Re: Lighting : Reliable Stand + Cans + Lasers ??

According to info I got from another site - the FLEX has the same lights as the old 4bar. So i'm going to get the 4bar TRI and probably the Eclipse and the Scorpion and a VJ quality Projector. Any thoughts or recommendations on places to buy brand new lights for the best price ?? i'm a beginner to a...

Re: Lighting : Reliable Stand + Cans + Lasers ??

THANKS for all the info guys :) I've come to the conclusion that i'm probably going to buy a 4bar FLEX which doesn't come with a stand (as far as I can tell) but has hook ups on the light brackets to mount a laser or two to the top. (is this even worth it?) BUT - I'm still trying to figure out if th...

Re: Lighting : Reliable Stand + Cans + Lasers ??

THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this thread ... its good to hear about people's real world experiences. After reading through I may just stick to my original plan and grab a 4bar and an eclipse and call it a day. Its cheap enough and it'll cover what I need ... I think. Otherwise ... are th...

Lighting : Reliable Stand + Cans + Lasers ??

hey everybody, I've been playing around with the idea of purchasing a chauvet 4 bar lighting system specifically because it is cheap and is almost enough lighting for the small venue I currently work at weekly. BUT ... after doing a bunch of reading I've heard things like "chauvet is the behrin...

Re: Crown XTi 4000 needs a compressor - dbx ???

When he had the channel fader jacked to 100% and was showing red in his meter : it sounded like the amp stuttered on and off , a couple of times, for a couple of seconds. It was short but painful sounding. It wasn't just a constant distortion buzzing through the sound.

Re: Crown XTi 4000 needs a compressor - dbx ???

OK ... so to sum it up:

Just make sure my limiter is in check and my rig will stay protected ??

- 3db or -6db on the crown dsp limiter? right now its set to -3 and he was able to make it clip a couple of times.

Re: Crown XTi 4000 needs a compressor - dbx ???

Originally i was searching for a 2nd mixer to place between my Digital DJ mixer and the Crown xti. I was searching for a mixer because last week I had another DJ plug in his controller/mixer and basically clip my amp until it nearly shut off to protect itself. In other words : The boy didn't underst...

Re: Rack + Mixer/Eq setup needed ASAP

-3db on xti4000 is way too much unless you have series drivers. You must use voltmeter to determine max gain. You lost me here ... so you're saying -3db is too much meaning that I should have set my limiters to -6db? Or off? And when you say series drivers do you mean the drivers are hooked up in a...

Re: Rack + Mixer/Eq setup needed ASAP

This is basically where i'm at right now ... I'm a total beginner with all this so please bare with me. Currently I have the limiters in my xti4000 set to -3db , crossovers are set and i've done a touch of output eq'ing to flatten out my speakers response charts. I have the subs on channel 1 and the...

Re: Rack + Mixer/Eq setup needed ASAP

Do they come in a universal size that would fit on the top of a rack on wheels or is that a special type of rack that has a spot for the mixer on top. I know next to nothing about compiling a quality "Rack on wheels" . PS. That presonus is like triple my budget ... The Yamaha looks nice bu...

Re: Rack + Mixer/Eq setup ??

Band ... however eventually it'll be used for DJ'ing as well.

He had mentioned not needing anymore than a 10 track for bands ??
