Hi guys, I've done some reading but people seem gloss over some of the details.
I want to go ahead and run a digital cross-over like the berringer or some other unit. My understanding is that the make the speaker more efficient and greatly increase the sound quality and allow for some very extensive EQing.
Does anyone know of a walk-through on how to do this? I'm guessing I have to make quite a few modifications to the existing cross-over network to disable its effects.
Also I am guessing that I have to bi-amp the speakers.
If bi-amping is a must is it important to have 4 identical channels or is it ok 2 have say 2 different 2 channel amps from the same company? I have B&Ks best 2CH and one of their higher end but not the same 2CH and then I also have a 5CH. The 2CH amps don't have gain control but I'm guessing I can adjust that in the cross-over anyways.
What other benefits can I look foreword to with digital xo? Is the only downside the perceived downside of utilizing all the chip amps inside the xo?
What XO do you guys recommend? My understanding is that the berringer is compatible with the software you use to measure the speakers and set the EQ. Are there others?
I'm on a budget so this seems like a better idea than redesigning and rebuilding the current passive network.
Thanks
