Got a new DRPA and have a question.

sportfan1969

I recently acquired a DRPA and have a been using a Crown XLS 700 to Power two JBL MP215's (250W 2 way full range speakers) a Yahama P7000s to power two EV Eliminator I (350W 2 way full range speakers) and a Yahama P7000s to power two EV Eliminator I Subs (400W 1x18\"). I have been EQ'ing room's myself, dealing with feedback issues myself, and compressor/limiter issues myself for a few years now and am getting tired of the constant hassle of the work that the DRPA seems to be able to help correct automatically from the PDF's and Documentation I have read soo far.

The question I have is; before I hook up my DRPA, can it run 2 set's of Full Range speakers and a set of Subs even though the outputs on the rear are Marked LOW, MID, HIGH? In other words, can the Mid & High outputs have full range crossover points assigned to them both at the same time?

Luckily, all of my gear is already built into the DRPA's program so it doesn't look like there's going to be a need for custom programming. (I hope)

The MP215's are being run at a lower volume level for the Keyboard Player and The Guitar Player/Vocalist to monitor the whole mix on the stage (I know it sounds crazy but that's what they want).

Thanks to any help anyone offers up!

Yes, simply set up a 2x5 (or 6) and adjust the crossovers as you said for the mids and highs to suit your needs. You can't \"Wizard select\" the cabs in this config however. Go all custom.

Read the READ ME FIRST SECTION. Especially about using auto EQ.

PS - There are a couple of good threads about using the DRPA for mains and monitors that will let you use separate GEQ's.

DRA,

Thanks for the info, If the DRPA works like it says, or \"Like I think It Should\" it will be a HUGE time-saver and allow me to enjoy gigging again, My PA has grown over the past year from a Powered Yahama 16 Channel Mixer, 2 JBL MP215's, and two Powered JRX 118 Subs, to all that plus a Mackie 16 Channel Board, The Eliminator I Mains & Subs (Which are light years better than the Mpro & JRX stuff) but in the beginnings of the band that's all we could afford and now that we are being asked to gig more days than we can even handle and allows us to be able to afford better gear....

Thanks again, I've got to learn about the DRPA so I'll get busy. I wish there was a \"Virtual DRPA\" like the software for the 260, so I could get some \"Hands On\" while I'm at my day job...

Thanks

Gary

You know Gary,, the modules work pretty much the same, especially the PEQ's and xover section.. use the GUI to familiarize yourself with the workings of the various modules and their parameters, then go tackle the DRPA...There is no substitute for setting the DRPA on the table and pressing every button till you can navigate around the interface...use the knowledge gleaned from the GUI to set the parameters on the DRPA...

good sound is no accident...

Just another, Gary
