Really a very very good technical video which helps us a lot to understand the evolution of all the buttons and the difference that we can hear... A big thank you to you.
+Michael Davis , I know what you mean , without music life is empty . If i can be any help in your future rig , just contact me here on my youtube channel. Thanks for watching .
Good Video. That QSC amp has a built in XO. You can just flip a switch next to the inputs. You could skip the XO/you would loose some control, but it does the job. Also gain staging!!!! You don't need or want any amp cranked to 10. It's a process, every instrument down the line needs to be around "0" or unity(to start), where the input equals the output. Use meters and your ears to find where things peak or get distorted from signal source, to mixing boards, to amps, and finally to drivers. when it is staged properly you can crank the main fader on a mixing desk, before the amps, and get even more DBs when there is some headroom. If the amp is cranked it will never get louder, just crappier. You get more clean tones and more volume thru gain staging. Other people have said this way better than me. Research gain staging. That mono sub switch is cool too. Keeps the tops stereo, sums out of a single output. If you have two sub cabs just run them in series.
I am trying to figure out how to let my 15" 2 way main speakers go down to 50Hz & be able to allow my 2 Subs to play 30Hz as rated to overlap the mains up to 300Hz. Because the Mains have great punch when they hit 50 Hz. DBX didn't figure that one. I just got a new DBX 223XS & I also ordered a New line of XLR Cables from SVS who make Home Stereo Subs. I can say the SVS XLR is about a 1/3 overall improvement to my sound system, I had Peavey XLR 10' cables at less than half the $rice for the SVS. They are worth the extra $. Good vid. I am looking for what benefits I can get by adding built in Crossover to my 18" Subs. I see Most Crossovers in Speakers have Copper windings & the DBX has no Copper windings at all. I hope to learn this Crossover Science.
I recently purchased a an OPTIMUS PRO SW-10P 120 WATT POWERED SUBWOOFER. I want very much to use the subwoofer with my output PA System for for vocals or piano. Your instruction were excellent for I clearly understood the parameters. If you could offer some advce or a video explaining how to use a subwoofer in connection with performance I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for info. I'll be looking to hear from you. Poinciana
Thanks for the video, we're crusade this 29th march to 31 march 2017, We have DBX 234 XL crossover, Using EV Full range, and Subwoofer, Should we set the back Knob to 3 ways stereo or we should set it to 2 ways stereo, and use the high out & and low out..,, Please urgent answered need 2days to go to Crusade Ground !!!!
Hello: Very nice and informative video regarding to the set up. Could you explain how to set up a stereo connection with a Pre-Amp, 2 power Amps, a mixer and a Graphic Equalizer. " The crossover is a PV 23XO with XLR, input and the other equipment are all with RCA out put, Thanks in advance.
I have the same crossover, and my question is that why is that the low level knobs have to be almost at 90 pct wide open for the bass to be even heard. Compared it with an ashly 2 way and the bass knob on it is at 12 o clock, same db level with the dbx. same gain structure, just an A and B test.
I haven't worked with an active crossover in many years, so this was a great refresher course! Thanks for doing such a fine job of explaining how to set this particular crossover up. Do you have the ability to set your system up in tri-amp mode so we can see how to use this crossover in mono 3-way mode? Thanks again.
Hello! Could you please do a video on how to setup in mono mode with two subwoofers included! That would really help me and my church out a lot THANKS!!!
Quinton Sanders Hi i have made the video according to your sound design requirement , here is the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6SpAfuwdWT8.html .
You all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Juelz Angel thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hey buddy I know this is video quite old but I came back to it because it helped me tremendously in the past. I was hoping you could help me with current setup and issue. I'm running 3 amps, crown 9000 (for subs) and 2 crown XTI 2000 (linked together for tops) with a 3 way behringer active crossover. I would like to know how to run my subwoofers on mono and my tops on left and right full range specifically. As I've found that when running subs on Chanel left and right with the tops I get good base However no mids from the tops! I have to turn the subwoofer gain up to get the mids I desire from my tops as all I hear is the compression drivers screaming. However this overdrives my subs. So I would like to run the sub mono 3 way wile using the tops on left and right that way I can use the low gain to turn the mids up on my top speakers not the subs. If you took the time to read all this much appreciated and looking forward to your help!
awesome video! But can you help me? I am using only one amp with two channels..... i have the dbx 223xs. How should I connect my PA system, it's for a church. Currently, i am running R and L from mixer to each side of the Crossover....so Rt is to Ch 1 and Lt is to Ch 2. From there, I have the highs out from Ch 1 of the Xover to channel one of the amp, and Lows from Ch2 of the Xover to channel two of the amp.... is this the best setup I can configure? Thanks!
EQ first then crossover (passive or active just before amplification connection to the speakers ) , watch the full video , it explains exactly your question and a lot more .
