[QUOTE="Daniel lussier, post: 216477, member: 15501"] Ima relatively new sound guy with their own PA system, I do mostly metal and hard core shows and would love some advice and tips. Here’s what I have, here’s what I use, and here’s what I want in the future. I own and use two new jbl eon 715s Two 18 passive subs (B&C 18sp76 8ohm 600w nominal 1200w continuous) Powering the subs with a 2 channel qsc xls 3402 parallel mode sending 700 watts @8ohm each channel to both subs 30hz + clip protector on Behringer xpro crossover stereo 2 way 3 way crossover with mono sub out, Yamaha emx16 powered mixer 16chanel +4 out put 100’stage snake. 2 Sennheiser e609 guitar mics 3 Sennheiser e604 drum mics 1 shure beta 57a for snare Vocal mics vary but I have shure 58s shure pg48s and some audio technicas And a 52a kick mic I also own two jbl jrx 125 (jrx 100 series) Two mackie fr2500 power amps Mackie cfx16 mkii mixing board I want to start using. My next investment was going to be the two powdered jbl eon 718s to match my two tops A Behringer x producer + digital stage box My next gig is an out door/indoor skate park so I was going to bring the jrx 125s and use my jbl eon 715s as stage monitors and I always use my subs at gigs Usually I use the crossover on stereo two way and send the mono subwoofer out to my qsc run in parallel mode crossing over 120hz (b&c18sp76 40hz-2000hz response) And sending left right high up to my jbl eon 715s but for my jrx 125s, I’d either do 100hz to the subs 100hz and uo to the jrx. The mackie cfx16 mkii board I want to use over the yamaha emx sending the eon 715s full range signal and usuing the built in crossover at 80 or 60hz and using the mono sun out of the mackie cfx at 75hz to the qsc parallel input sending only 75hz to my subs so I don’t even need my crossover unless I use my jrx’s as mains. Then I’d do the same thing expect I wouldn’t use the sub out on the board is just use the crossover I forgot to mention the 1 mackie fr2500 to power both jrx’s at 4 ohms each channel 750w I always use low cut expect for kick and bass on everything Vocalists are always clipping pre fader so I never use gain so I’ll use the pads on thoes channels Tom mics clip a lot too. Guitar mics I don’t even use if the guitarists don’t wanna lower their stage volume (sucks to suck vocalist sorry I can’t turn you up. You’re competing with your own band and I tried to say it lol) I’ll shut the guitar mics right off. I DI IN bassists through a DI box or the di out of their head and again depending on stage volume I only add hi end on kick and try not to do any other Eq at all always taking away rather than adding cause clipping. I’d love some eq advice, attention advice, gear advice with what I own and plan to get that I listed above please and thank you! I’m friends with lots of these bands too and their all not complete meat heads. Gear is usually pretty top tier. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
