[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 67194, member: 1285"] Re: X32 Discussion While I think it is totally doable, there are some reservations to doing this from a console. The main issue is that the console will be somewhat unpredictable; you can load a scene or reset the console and your outputs are no longer what you think, not a fault of the console, but rather a consequence of the concept of having everything routable and assignable with no way of hardlocking any particular settings. Not that this is an absolute obstacle when you are feeding subs+tops and you have the necessary protection later in the system. If you are using your x-over between mids and highs, I would say that running straight from the console is an absolute no-no, because you can find yourself sending full range to the highs and blowing them quite easily, and also on this console you have a start up pop that makes it useless for such an application. I'm planning to do the sub-tops processing in the console, and also do the split and timing for cardiosubs and end fire. However, I'm running powered tops, so I can't destroy anything if I screw up the routing in a scene change. Now, depending on your crossover make and model, you can hopefully switch presets via midi. If you can, send midi changes to the crossover from either the programmable buttons or specify midi sends in the scene changes. EDIT: If you want to do the sub-mains crossover from the console, use the parametric eq. Mains: Set eq 1 and 2 to LCut and 3 to PEQ, Q=1.8 Gain=5.0 and frequency of all three one step above x-over frequency. Subs: Set eq 5 and 6 to HCut and 4 to PEQ, Q=1.8 Gain=5.0 and frequency of all three one step below x-over frequency. That leaves you with 3 parametrics free for speaker tunings. You can obviously make a bandpass by using all six parametrics, and it certainly makes sense to add some highpass for the sub, leaving you somewhat less to play with for tunings. [/QUOTE]
