Re: Need a compressor, which?
You only need the 2x4 minidsp since you're running 2.1. Check out the thread called "amp recommendations", should be easy to find with active topics button. I posted more detailed reasons there. No, the 2 fronts are 2-way actives. And there's basically no 4x10s available in Norway. I'll c...

Re: Need a compressor, which?
After rereading my previous post, it now does seem ambiguous. What I meant is that trying to compress non-bass frequencies in your signal chain in order to boost the bass levels is a bad idea. Since you already have a measurement mic, then I would recommend the minDSP even more. Well, I would proba...

Re: Need a compressor, which?
OHHH, in that case I'll give my opinion. I think it's a horrible idea trying to compress everything except the bass frequencies. For home use, I'd go for a consistent flat curve (slightly eq'ed to your liking) and let everything play through as it was recorded and meant to be played. Saying that, I...

I'm referring to peer review papers about front loaded horn theory.

Re: Need a compressor, which?
Thanks! So it's always used in the house? HT and music? Do you run it as a 2.1? Would you miss a couple/few Hz at the bottom end? Probably not, since 30Hz is -10dB compared to 38-40Hz. The miniDSP 10 x 10 looks to be expensive. It would be a shame to get it based solely on the remote having volume ...

Re: Need a compressor, which?
Cool, your own design! Love to hear how you arrived at your design and how you arrived at your voltage limit? The PA2 will allow you to employ a 24dB/octave filter, that's safer (disable your EP4000 limiters). It won't have a volume button as such. As CO said though, you can alter gain remotely. I ...

Re: Need a compressor, which?
Did the designer of the FLH's loaded with your Faital Pro's, give you that limit? FLH's place way more "pressure" on a driver. I have arrived at that limit, I designed the enclosures. It is normal convention here to have a minimum of a 24dB/octave slope on a HP, as maximum excursion occur...

Re: Need a compressor, which?
Bridged Behringer EP4000 (same output as the old Europower 2500, so 1500w-ish continuous program power) on each Faital Pro 18XL1800 (1600w AES) in front loaded horns. So excursion limits are hit at about 108 volts with highpass 12db/oct at 30hz. They can do with less of a "brick wall" limi...

Need a compressor, which?
I need two compressor settings for my subwoofer setup. And I need to know what compressor would fit the task. Cheap is ideal but I could go for something a bit up the price range assuming ofcourse it will then last forever. The required setups are: 1. No gain to any of the frequencies just limiter s...
