Nice looking speakers. Is this a DIY? I've seen similar around. I can't comment on the DRPA2 but I have used a BBE DS24 digital crossover on my home system. Magnepan MMG's and Yamaha self powered subs. Worked fine. I found at least for me the -10dbu wasn't an issue from my home receiver. Preamp out to the BBE DS24 , highs back to power amp in on the receiver then lows on the crossover out to the subs. I did plug it into the receiver for power and it was very quite for what it was. I see the DRPA2 as a better product so you should have good luck. I found XLR to rca adaptors on
ebay for a reasonable cost.

Appreciate the input, I know how so called audiophiles (no disrespect to anyone, just from what I read on forums) dislike or detest using any type of Equalization or Technology to gain a better overall sound out of a 2 channel system, same dilemma with the use of a sub woofer also in a 2 channel.
For some reason if I engage the -10dbu, I get a slight hum, so I have kept it in the pro setting +4dbu and have no humming distortion problems, with that said.
And to answer a post before yours, my objective was to use the DR PA2 as a active crossover for my speaker system, (previously I was using a Samson S3 crossover), as it being a line array Bi-amped system , (and to answer a question if it was a DIY,,, no it was not, I have a audiophile friend who has a buddy who is a electrical engineered and built these (originally for a dance studio),cabinets were all cnc'd to perfection and they are running (28- 6.5" woofers and 28 Motorola 3.5" peizo tweeters), my buddy already replaced his Maggy 3.6's with another set of these array systems out of the 3, .
My System is running Denon 4400A monoblocks which powers the Highs,(amps gain turned down), Carver A400X for the mid woofers and a REL Ole Brittania B1 that still digs deep(15+hz ) , all XLR connections, (XLR to RCA for the Carver amp), everything else XLR
When running the Samson, I also incorporated an Audio Control old gem C-101 Octave EQ and RTA calibrated, really appreciated the sound, just when It needed a minor brightness adjustment I had to get up and do what ws necessary, so I investigated the dbx DR PA2 from peoples high praise in the pro community, granted i know I was not going to allocate all of the DRPA2 features into a home 2 channel system, I could benefit from the ones I needed , such as a cool App that can be calibrated on the fly with a tablet or phone (tablet for me). After running and adjusting for couple days I almost twice now just said F,IT, and re hooked up the Samson S3 due to its simplicity and analog flair, but I keep talking myself into giving the DR more time so I can get more of a learning curve for the equipment.
With that said, I am surprised I have not found any dbx user forums to fall upon, or at least I cant find, I noticed some forums were discontinued, and if anyone has any suggestions I would be greatly appreciative.
Safe and Blessed New Year to all.
