biamp crossovers in dub stage

docsun · 20th February 2008

Hi,

First some words to say that I often read posts in this forum, and find them really helpful. Thanks a lot for that, guys !

Question : we are looking for good and reliable crossovers, to manage our bi-amp passive speakers, in order to replace our old ones in our main dubstage.

Do you use some good products, that you could recommend ?

All the best.

I have a set of Ranes that have worked flawlessly for 10 years (knock on wood).

We use these :

Protea 3.24CL Speaker Processor - Ashly Audio

Protea 4.24C Digital Crossover/ System Processor - Product Information

work great, sound great and are reasonably priced.

interface with 9-pin and a PC is a piece of cake.

But you should also look at what BSS has to offer -- Omnidrive etc.

BSS Audio FDS-366T

Hi,

thanks a lot for your answers. I'll have a look on the BSS. The ones I have for the moment are the Rane, but I suspect them to "move" ( a few weeks ago we lose 3 db on our center channel

) . We also have a DME32 for EQs, maybe it also have some problems.... hard to find which's guilty.

I have another question : for those here who own a Dolby CP650, do you have it plugged just before the amps ? If so, don't you stress with the monitoring level of your mixing board ? (always have to be sure that you are at 85 .....

)

Thanks

We're using the DBX Driverack 260. We have 3 of them for the 5.1 main speakers. Very good, user friendly with a PC interface, and they sound great.

Bigger DBX units have more inputs/outputs. The DR260 have 2 ins for 6 outs.
