Seems like they’ve come a long way in twenty years. It used to be pink noise so much that bars would kick you out of the venue trying to make it work. It was unusable. Also, in a regular venue, is background noise a problem since in your quiet shop a simple fan was too much for the venue 360?
So helpful... I just got a venue... On my mixer my master fader shows a signal of zero... when it goes to the Dbx, I have to add a lot of gain from my output of my mixer... is there some kind of input pad or calibrator on the Dbx input ? My mixer is a motu b16 stagebox
Thanks. Just got a 360, and had your video playing on one laptop, side by side with my laptop running the 360 software, as I was setting it up. Have a good one, and I just sub'd. Carl
Well done! Let me know how it works after your first event is finished. Also if you have a iPad, the app makes it very easy to move around the room and make adjustments.
@@audiobuff On the Auto Feedback System, if you are using all of the same Mics, do you need to AFS, on more than one Mic, or does it also have to do with position on stage?? Thanks, Carl. P.S. hooked it up to my android tablet, and it works great.
When using the AFS, I use 10 fixed and 2 live filters. I give priority to the most important mics. In my application, the lapel/preaching mic gets 4-5 filters, and then I give the pulpit mic 4-5 as well. Most churches I work with have choirs, so I will put 2-3 filters on them. If its a vocal/instrument mic (close mic) I don't worry abut them. To answer your question, if its the same mic, using the filters on one of them is sufficient. If the speakers are correct for the application, the tuning of the system is correct, you will not need an extensive amount of filters. @@CarlsOpinion
Thanks very much for the review! One question! Could this unit be used for speakers development? If I built a monitor with three inputs, one for each way (sub, mid, tweeter), could the Venu 360 be used as the only crossover unit, automatically managing both frequency and phase shift issues allowing to achieve a "reference" flat and detailed response at the listening position? I'm asking this for the following reason: since someone would have to use some kind of software (e.g. Sonarworks) anyway, in order to fine tune the monitoring system in a given listening enviroment, why not to use a single unit to take care of everything, at the single driver level? Thanks in advance.
No, you're looking for an active crossover, and even then you'll still need to run all the calculations regarding the geometry of the box, baffle, and placement/mounting of the transducers. I'd start with a C-note kit build or something along those lines first while you study the books on loudspeaker design and engineering.
Hi, #1. Thank you for the Video & Clarity 👏👏 Question though, it looks like you also have EQ’d the two channels as well using the PA knobs (Low/MidHigh.”, etc.). Would you normally leave those “Flat” in the initial set up, & then “Tune” to the instrument ie. Vocal, Guitar, Sax, etc.?
Good question. When applying the first tuning to the speakers in the room, YES, I leave it flat. Pink noise and sine sweeps are used for the tuning of the speakers (which come from the 360). When applying the filters to pull out the feed back, I first try to get the best sound using the mixing consoles channel EQ. Then I use the audio feedback eliminator to give me more gain before feedback. Thank you for watching - more to come…
If I understand your question, when using the AFS, you place the microphones where they will be used durning the event. It is very important to “notch out the feedback” (AFS) while trying to duplicate the location and environment the mics will be used in. Side note, if at all possible, you never want any microphones in front of the house speakers. That will drastically cut into your gain before feedback (volume) levels.
Good question! I try to keep it simple for the customer and most of the time I will store the settings over preset #1 for that reason. On my rental units, I store the presets over empty locations. Thank you for watching the video-more to come!
@@audiobuff Hello, can you explain this a little more? I’m a little confused? I thought the main mixer outputs went into the DBX left and right for a stereo sound? Is this correct? Or what do you mean by “insert jacks”? Thanks.
