Driverack PX with Bose L1 Model 2 and Mackie HD1531

edstreme

1st post. 3 yrs.DJ with lot's of toys. Bose L1Model2 with 2 B1 bass, T1 Tonematch mixer and a proud owner of a pair of the new Mackie HD1531 3 way speakers. I just bought a Driverack PX hoping for easy set up on EQ's, Compression and getting rid of the Feedback. I always encounter feedbacks on my DJ/VJ gigs when I have a special number with a Keyboard and 1 vocalist on a shure wireless. I don't have a powered sub yet(too many choices) till Namm is over but the low end on my 3 way mains and 2 Bose B1 Subs pretty much cover the low end needed for now. Anyway, I have an Allen and Heath 16 channel Mixwizard3, RANE TTM57sl dj/vj mixer and BBE 882i Maximizer. I just need a quick pointers on my hook up and hopefully utilizing every gears I have.I don't see my speakers on the list in the manual and will I have a problem placing my Bose L1 model 2 in between my Mains? Where do I series the Maximizer in my set up? I almost forgot, I also have a DBX 266xl as a limiter. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Where do we start...

So your a DJ playing heavily compressed music and you want to add MORE compression? Not a good idea...compression can ADD to feedback problems...

Your having problems with feedback with which system? Both together?

Are you using the l1 as monitors ro something? because I have a band that has the sticks and when I do their larger gigs the guitar player has used his stick... and while it worked ok...the multiple paths and arrival times of this setup made quieter operation very difficult...

I would highly recommend loosing the BBE sonic scrambler...the Driverack makes it obsolete.

you don't need presets, you need system setup and gain structure found here:

you'll also find lots of info on auto EQ and using the driverack in the FAQ section...

Lots more info needed if you want help...you need to be specific here...

Thanks for the reply. Anyway, I played around and I think I got it sounding excellent with my A&H Mixwizard3 main out to my DBX 266xl to the BBE 882i maximizer out to the Mackie HD1531's L/R mains. i used the JBL PRX515 presets and custom set the bass or the low end. I use my 266xl to control the noise and compression as needed. I use the BBE for a quick High's and Low manual adjustment and A&H's eq's sounded awesome. I use 2 mono channels on the A&H coming from my Dj mixer Rane ttm57sl main. Since my Bose L1 have it's own T1 mixer, I just use it as my monitor and Fill in middle speaker in from Rane booth out. The only problem is the Vocal mics from A&H pick up feedbacks when the Bose is too loud.
