Mixer to T8S to F1 - master and volume settings

Portable PA
1

I am looking for help with the correct setting for the following equipment.

Pioneer DJ RX2 linked to the Bose T8S and then linked to 8 Bose F1's. Both the Pioneer and the T8S have a Master, Volume and trim control, but which one do I set first and to what levels on each machine? Also would the speakers be set half way or fully up?

Hey motionblu, 

You shouldn't need the F1s on full volume, especially as you have so many of them!

I would start with ensuring there's a healthy output level from the DJ RX2 without peaking (around 70-80%) going into the T4S. Then I'd recommend setting both the T4S and F1 levels between a quarter and halfway up to begin with, before adjusting accordingly to suit the venue. 

Hope this helps!
