[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1394670, member: 560358"] For $120 you can get an old school boring analog crossover that only does one trick. But for $250 shipped you get all these features. {too many to list} [URL="http://www.behringer.com/DCX2496/index.cfm?lang=ENG"]http://www.behringer.com/DCX2496/index.cfm?lang=ENG[/URL] If there is no DCX2496 and you want something good, the the DBX is cool for double the cost or spend $1000 on Rane or $3000 - $5000 on a DEQX system or $10k+ on a computer XO system. $250 gets the job done. I really like the LR 8th order slope vs. LR 4th order, it gave the line array a boost in SQ because I can run the tweeters much lower in crossover point. I'm the only one taking PT2's down to 1.7Khz whereas most other users will do 2.5 - 3.5khz using simpler crossovers. As I sweep the crossover frequency I improve imaging at the lower crossover point. I run those NSB's at LR 8th order 65hz and I'm surprised at how much bass I can get which keeping excursion low. /bonus The next feature that I use is the programmable settings. I like to use the parametric EQ to set different moods and I program those settings from mellow [setting 1] to aggressive [setting 9] .. There is alot of preset storage capability. For the line array here is an idea on what I do with it. Lets say I feel like playing mellow tunes like Diana Krall and low SPL, I load preset 1. It tames the midrange response, boosts treble and cuts alot of midbass because the line array was design with a ported box tuned to peak high at 100hz. Sounds great. Later, I throw in some Eagles and medium SPL, the sound is thin so I load preset 4, 5 or 6 to see what sounds nice. There is less EQ as I load higher numbers. Eventually if i want to kill someone, I load preset 9 which is flat.. There is no reason why a speaker or sound system can't produce a different sonic signature, people are too brainwashed into accepting one sound when you can do much more with a $250 device like this. I also add 15mS delay to one tower for a 'concert hall' effect. If the music is mellow, 25mS is nice, but for Slayer the 15mS is better otherwise the sound is slurred. /hehe [/QUOTE]
