[QUOTE="Brian Ingwell, post: 107116, member: 890"] Re: Crown V-Rack "120v" vs "208" volt settings Along the lines of Tim's post, suppose you are going into a venue with a V-Rack and a three phase distro and the venue only has split phase power. If the show was low-key enough - think small classical jazz show, talking heads with speakers on sticks, etc. - you could jump two legs together at the distro and make things happen if you were running 120V leg-neutral. Not so much with things set for 208V leg-leg. I know this is not ideal and understand very clearly the concept of overloading the neutral in this situation. However, we have racks with three PLM10000Q 120V amps in them wired to L21-30's, and on occasion, we will do this if the situation is not going to come close to overloading anything. Obviously you're not going to do this if you're doing a metal show with all three amps on sub duty. YMMV. Regards, Brian [/QUOTE]
