[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 41702, member: 30"] Re: Crossover vs EQ: Help me understand. That reminds me of an actual gig I did years ago. No names will be used to protect those involved. The gig was a 3-4000ish civic center. The gig wasa hardcore metal type show. The PA was up and running when the band arrived. The first words out of his mouth were (and I remember them clearly) "MAN, I bet this PA kicks ass--(pause)--in a small club-but it won't do shit in this room". Nice to meet you to. It's gonna be a long night. So when his band comes on, I am back at FOH, expecting him to try and kill the PA. After a couple of songs (and me knowing the system would do more), I checked on the amps and they were just fine. I went to FOH and told him he could come up a good bit if he wanted. He said he was fine with the level. Now that PISSED me off. You insult my rig like that and then don't try to blow it up?????? He is supposed to try and blow it up, and it is my job to stop him. That's the way of the sound world. Nice video BTW-and very true. Ignorance does not make people better than you. You mean you ask them whether they mean the electrical or acoustical crossover point is 80Hz? yeah-that is a bit over most "engineers" heads. They think the crossover "stops" the sound at the freq it is set at. Oh well---------------- [/QUOTE]
