Re: JBL SRX / QSC PL236 underpowered?




I'm going for 'rock' as Genesis are a rock band, albeit one of the prog genre.


This comes back to what a previous post said - the system should be designed for the application, not the other way around. Again I agree. So I guess what I'm asking here is, "what should I expect if I use 4 subs and 2 tops?" I only did that once, back when the band had 4 subs. It sounded muddy to me. Ergo, you're suggesting that as sound engineer for this band, my preference is 2 tops and 2 subs.




I agree. I'm beginning to think I was unwise to trust the band when they told me the DriveRack PA was properly configured and didn't need touching. The amps were incorrectly configured when I got to them because they had a 50Hz LCF switch in on the tops. I think possibly the amps were switched around in the rack when the rack was changed to a better flight case.


I'm more than happy to check the settings against the tunings sheet myself though. So, good advice. Thanks.  :)