, The video you have watched is the 2 way stereo connections , if you are asking for 3 way mono or stereo then watch this video : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6SpAfuwdWT8.html
I have come across your channel recently and learned so much! Thank you so much! I have a question; From the Mixer,Does the Equalizer come first or the CrossOver?
Do you use an active and passive crossover together? Does it imply that when using an active crossover, a passive crossover should be disengaged from the speaker box. Thanks.
in order to use full functionality of active cross over you have to disconnect the passive crossover built inside the speakers , watch my other videos where i have demonstrated exactly how to do ot
If you go to a gig. But dont need sub can you still use this set up ? By just not turning on the amp for the subs. And do you have to have the settings different?
i.e lets say each amp Max power is 500W so 8x500 = 4000W You would need a 16A circut breaker i.e 16Ax240V = 3840W Once power goes up 3840W the breaker would trip. Thea's why you need power conditioner ( surge protection and voltage regulator installed with your kit ) so it protects your kit. Power distribution should be discussed , design & implemented properly with an expert electrician , above is just any example for you to comprehend .
bro. i like your teaching in crossover,thanks...the sound that i like 2 play is a little bit narrow and full base and a crisp mid and hi...can a cross over alone do the job?...i once played in a club that sound like that..fos asian people that is amazing...can u teach?...please...
+Raymond Nakamura , Crossover is just tool to forward high/mid and low frequencies to destined routes. To shape up the sound you need to apply effects like Dynamics( compressors , gate , deesser , limiter ) , Filters ( EQ , HPF , LPF) , Time based ( reverb , delay etc)Modulation ( phaser , chorus etc). Now a days a lot of digital mixers have variety of on board effects so no need to purchase dedicated effects units. A high end DSP unit comes with loads of effects as well.
yes now a days much simpler options are available as the technology keeps evolving but in many parts of the word techs are still using technology they can afford.Thanks for watching.
@@AVMEVideos Yeah I understand that. I'm not saying outboard equipment is a bad thing, they often have useful features that integrated stuff doesn't. I certainly miss the ability to switch on/off sub or midrange frequencies with the push of a button if altering settings and comparing the sound, or if I don't want the subs on, just switching them off on the fly. Doing this now means messing around with gain controls lol.
BS manufacturing strategy. I have tried this on the crown XD I 4,000 amp compared to an active crossover. Night and day difference. The active crossover blows the built in channel or the xti 4,000
@@crispa1861 I was a little sceptical about the built in crossovers in the amps but so far they've worked well for me. I have been considering getting a separate active crossover for peace of mind though. I had a Behringer super x pro sometime in the past which I loved using.
Hi... Can you show me how to set 2 ep4000 amps... With a cx2310 crossover... I need to set the top amp for tops and bottom amp for base... And settings for the crossover. Please assist... Thank you
Vin Chuhan Signal flow is: 1: L XLR output from your mixer to CH1 XLR input on CX2310 crossover. 2: R XLR output from your mixer to CH2 XLR input on CX2310 crossover. 3: Press 2 way stereo button on back of CX2310 crossover. 4: CH1 Low XLR output from CX2310 goes into CH1 XLR input on your bottom amp then CH1 speakon output to speakon input on Left sub/bin 5: CH2 Low XLR output from CX2310 goes into CH2 XLR input on your bottom amp then CH2 speakon output to speakon input on Right sub/bin 6: CH1 High XLR output from CX2310 goes into CH1 XLR input on your top amp then CH1 speakon output to speakon input on Left Top speaker. 7: CH2 High XLR output from CX2310 goes into CH2 XLR input on your top amp then CH2 speakon output to speakon input on Right Top speaker. 8: Make sure Xover is set to x1 on back of CX2310 . 9: Crossover between 70hz to 120Hz until your desired sound is achieved. Hope this helps. Thanks.
hi sir, we have the same set up at church but I am lost as to where my loudspeaker and subwoofer goes in the power amplifier. we have 2 power amplifier, 1 crossover, 2 passive loudspeaker, and passive subwoofer. could you help us where to connect these in the amplifier? thank you
thank you sir for the wonderful job of empowering djs. i kindly request if possible to do me a drawing on how to connect a dj mixer behringer vmx 1000usb, behringer crossover 2310, behringer equalizer , 2 amplifiers[ crest audio CA12 for MIDS, CA18 for BASS. which cables do you recommend me to use?, how do i set the frequencies for the MIDS and BASS on the crossover?. its my first time to do a p.a.system, thank you.
Would a active cross over be needed with a intergrated amp 380 watts rms per channel and a power amp 900 watts per channel rms. I use instrumental woofers, no subs. The inzergrated amp is used to play 450 watt speaker for music listening and the power amp powers 900 watt 12" instrumental woofers. If have guests use both amps together to use for loud karaoke. No need the deep bass of sub woofers. Mostly just listening to top 40 pop music of karaoke singing.
