Settings for Yorkville NX-55P & LS-720P

count_chocolat

Hello folks,

I am running a fully powered system for my band.

A & H Mixwizard 16:2 to the DriverackPA in a 2 x 4 config, the speakers are 2 NX55P and 2 LS-720P. I am very pleased with the sound quality of the speakers. I was just wondering if any of you in Driverack land have any settings to share. The only parameters I have set so far is the crossover, which is at 100Hz and the gain structure.

Thanks

What more are you looking for? In a system with a passive crossover in the speaker, and amps do all of the rest processing for you.. even your HPFD for the woofer...

Gadget is right. The NX55P has the \"tunings\" built in.

Well initially I purchased the Driverack to use the AutoEQ, however as I learn more it would seem that it may not be suitable for some of the rooms.

What I was looking for in this post was mostly crossover gain settings and slopes...

And if someone had any settings for these speakers using the driverackPA!

If I understand your comments, the Yorks have all the tunings built in and I should just use the internal crossovers in the subs and go without the DriverackPA?

Thanks

You could not use the DRPA, but you loose quite a bit of control. it would be easy to set the 55P , but the subs has a variable filter and would be mostly guess work.

On the sub set the input to -0-. Set the filter to 150hz.
On the 55P set the input to -0-. Set the mixer to OFF. Set the rolloff filter to 60hz (out).

Set up the DRPA as a 2x3 or 2x4 (your choice).
Set the EQ to stereo linked.
Speakers as \"Custom - passive\".
Sub as \"Custom\".
All amps to \"Custom\".

Enter X-over and set up
subs 45hz BW 18 & 100hz LR 24
tops 100hz LR 24

Does that help?

I have a 250P and a 25P that I use for monitors and they sound really nice even without the processing and the power of the 55P. I would consider and even trade if you wish.

Thanks for the settings but I would have to say no thanks on the trade offer! :P
Is you crossover gains set the same for you tops and subs? Do you use the default 0db?

Gadget

Absolutely not...Set the variable Lopass filter @ 150 hz (on the subs) and use the DRPA to set the crossover point, and slope. I would suggest around 100 hz as Dra suggests just so you get better lo mid performance out of the tops. I would suggest the \"New indoor method\" of auto EQ and set up a flat system top and store it in a prominent location....

All this info and more are in the FAQ section. Go there and read you'll see plenty of things the DRPA can do for you.

Gadget, IF the top cab's filter were set to 100hz (let suppose LR24)instead of 60hz and the DRPA filter were 100hz LR24 as well, does LR24 on top of LR24 = LR48? Or something else?

Choco, Yes, to start with, set the x-over gains to -0- as well. Though, if one cab (tops or subs) is over powering the other it would be better to adjust the input levels on the cab. If one goes into limiting, turn the other one up. PLAY! PLAY! PLAY!
