Re: Mackie FR 1400

Just to keep things better balanced and maintain some degree of
control, I'd suggest putting your two mains in parallel and connecting
them to one channel, and connect the monitor to the other channel.
That way the volume from the mains would be the same rather than
splitting the amplifier's power between one main and one monitor. And
you could adjust the volume of the mains and monitor separately.

Great suggestion! I'll definitely change the setup that way we can
control the monitor seperately.

If the amplifier's ambient temperature is 100-110 degrees and you're
running it close to rated power, then it may very well go into thermal
protection mode. There are few power amplifiers that will be happy
with that ambient temperature without some forced air circulation.

Going to load up on the fans, no windows or A/C in our practice space
and hope that helps. When playing out, the ambient temp will be lower
than 100-110, if it's not, then I can't see anyone else bothering to
show up ;)

Thanks for the info!
