Re: DJ's do you set your limiters with sine waves or music ?

I will give this a shot, but this won't affect how my Mackie mixer triggers the limiter at under -4- instead of -0- right? By adjusting the output gains on the crossover you can set the driverack to show red wherever you like on the Mackie mixer. Put the mixer where you want it to show red, then ad...

Re: DJ's do you set your limiters with sine waves or music ?

What is the model # of 8 channel mixer and how are you hooking it up to the driverack? I'm asking because 6dB is the difference between balanced and unbalanced connectors and that is about the difference you are describing. Maybe something is not pairing correctly. Try your DJ mixer straight into t...

Re: DJ's do you set your limiters with sine waves or music ?

You are kinda' mixing and matching levels and cables. Use the XLR outs on the Mackie. Set the output button to +4. Use the XLR inputs on the DR. Set the button to +4 Use XLR cables from the DR to the amp. In the DR, go to the crossover section and see if the output of the subs and/or tops is set to...

Re: DJ's do you set your limiters with sine waves or music ?

A few questions on this subject: After properly setting your limiter, how hot do you want to run the input signal? Is it okay to be hitting red (lightly) on the peaks of the music (on the driverack)? On my setup, I run a small 8channel mixer between the DJ mixer and the driverack, as to give myself ...

Re: First proper outing for the rig :)

I like all varieties of electronic music, but I find that "brostep" is better for ragers than UK style, simply because it's high energy.

Not that I wouldn't love chilling in a basement with bowls and bass :mrgreen:

Re: First proper outing for the rig :)

Sample song, I've analyzed a lot of songs I would play, most being from 37 to 45 hz

edit: forgot to name it, this is "Noisia - Diplodocus (Kill the Noise remix)"

To each his own, but keep in mind it's already -3db down at 40hz with <4 titans :fruit:

From 30-35hz it's not, but from 35-40hz you're losing a LOT of the main sub frequencies used in dubstep. I would not be satisfied with the extension of less than 4 titans.

Been a while since I posted pics, been procrastinating a bunch considering I can't afford all the drivers yet! Here's where I'm at now:

Re: Power questions

I run my rig off a 2.8kva 'construction' Genny (£180 from Lidl - Honda clone). This runs 2inuke 3000 amps - one running an Otop on each side and the other running the subs (2xT30 (50V lab12) a side) - along with decks, processors, lighting etc. It does this quite happily, although it does briefly l...

Re: Power questions

Nothing I could find says any power conditioner will alter THD. I would think you would need the higher end, more expensive regulator type conditioners to maybe address THD output from your genny. While a "brownout" isn't well defined, a 10% power sag or dip is thought to equate to browno...

Re: Power questions

So because I have the voltage regulation on the genny, then all I need to worry about is the THD in the AC, and it seems like power conditioners do nothing with that? If I were to get a power conditioner, it would be a $100+ model, so I would hope that it would help the THD. My electric company says...
