[QUOTE="Riley Casey, post: 215446, member: 125"] Not sure I've ever run into anyone who 'loved' VRX932s but they fill a market and inventory niche or so say my now ten year old stock of twenty two VRX. JBL charges $100 for the fabrication of each flybar and $900 for the liability attached to selling such an item to a class of users that are less self selecting in their rigging skills background than say Vertec buyers might be. Most shops that have skilled crews have done just what you did in obtaining fly frames. One thing you will likely find handy as you use your VRX system is the option to adjust not only level as JBL suggests but also EQ of different boxes depending on their location in the array. A simple 4 x 8 DSP box like an Ashly 4.24 works well for this. In my experience this yields better results than using the back panel switches. No need for a high end DSP with all pass filter capacity. Bi-amping can put you further down that granular adjustment road but there is some diminishing returns to be found there as the internal crossovers remain in circuit when biamping. I've long wanted to try bypassing the internal crossovers entirely and connect the drivers directly to the amp outputs and make some tests but my curiosity has yet to overcome my lack of time ( aka laziness ).
