Hi from newbie :D

Wonder if I could make configuration on my driverack 260 for Seeburg Acoustic line K24xov louspeaker tops...

I found prefered settings on their official web page, as follows:

#K24xov Flat
fullrange
gain +0dB
phase nor
power 4R 900W 2400W 32dB
rmstime 500ms
peaktime 50ms

hpf BW12 100Hz
peq 90Hz Q1.5 -6dB
peq 315Hz Q3 -4dB
peq 380Hz Q3 -8dB
peq 750Hz Q3 -6dB
peq 1000Hz Q4 -3dB
peq 1600Hz Q2.5 -2dB
peq 2500Hz Q6 +6dB
peq 3400Hz Q6 -1dB
peq 10000Hz Q5 -4dB
peq 16000Hz Q4 +6dB
hshelf 12 4000Hz +1dB

As you can see, there are 10 peq points, hpf and hshelf.
Driverack 260 is 9 band PEQ pre-crossover.

What do you suggest?

Thanx in advance :)

    9 of the 10 PEQ filters can be set in the pre-x-over PEQ section.
    The 10th can be set in the post-x-over PEQ section. You have 4 filters there.
    The high and low shelves can be set in the post-x-over PEQ section or with the x-over filters.

    You didn't mention if you re using subs, but it appears that you are with the 100hz hpf. That may change my recommendation.

    rmstime 1000ms
    peaktime 100ms
    hpf BW12 45Hz
    lpf LR24 100Hz / 120Hz /140Hz
    peq 45Hz Q2 +3dB
    peq 80Hz Q2 +1dB
    peq 200Hz Q0.7 -5.5dB

    First off, I was surprised how much the 200 & 270 filters affected the response below the 100hz x-over point. For that reason, all filters that are anywhere close to the x-over points MUST be applied to the post-x-over PEQs. You don't want the filters designed to fix the tops to affect the subs and visa-versa. The others that are farther away will be applied to the pre-x-over PEQs.


    1: Set up the x-overs.
    Sub: 45hz BW12 - 100hz LR24
    Tops: 100hz BW12 - 18khz BW12 or similar to suit.

    2: Post-x-over PEQ (low)
    Select "Bell" and set the 4 PEQs for the sub. (45 - 270)

    3: Post-x-over PEQ (high)
    Select "High shelf" and set the 3 lowest settings to bell filters 1, 2, & 3. (90, 315, 380). Filter 4 is the shelf. Set the 4K shelf here. I interpreted the 12 as the slope.

    4: Pre-x-over PEQ
    Set filters 1-7 for the 750 - 16K settings.

    That leaves 2 filters for you to season the sound to your own tastes.
