EQ guys are using on their cabs/systems. A good starting place if you don't have your own RTA.

MEQ-230 added to my rig and WOW !!!

#1 Post by djtrumptight »

So i have been contemplating adding my MEQ-230 equalizer to my rig because my DCX-2496 didnt seem to be giving me enough EQ to satisfy my taste.I added the MEQ,made a mirrored EQ curve opposite of the DR 250 SPL chart and OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!! Until today i had never really heard the full potential of my DR's,then my wife left home !!!! I ran about 20 volts into just the melded arrays and was truly blown away but stuck,for 5 hours,just listening to music and being blown away by the instruments i had never heard clearly in certain songs b4.I also set the low end of the EQ for the benefit of subs.I high passed the DR's down to 50 hz and added the port extensions,the bass was better than i ever knew my DR's to be capable of,just as good as any full range speaker of its size.Again,i am blown away,i feel like i opened Pandora's box and found some goodies !!!! I cant wait until my next gig with all 4 DR250's,i will report back,i can see the sh*@ eating grin on my face already,as well as whoever hires me :loler:

Way to go :)

Also, nice to read your mini review on HP @50 with the port extensions and how the DR's sound then...
That's the first I've seen of a positive report when doing this, and in part, why I picked DR 250 over Otops.
A little more tweaking may be in order with your 4 DR's, as the response flattens...

DR 250: x 2 melded array, 2x CD horn, March 2012 plans.
T39's: 4 x 20" KL3010LF , 2 x 28" 3012LF.
WH8: x 6 with melded array wired series/parallel.
Bunter's Audio and Lighting "like"s would be most appreciated...