@@AVMEVideos yes 240 watts 6.5" mid and 3" 80 watt tweeter. The power amp is powering the large speakers, no sub woofers the 12" woofer is instrumental. The intergrated amp a joson Jupiter v1 is powering a pair of kevler kv 450 speakers. The power amp I think I'll keep the 400 watt live woofer 12". I was going to put a 900 watt instrumental 12" woofer I think that will be to much for the 900 watt challenger ca 9 power amp that is upgraded to 10 pair of transistors and 12 capacitors for a total of 900 watts RMS per channel. The sound speaker which the power amp will power is a 700 watt crown bf1268. Both of the 700 watt speakers have passive crossovers inside that control the mid and tweeter. Just did not know if an active crossover would be needed because I don't use sub woofers. The 12" instrumental woofers put out enough bass for me. I just wanted to know is it better to just link the 2 amps because I have no sub or would it be better to connect the 2 amps with active cross over. Both speakers have a 12" instrumental woofer and they both have good base. If I use an active crossover and make one channel low and the other high I will lose some of the base in the speaker hooked to high? Right now I have a 6 channel titanium mc6 mixer and a dbx 215s equalizer.
You should be okay with your setup driving the speakers from 2 amps individually . The passive crossovers would do the job . No need to link the amps , no need to add active cross over .
hey buddy, thank you for the information loved it !!! im a bass player in a band and im looking after the sound, my issue is to take bass guitar and the electronic drums bass pedal to my bass bin, here is the setup 2 x Alto TS15 for Mids and tweeters, 1 x Alto TS 18 bass bin my mixer is Soundcraft UI16 digital mixer even tho its used the dbX plugin it still does not bring out the crossover perfectly, watching your vid explains how im going to get my sound clean and channel the correct frequency to the right speakers.. so getting the DBX 223XS will help me to get that perfect crossover sound right?
+Jacques van zijl , Yes this mixer does not have a built in dbx crossover signal processing , it only has dbx 4 band parametric EQ and dbx compressor/gate processing. You need a external crossover for what you are trying to achieve.
Hi please do you have to use compressors gate and limiters as well to protect the speakers or you can just run it with the active crossover and the EQ Thanks
+DJ AHOUFE , Sorry for late reply , The dynamic tools like compressor , gate , Limmter & expansion are to setup thresholds and to control the input signal. For DJ the tracks you playback , the dynamic tools are already applied in studio during recording & mixing . Dynamic tools are more for Live sound like a band performing on stage or Live conferences , not playingback tracks. This applies to Spectral tools like EQ as well , the tracks are already EQd in studio so apply as less EQ as possible if needed. If you DJ indoors then only thing i would suggest to apply is Time based tools like Delay & Effects tools like reverb to better distribute and shape the sound according to the venue if using mobile DJ equipment. Hope this helps.
quick question.. what if i dont have a subwoofer how do i connect crossover to amplifier to speakers? do i connect the the low and high from crossover to one speaker?
, you need speakers that support bi-amp . Also u would need two amps , then just follow the signal flow from crossover to amps to speakers as explained in the video. if ur speakers don't support bi-amp then no point using active crossover .
For a live band, are the mics suppose to go in the the subs? Or only the the top speakers? I'm using a active crossover as well, and I noticed the mics or always weak in the subs.
Question I have an titanium mc6 mixer and 2 amps. A challenger ca 9 the updated version with 10 pairs of zransitors and 12 capacitors watted at 900 watts rms per vhannel at 8 ohms and 1350 at 4 ohms. Second amp is a joson jupitor v1 at 380 rms per channel. I want to link that as my secondary amp it will be used mostly for listening to music outside in my make shift gym with 450 watt kevler kv 450 speakers. The jupitor has the mic pre amp that i use to song karaoke with. The new amp has no pre amp so i ordered and inline pre amp so i can go right in to the mixer without the intergrated amp. Why is the signal on the mixer so weak? Its the 3 rd mixer i have had and always end up using the mic output on intergrated amp. Its a shame cause the mixer has 256 effects for mic but weak signal cannot use my high power speakers wash out the sound plugging right in to mixer. But plugging into intergrated amp has power but i no longer can use the 256 effects on amp plugging mic into 8ntergratted amp and not mixer.
iam using a traktor sound driver,by native instruments.so my friend.iam suppose to use a compressor connected to the amp?to sound deep on base + to make mid n hi cricp?
Hello AVME i have same crossover like yours and i would like to connect channel one of crossover to midrange and channel two subwoofer...how can i connect and setup.
Hello am not comfortable with the answer, get me clear... i have two Amplifiers one for sub-woofer and the other for mid range and i want channel one of the crossover to run mid-range using one amplifier and channel two of the crossover to run sub-woofer using other amplifier...........i want to know the connection and setting how to balance them on crossover.
