DDJ Ergo with Serato Intro-Master Audio Out Question

I just bought the DDJ Ergo and am very pleased with it so far. I am planning on using it with my mobile DJ sound system (balanced line going into an active X over (Behringer CX3400, )then to a QSC Amplifier (PLX 3402) and finally to JBL speakers. This would be for Bi-Amped operation. I have a few questions: Can the Ergo be plugged directly into the sound system or is it better to continue to go through my mixer( avoiding accidently overdriving and clipping the x over and amp)? Looking at the specs it looks like the output has an impedence of 1k ohms or less. If the ergo can be plugged directly into the sound system, would I need any type of matching transformer?

@Raymond > You'll be fine connecting it from the ERGO directly to the system, no transformers or DI boxes required.

To avoid running too hot a signal going into the X over and amplifier..do I set the Master audio out volume to a 12 o'clock position? (or is this something that I need not be concerned about --other than listening for any type of distortion)?.

@Raymond > For ease of mixing, you may prefer to keep the master level closer to 2 o'clock (which is around 0dB for most applications) and then adjust the incoming or outgoing signal level on the Xover.

I checked with Serato and they me know how to set the software for 0db (digital) going into the Ergo.(command + click on the master output gain control ). However, they said to check back with you as far as if the ergo internal soundcard would be at 0db out (analog) when the Serato software is set to 0db (digital).

I expect that when the software is sending 0dB that the hardware would also be 0dB as it doesn't have any hardware gain control, only software.
