Members ned911 Posted January 25, 2009 Members Share Posted January 25, 2009 Was thinking about using my NX35's instead of the SRX715's at the small club we play next month - I've got a hernia so let's carry the lightest stuff we have. The NX35's are rated at 350 program and the XTI puts out 650 at 8ohms. Should I limit the power in the amp for speaker protecting? Where should I cross these over? and any EQ? It's been a long time since we used the NX35's as they were being used as wedges in rehearsal. 3 piece cover band, guitar/bass direct and acoustic drums with only kick mic'd for this venue. Sub is a ES700P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mogwix Posted January 25, 2009 Members Share Posted January 25, 2009 I wouldn't worry too much about it, just don't go crazy with 'em. You've got more power than you need, but that doesn't mean you'll be using all that power... right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ned911 Posted January 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2009 Definitely not using all the power. Normally with the 715's and 1 ES700P the master faders on the Mixwiz are only about halfway up. With the XTI I can limit the output power too.

Members agedhorse Posted January 25, 2009 Members Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yes, you will really want to limit the power to around 250-300 watts (max) RMS at 8 ohms. Otherwise an accident may leave you wishing you had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ned911 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2011 Actually got a gig where we need to bring minimal PA. So it's NX35's with either the XTI4k or a QSC2402 and no sub. If I use the XTI anyone have suggestions for EQ settings and X-over points and slope type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I use the XTI anyone have suggestions for EQ settings and X-over points and slope type. I used my NX350's (old version of the NX35"s) twice without subs and they worked okay BUT then the third time I used them without subs it was really NOT okay. So I would suggest you bring a sub unless the gig is really, really small. Everytime I've used them since, I've used a sub and been happy - within my expecttion of those boxes. For gigs of 100 or so, I just used a small powered sub aux fed, and rolled off the bottom on the main graph - combat audio style. If you are using a crossover (and you might as well) don't cross those subs over too high, I think the 90 to 100hz region would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members twostone Posted August 13, 2011 Members Share Posted August 13, 2011 Why not just use one side of the amp and run mono then daisy chain the NX35's it's what I do with my PLX2502 and I would x-over the little Yorkie sub between 90-95 hz. My old rig was NX35's with LS700P's along with a DBX 223 set to 95 hz.I moved the NX35's and PLX 2502 to monitor duty now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ned911 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2011 The only subs we have are a huge Carvin and 2 KV2 EX2.2's. There is virtually no parking so the trailer stays home and load in/out is horrible. There is no need to mic the drums and the bass amp can carry that.

Seen you had listed a ES700P though it was the older Yorkiville ES700P which is now their LS models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I thought you were using a Yorkville ES700P and that there was no bass amp because you said the bass was going direct. I also thought you said you needed to mic the kick. But, if none of that is happening, you should be okay with just the NX350's, but watch your power. I have miced kick with those alone, but it's not going to sound "subby".
