Great unit, even at three times its list cost. 'Been using one for 11 months now. Would NEVER go back to an analog crossover. Just too many benefits and CONTROL capabilities in the DCX! -- Best Regards, Mark A. Weiss, P.E. www.mwcomms.com -

Based on what you write I find it difficult to comprehend that you didn't get the EV cross-over repaired after getting the stop-gap spare. > Although the system is underpowered ( rmx850 on highs, USA1310 > on subs ) it has plenty of headroom for the shows it is used for, It is not underpowered if it doesn't clip in actual use. > The only thing that annoys me is the crappy sound of that cx2310.... > I could just get a new EV AC-One, You say it has an intermittant fault, how about asking the repair people on this group or locally about getting it fixed low priority. As long as you have an analog desk output it seems sensible to me to keep the signal path analog and not go to digital and back for a single box only; but of course there are also other concerns and some of the time digital boxes can do things that analog boxes can not. >> when your rig is ready buy the behringer >> it is "way better" than the dbx drpa >> it will actually protect your speakers if set up properly >> the drpa COULD damage your speakers under certain situations even if set >> up properly > I am aware of the power-up issue on the Driverack, but I dont think it will > be that much of a deal in this system ( no HF drivers to kill with a turn-on > thump directly from an amp ) It could be obnoxious for the ears of the audience as well as the - most important - audiostaff. You MUST get (and carry) a UPS in case you go for the driverack. Also, and it may matter, the Behringer with all its options could be a much better toy and offer a good deal of learning too. > /peter -- ******************************************* * My site is at: http://www.muyiovatki.dk * ******************************************* |
