Soundweb, Xilica, Void or Driverack480
Thanks Bas Goiker!
Havent heard about the Soundweb or Void before, some of the Xilica models seems really nice, and not really more expensive than the Driverack 260. The 480 is a bit pricey thogh :P

Anyone tried Novas DSPs? They have one with wifi and all for remote, havent seen that on any others yet, today that should be cheap enough to implement that it should be standard on all but the cheapest crap, IMO :P

symmetrix Solus is nice too. flexible architecture, lots of modules to choose from. i think they even have an Ipad app for it.
99% of the time, things that aren't already being done aren't being done because they don't work. The other 1% is split evenly between fools and geniuses.

In driveware you can "save device". Maybe you can save that file then upload it for the rest of us to see the whole configuration. You might want to post it up on the dbx forums as well as the 260 does have brickwall limiting. The problem lies with the 260 being the most un-intuitive piece of hardware ever created. I know EE's who can't figure it out.

Just a hunch but I'm thinking there is a compressor or AGC in the input stage that is bringing your gain down to the 60v measured but on a slow attack setting allowing your transients to pass through. That previous compressor could be messing with the brickwall limiter you are trying to achieve????

For best results, point the loud end of the array towards the audience
