Re: Anyone have Crown CTS series experience?

If you're good with the weight and you can get the DSP in 'em, then go for it. But definitely build a rack panel and don't try to use pigtails for those connections.

Just be sure that you use a voltmeter to test the limiting to make sure it clamps down tight for your subs.

Re: Anyone have Crown CTS series experience?

Are you sure they are all CTS models? I didn't see any of those models with any option for DSP.

Re: Industry Standards to Turn Everything On/Off

Definitely more useful for permanent install. Those in particular are nice when powered speakers are high on wall mounts or flying and you can’t get within arms reach of the cabinet. That's what this venue was using them for. Of course they could have fixed all of their problems for no money....jus...

Re: Anyone have Crown CTS series experience?

I've been looking at the manual. This section concerns me.... Q. Mode Switch This two-position switch is used to select the amplifier’s mode of operation: Dual or Bridge Mono. Dual mode is used for 2/4/8 ohms, for 70V operation with the CTs 600/1200, and for 70/100V operation with the CTs 2000/3000....

Re: Industry Standards to Turn Everything On/Off

I came across something I hadn't seen before at a venue here in town. Looks like Furman has some remote on/off switches that are for being distributed around the room. Pretty expensive.

They are two outlet boxes. Especially good for situations with powered speakers.

Re: Anyone have Crown CTS series experience?

They aren't used in live sound because of the connectors. Molex type input instead of xlr and small binding post instead of the large ones or Speakon. They don't have any interal processing. Just the highpass switches and input options on the back. I've found just the opposite to be true on pricing ...

Re: Greetings from WV.

You can build all you want for yourself with the CD. When building for someone else, just have them purchase the plans for whatever they need on a case by case basis. I've done this a few times. I don't know what the particulars are on becoming an authorized builder.

Re: Behringer X32 Rack to Replace dbx Driverack 260 +Behringer XR18?

With standard front loaded subs, what you described will work. I'd be very cautious though, trying to limit with the board....too much chance for error. You'd have to start from a master scene every time to ensure that your limiter parameters carry forward. One little mistake and your folded horn su...

I will 100% be doing a driver fit test, driving the RECEX screws in, before adding panels, forgot to mention that. Predrill the screw holes in the blocks first, before driving the screws in, okay? Got it. I've always used 3/4" brads - set to the deepest setting. 1" can go through two thic...

Design it so that you can stack 4 if the going is easy, but only stack two if there are steps and make two trips.

Absolutely......and it's actually much quicker. You can do 2-3 passes pretty quick and not burn up the router or the bit.
