The DRPA is a crappy processor; possibly the worst DSP on the market. Everyone has advised you against it. It offers no benefit over the DCX except perhaps the sub synth, which would destroy your small sub system in a heartbeat. BTW, HF drivers are not the only drivers at risk from the 5V power on/off voltage spike, nor does a passive crossover network offer a great deal of protection. Do as you will... Ralph

The DRPA is a crappy processor; I havent decided on anything yet. I was just inclined to get the dbx since it seems that everyone else in the region here are using that and not the behringer.. > possibly the worst DSP on the market.

If you ask me something like that does not belong in a PA system... >BTW, HF > drivers are not the only drivers at risk from the 5V power on/off > voltage spike, True, but they are more sensitive than a 15" or 18" woofer.. Atleast thats my experience >nor does a passive crossover network offer a great deal > of protection. It does include a capacitor in series with the HF driver, wich could be considered better than nothing with regards to protection :-) /peter
