I actually own a Dynacord powermax 5 pa rig and I use a Dynacord cms 1000 dry desk, great sound but Im getting on in years now and tired of pulling and hauling big gear around,
at my gigs I use about 5 channels
I did purchase 2 6m xlr to xlr cables from gear4music to be able to use all channels on both my stagepas's, but maybe taking on board what your doing and using your own desk maybe the right way forward since I know my own desk already,
So if I was to use my Dynacord cms desk, how do i go about connecting it up, and where should the controls of the stagepas be if using my own desk,
the eq on the stagepas don't really come into play then do it since using my own desk, a lot of questions yes, but once I get it sorted and up and running then I can start giving my honest feedback, still here with one side at the moment and it's Rockin the house excellent sound for sure and my ketron Audya 5 sounds amazing hearing sounds I never heard through my Dynacord P5 pa
I'd say once I get set up with the second stagepas in stereo I'll be selling the P5 [emoji6][emoji1787]

On the "control" unit, which will be the Left side, go from the link out to the link in on the second Stagepas via XLR female to XLR male. Be sure to engage the appropriate button(s) as shown in the illustration.
Contrary to Yamaha's suggestion, do not input your mixing desk via the left unit's link input. Either go into channel 3 (TRS) R/L or channel 1 and channel 2 via XLR.
This gives you a stereo connection. Only inputs to the left side Stagepas play back. . If you mix in stereo, this is the ticket.
Early users reported that using the link input xlr with a stand alone mixer resulted in too little signal with insufficient gain to get a usable signal. Going into ch 3 via TRS will give enough gain. Going in ch 1 and ch 2 offers more gain still (if needed).
As for the eq, I like to start in the middle. If vocals get lost in the mix [muddy or inaudible] with other instruments, try sweeping toward "speech" for the overall eq control.
