PA Top (No. 002) sits in the PA section, 14 icons that describe how sound gets on and off the stage. This one shows where the system lives and how much stage it consumes.
Add it, label it, and save the plot. The next time this band books, the layout is already done.
Put it where it will really stand, not where it is convenient to draw. Mains sit outside the downstage corners with subs on the deck or flown, positioned to keep the front row covered without firing into the vocal mics. Stageplot Pro keeps every icon to scale, so the spacing you draw is the spacing the crew builds.
The detail that saves a phone call. Note whether the PA is house supplied or provided. Coverage arguments are much cheaper before the truck arrives.
PA Top (No. 002) is not an audio source, so it adds no rows to the input list. It is there to make the drawing accurate: it shows where the system lives and how much stage it consumes, and the channel count stays clean because nothing silent is padding it out.
The input list behind the plot exports as a Behringer X32 or Midas M32 scene file, a Behringer Wing scene, or CSV channel names for Allen and Heath dLive, Avantis, and SQ, DiGiCo, and Yamaha CL and QL desks. See the console guides.
