses or if you have EQ'd the enclosure outside (as mentioned before). But if you move the system to another room, you must re EQ the system as the acoustics of two spaces are never the same.
I'm glad you don't mind, because here I go again. lol. Does it retain the auto eq settings from use to use until I rerun the setup, or do you have to redo it each time you turn the unit on?
When auto EQ'ing it's important to point the mic directly at the horn of the speaker. It should also be at the same height as the horn too.
You only need to have the vocal mics on to perform the 1st part of the auto function. You could indeed switch all the mics on but I prefer just to run the vocal mics as these tend to be more problematic.
I see you found the answer to your monitor send.
I don't mind answering your questions at all. If you need more help let me know.
Oh yes, and the last, last, last question of the evening. lol. When setting up the auto eq function, we put the mic 10 ft from the speaker, but should it be faced twords the speaker or away from it as if it were in position to sing?
Ok, and one last last question for the day. lol. When I do the auto eq'ing, do I only want the vocal mics turned up/on, or do I want to turn on and provide the "nominal volume to others as well, like the mic's mic'ing the guitar and bass amps, and any drums?
One last question for you. And I have to thank you sincerely. You have I recently bought a brand new xr1220 because everything I read made it seem like it was "sound board for dummies". lol. I have a yamaha mg board as well, and not being a sound engineer it proved just too complicated for my limited knowledge. This board seems like with a small learning curve it does alot of the more complicated adjustments for me, and seems almost fool proof. I'm sure if I knew more, I could improve upon
The sound I am getting. But it is allowing me to be functional and far better than what I was accomplishing with my other board. But what I was going to ask was: I am running my mains off one internal amp, and a pair of wedge monitors off the other. I personally ( I'm the singer), and my drummer have wireless in ear monitors. What would be the best way to hook them up? What source should I use coming out of the board?
Hopefully one that can be mixed seperately from the mains and wedge monitors. I.E. Can the monitor 2 system on the individual channels be adjusted and mixed sperately and come out a line level output?
Again, thank you sooooo much for the videos and advice. ( and as I go I may have more questions if you don't mind).
...once. Now you just use the graphic on the XR1212 to make corrections for the room. Either method can provide good results but it's worth experimenting.
Firstly, you can place the RTA mic around 10ft in front of the loudspeaker aiming directly at the horn. This will correct for the room the system is in and needs to be done at each gig. The other way is to actually take the loudspeaker outside, away from any large structures and lay it down on the grown facing the sky. Then you place the mic on a stand pointing down at the enclosure (again aimed at the horn). This will correct any issues in the enclosure itself and you only need to do it...
There is no phantom power on the RTA input. This is because there is a filter on the preamp that compensates for the response of a standard dynamic mic like a Peavey PVM22 or a Shure SM58. This means that users don't have to buy a 'special' RTA mic.
The Auto EQ can be used whether you are in stereo or mono/monitor mode. There are two ways you can use the Auto EQ function...
I am stiill curious about a couple things. 1. Can the RTA Autoi eq'ing be done with a condensor mic? Does the universal phantom power run through it? All I use is super cardiod condensors, is it better to use one of the mics we will actually be using to run the auto eq'ing? Also, you talked about doing the auto eq'ing on a left speaker and then a right. If you are running on amp to 2 mains, and one to 2 monitors, can you use the auto eq? If so where do you position the mic?
Hi scottlagow83, when the XR1212 is in Mon 1 & 2 mode, the mono output remains full range.

Can you run amp one for mon1 and amp 2 for mon2 and still get a sub out ?

I either use a pen, small screwdriver or a paperclip.

That's right.
Although the Auto EQ feature works well, you do still have a very good graphic EQ which will let you optimise the system in virtually any venue.
If you don't know how to get the best from a graphic EQ, try going to lundaudio dt com and navigate to the 'feedback' page.

So when your running 1 amp on left and right mains, and one amp on left and right monitors, you just run the auto eq on one speaker for each?
