Hi folks, I am upgrading the mains in a small-narrow club room with a set of recently traded KF850EFs. Pretty small room with a pair CV 2x18 subs so it should work out ok speaker wise, not ideal but ok.

My questions relate to processing and amping. We currently have two QSC MX3000a and two QSC MX1500a to work with, in the EAW specs they propose that all recomended settings assume the same voltage-gain...First question, do these amps have the same or similar VG? I was planning on using one of the 3K's for the subs, one for the LFs, a 1.5k each for the mids and highs running in stereo, can I use the recomended (EAW) gain settings or should I be calculating the difference in power output for the smaller drivers? Second question...We do not have the budget or practical need for a UX8800, what is a decent affordable DSP for this limited application?

Any insight would be very helpful.

Thanks,

If the UX8800 isn't in the budget, get the UX3600 for the tops and do whatever you've been doing for subs. The UX3600 can be found for $1100 new, and less if you can find one used.

They have different gains ... 3000 - 38dB of gain, 1500 - 34 dB of gain.

Processor - if you can't afford a UX8800 as John said get 3600, and use the Focus settings, its worth it.
