That's normal. I've found that a sine wave will max out the amp far quicker than pink noise or program material. My last go at setting this all up was done using a combination of the three, but mostly program material. I set the limiters on the tops using pink but then used several different tracks ...

Awesome. More info / data is always appreciated. :D I ended up testing with 60Hz for lows and 1000Hz for highs. I'm far less worried about the highs since the amp is more or less matched to them in the first place and I don't have to go anywhere near clipping on the amp for them to be loud enough. T...

Thanks for the info. It's been a lot of help in understanding what's going on. I did some experimenting with it last night and I think I'm starting to figure it out. The meter didn't really have a problem with pink but it was definitely more responsive to the 60Hz sine wave (and easier to measure). ...

I plan to spend some time this weekend setting up my DR260's limiter to protect my freshly repaired subs. It's been recommended that I run a 60 or 80Hz sine wave through it, then measure output voltage from the amp. I have a couple of questions about that. First, is there any advantage to using pink...

How many people are in the room during the "boomy" part, and how many are there when the "bottom end fills out"? About the same, a few people milling around. Most people were hanging around the bar, which was through a large opening in another room. It never really went from emp...

That's a bit odd. An hour either way on the break in does not make much difference. I measured a little over +2dB from "out of the box" to "100 hours of use". Not nothing, but hardly enough to have the effect that you noted. If this was the first use, I would guess that over the...

Tonight, I ran my two Tim Ard built T39s for a dubstep / drum 'n' bass party and have never gotten more complements on them. They're 13" internal width and 8 ohm BP102 loaded. I ran them off half a QSC GX5 amp, using a DR260 for a crossover / limiter. They were corner loaded. The club usually h...
