Play a test tone and the limiter will pass the signal then ramp back down to 60v. If I pump the fader up and down I can easily see 100v+ on the DMM.

What amp are you getting this with?

RMX2450, but I cant tame any of my PLX or PLX2s either.

I don't even need a meter to know the limiter isnt working. The amps are clipping, its a tell tale sign the signal is slipping past the limiter. The meter doesnt detect this with the DCX, common deduction leads me to believe its the DriveRack. This is actually a common problem with tthe DBX units, a...

3015LF is limited at 60v. I usually click it back a few volts but for purposes of this discussion, i was going for 60v. Absolutely positive its the limiter function. I've used and configured a lot of these processors so I really delved into the functions and even tried these other options. I never b...

Thanks for the replies guys. I just have to get Behringer's brand out of my racks. I had a couple fail randomly and as much as I like them for functionality I just cant trust them. I set the DBX units up the standard way, -amp gains full -run a test tone through the rig in the pass band -probe the a...

I've been using DCXs in my small systems and I need to relace them. I tried the DriveRack PA, PX, and 260 and I'm finding that the limiting is awful. I set the voltage, dial everything in and then I test the system and find that the limiter doesn't catch quick blips of audio. So basically- no good f...

Brent,

Thanks for the help, I did as you describe but the results are the same. I think you're right, this thing is useless. I can't run this with DJ's

Anybody want to buy a Driverack 260??

Brent, Raising the attack doesn't help. It's limited to 60V. My DMM is catching about 78-80V but that number varies and may not be totally accurate because my DMM isn't all that quick. That's from switching a 80hz tone on/off. Grant, Any and all help is appreciated and sometimes we all have a "...

Grant, Thanks for your response. Just to give you a little background, I've got quite a bit of experience with system processors and configuring things. I'm pretty good with a sound board and the system is setup correctly. In my first post I mention that the processor is limiting to the correct volt...

Alright here's a screenshot of the limiter for the subs (even though this happens on all the limiters) Peak stop is on, but isn't doing anything to help stop the sudden inrush that's clipping the amps. (The amp's clip lights come and the signal is clipped). So if I had a drummer slamming the kick to...

Hey Brent,

I believe I tried it with that on, and it didn't help. I'll have some time to mess with that amp rack tomorrow and will report back.

Thanks!

I'm running a Driverack 260 in my B rig now and having an issue with the limiter. I have the attack, hold, and release, set to minimal settings (what I had my DCX set to). I set the Threshold to stop my amp at 60V (where I need it for my T48's) Peakstop Off Auto Off Overshoot 0 When I run the gains ...

Michael, Total number is 16. My original 3 were sold to a member on here a while back. The idea is to have more systems in more places rather than one big system. The capacity will be a reality, but I'm not doing anything to warrant 16cabs (Yet!). Radian, What specific advantage does the top load ha...

I never really documented my last Titan build a few years ago. I regretted it because the experience was very rewarding for me. I'm out to build 8 more Titans. Hopefully I'll have these done by February, but that's a tough call. Wont be able to get started until after Christmas and NYE because I hav...

Update: Bluelinx will only sell the stuff in lifts ($3200/80sheets my price). They will not include a few pieces in a Lowes delivery for me. Hertz, you got the hook up brother.

I may just order a pallet of BB if I get down to no other options. I'd rather not because I have no where to store it, but desperate times.. and all that. I'm going to call Blue Linx today and try and pull the maneuver that Hertz pulled. I went directly to Lowes because they're usually pretty good a...
