PA2 Loudspeaker Management System

The PA2 Loudspeaker Management System is a next-generation loudspeaker management system, engineered to bring professional audio tuning and control to your sound setup with speed and precision. Designed for live sound engineers, musicians, and venues, the PA2 combines powerful features like AutoEQ™, AFS (Advanced Feedback Suppression), and real-time mobile control into one streamlined, intuitive processor.

At the heart of the PA2 is the All-New Setup Wizard, making system configuration simple and fast, even for first-time users. The Streamlined AutoEQ™ automatically adjusts your EQ settings based on the room’s acoustics, delivering optimal sound without manual tuning. The improved AFS™ offers automatic feedback detection and suppression, ensuring clean sound even in challenging live environments.

With mobile compatibility for Android®, iOS®, Mac®, and Windows®, you can control every parameter remotely using your smartphone or laptop. The PA2 supports full-range, 2-way, and 3-way crossover systems, making it ideal for a wide variety of sound setups.

The unit features a comprehensive DSP toolset, including:

• Graphic EQ

• 8-Band Parametric EQ on input (auto-adjusted by AutoEQ)

• Subharmonic Synthesizer

• 8-Band Parametric EQs on outputs (for speaker tuning)

• Compression, Limiting, and Driver Alignment Delays

These advanced processing tools ensure your system delivers maximum clarity, headroom, and protection for your components.

Compact yet powerful, the PA2 delivers studio-quality sound processing in a rack-mountable form factor. Whether you’re managing audio for a concert, club, worship space, or touring rig, the PA2 provides the perfect balance of control, performance, and convenience.

1. What is the PA2 Loudspeaker Management System?

• The PA2 Loudspeaker Management System is a rack-mountable DSP processor for PA systems that combines AutoEQ™, AFS (Advanced Feedback Suppression), crossover management, compression, limiting, and speaker tuning tools for live sound and installed audio.

2. How does Streamlined AutoEQ™ work?

• Streamlined AutoEQ™ measures room acoustics and automaticallly adjusts the 8-band parametric input EQ and graphic EQ to deliver balanced frequency response, faster setup, and reduced need for manual tuning.

3. What is AFS (Advanced Feedback Suppression) and how effective is it?

• AFS is an automatic feedback detection and suppression system that locates feedback frequencies in real time and applies narrow, musical filters to stop feedback without severely affecting tonal quality—ideal for live sound reinforcement.

4. Which devices support mobile control for the PA2?

• Mobile Control is supported on Android®, iOS®, macOS, and Windows®, allowing engineers to adjust EQ, crossover, compression, and delays remotely from smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

5. Can the PA2 handle full-range, 2-way, and 3-way crossover setups?

• Yes. The PA2 supports full-range, 2-way, and 3-way crossover configurations with adjustable slopes and crossover frequencies for flexible system integration and speaker protection.

6. What EQ options are available on the PA2?

• The PA2 offers a Graphic EQ, an AutoEQ-adjusted 8-band parametric input EQ, plus dedicated 8-band parametric EQs on each output channel for precise speaker tuning.

7. Does the PA2 include dynamics processing like compression and limiting?

• Yes. The unit includes compression and limiting on inputs/outputs to control dynamics, increase perceived loudness, and protect drivers from clipping and overload.

8. What is Subharmonic Synthesis and why would I use it?

• Subharmonic Synthesis generates low-frequency content below the input signal’s fundamental to enhance bass presence, useful for small systems that lack deep extension or for adding weight to live mixes.

9. How does Driver Alignment Delay work and why is it important?

• Driver Alignment Delays let you add per-driver delays to align acoustic wavefronts from multiple speakers or drivers, improving transient coherence and phase alignment across the listening area.

10. Is there a setup wizard and how fast is system configuration?

• The PA2 features an All-New Setup Wizard that guides you step-by-step through routing, crossover selection, AutoEQ measurement, AFS activation, and basic tuning—allowing most systems to be configured in minutes.
