[QUOTE="Peter Morris, post: 125032, member: 652"] Re: Favorite Stage Monitor Its interesting to compare Turbosound's TMW115/112 with the d&b M4/6. Both use VERY similar drivers with a similar enclosure. The d&b has a simple crossover with only 2 capacitors and 2 inductors. The aim is to cross the LF and HF smoothly (amplitude & phase) but not to flatten the total amplitude response. The DSP in the D12 does that. That way you can take advantage of the efficiency of the HF driver minimizing the power your amplifier needs. The result is a passive wedge that performs almost like a bi-amped wedge on a much less powerful amplifier than you would otherwise need. Nexo use this trick with their PS15s. In contrast Turbo have flatten the amplitude response with a much more expensive and complex passive crossover (see below). You don’t need a special amplifier and DSP. You would expect it would cost more, but in my market it’s 1 / 2 the price … If you want that little bit of extra performance that a DSP can offer, you can run it bi-amped … still much cheaper than the d&b. You pay a lot for a good wedge with a brand name! [/QUOTE]
