Members Rickr Posted March 31, 2004 Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 Just wanting opinions. From searching it appears agedhorse and others aren't to fond of them for newbies. Is this correct? What would be your recommendation since I have no eq's, crossovers, etc. Would you still recommend individual pieces, or the driverack pa? Thanks,Rickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members B. Adams Posted March 31, 2004 Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 Depends on what you're going to be using them for, and since I can't remember your original post, I'll be guessing. For FOH, I'd go with a Driverack 260 instead of a DR PA, and make sure you know what you're doing with it before you use it to blow your speakers. For mons, I'd go with the better DBX 31 bands EQ's, 1231, 2231, iEQ 31. Not that you should ever need the feedback thing on the iEQ, but it's a nice unit. The 2231 is a good one to look at.

Members Rickr Posted March 31, 2004 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 Right now we have no eq's. My amps have crossovers built in but are set at 150 hz. Thought this was alittle high. I need to eq FOH as well as monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members B. Adams Posted March 31, 2004 Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 Oh right, I remember that now. If you've got the time to work with it before you use it, and have a knowledge of how the indivdual processors work, I would still recommend the DR260 for FOH.

Members Rickr Posted March 31, 2004 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 Do you think the 1231 is that much better than the 231, $150 more? Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scodiddly Posted March 31, 2004 Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 Originally posted by Rickr Do you think the 1231 is that much better than the 231, $150 more? I'd say so. The 231 is pretty bare-bones, including shorter sliders. The difference between the 231 sliders and the 1231 sliders will make a big difference in easy operation.

Members Unalaska Posted March 31, 2004 Members Share Posted March 31, 2004 If money is tight though, get the 231 for sure and maybe another for monitors. The xover in your amp will be ok, I'd concentrate on eq's first. I'm not a real fan of the drive rack only because the possibility to screw things up is big. Plus any eq that takes a few buttons to adjust isn't cool for ringing anything out. I'd still want a 31 band eq in front of the drive-rack for quick adjustments. The one thing we don't have on a gig is time and things that are quick and easy to adjust are best. pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
