[AG-TECH] XAP 800

[Allan Spale]

Mustafa,

Sorry for the delay in responding but I am checking my e-mail from home
today.

In the image that I sent to you, Output 1 is where EVL's speakers are
connected.  It is a bit weird because we are first connecting these
outputs into the "Mackie Mixer" output (output 3), and then connecting the
output from the mixer directly to the speakers (without using the matrix).
So in your case, I would use output 3 as a reference for considering what
is connected to your speakers.

To try to generalize the situation, it seems that echo cancellation works
well when you send any sound source that will be coming out of your
speakers into some output that is not being used (here, output D was
used).  Then choose to echo cancel on that output.

But this is from the world of AP 400 that I somewhat know.  I am not sure
how to proceed (contact Gentner, read the manual, talk to people on AG
MUD, etc.).

Best of luck.
