Probably a bit of a newbie question, but what is the best way to link together two seperate systems? Both with own amp rack.

send your master out L to one stack and R to the other?

I've wondered if this is a good way or not. Suppose you can lose some bass content doing this as opposed to summing? Also lose the opposite stereo sides content as well. Fine if im stereo of course Can always set a spare channel on the processor to be a signal out.

Yeah, I'd go main L to one system and main R to the other. I don't think you'd lose any bass - anything below 100Hz is almost always panned mono anyway. Chris

So from the mixer to both lms just split the L and R?

'Y split' cables ie if XLR out on mixer then make up cables that go from a single female XLR to two male XLR's.

If you just send main L to one stack and main R to the other (and have both stacks configured for mono input), you'll at least get some semblance of stereo. Sending left and right to two mono stacks means you'll just have mono everywhere. Any panning effects used by the DJ will be completely lost. Chris

Depends on the reason you're linking them.
And how alike they are. If you want to link them to "compare" or "compete" so you have a "system A" (L+R stack) on the L side of the room/field, and a "system B" (L+R as a single "stack") on the other. Then feed L to one side/system and R to the other to maintain a stereo (ish) image. - problem is if the stacks have different frequency responses, or different power then you're basically buggered anyway as far as stereo image or fidelity is concerned.) if you just want a "bigger than just one" system. put "system A" stack that you normally use for L on the L side of the space, put system B L stack on the L side of the space. take your main mixer L out and feed it into the input of stack A L and stack B L either with a split cable (Y cable.) or (if it exists.) a thru option. Then do the same with the R side of system A and R side of system B putting the boxes in the R side of the space. If you do not run a stereo system and just have one large pile of speakers running mono, just add more speakers to the pile and carry on as you are...
