This concluded approximately 30m of research on whether or not I should get a crossover for our band's PA, and the answer is YES! Thanks! Can't wait for our mains to stop trying to push massive bass through them!
This is from an article I read which kinda make sense, " Most active crossover networks are adjustable. That means by turning a knob or moving a switch, you can change the crossover frequency. This flexibility makes active crossovers suitable for use with almost any speaker system. Most active crossovers also include level controls, so you can easily fine-tune the level of the midrange and tweeter to compensate for different mounting locations. Active crossovers don’t care how powerful your amplifiers are because they process the signal before it enters the amplifier. Active crossovers are also not very sensitive to temperature variations, so they can be very accurate, all the time. If one of the amplifiers channels in an active crossover system clips, the distortion only affects that single channel." So, if you have a mismatch set, using an active xover might work for you. It sure does for me.
Instead of just standing up talking to us about it could you SHOW us using your own speakers! You should watch others' vids to learn how to teach better using demonstration. I still thumbs up your vid!!
Probably a dumb question but, i have powered tops and passive subs. Im having issues with sound only really coming out of the horn on the tops. Any advice?
chetvoxx you would want to just mic the kick drum, as it is really the only sub centric item on the kit, and then eq it, taking out the highs and mids, to minimize their presence in the tops. This is not the ideal way to mic a kick drum however. Many believe the sub frequencies are what they desire, when actually, it is the high mids, (around 1200~2.5k) that provide the kick drum’s definition in a mix.
some powered speaker have build in crossovers, I like to by pass that and use an external crossover, how can I do that? I want to do that because I feel the build in crossover doesn't cut how I want it. can some one help.
Hi Sir! how to use the following in one 31 bandEQ: 1. Powered Speaker 2. Monitor Speaker 3. Powered Subwoofer 4. Crossover (if needed) 5. Audio Mixer Thanks a lot!
my question to you is, I have two ev zlx 12p and I also have a three ways crossover which I will not get rid of would it be better to hook them up on the mid section on on the high section?
kuna D if you have a switch on your cross over to turn it into a two channel, that would be best. Otherwise, run it from the mids and sweep the high pass as far up as it will go, to get all the highs you can. If it’ll go up to say 5k, it shouldn’t sound too muffled. You just don’t want a gap between the subs and tops.
Out of mixer to an active crossover.then set you mid tops to the mid high out of crossover and active sub to the low out. See manuals for crossover point for sub, this wY only sub signal goes to the sub and not mid top. If more help needed as I for email
Hiya how do I wire up my mission speakers, the problem is the speakers have 4 terminals 2 reds & 2 black wires for each speaker making 8 wires nedded for both speakers but my stereo only has 2 terminals meaning I can only wire up 4 to the stereo 2 reds 2 black, any help would be greatly appreciated 😋
YES! Thank you for this video (and for keeping it short and to the point). Just what I needed. Good work

Hell no I don’t need to know nothing else this video is green 5 star ⭐️ 😎

Bro. Sanchez TV I could do that, if I had any of this stuff. I personally use software daw’s or other types of digital gear for my own setups.
@@3minutegenius571 The video is fine - you hit the nail on the head - no need to show your speakers

I have EV 15 powered mains and 15 powered sub. How do you take away the drums from the mains. I wanted to just hear it at the sub.

Get further into detail please
I have wharfedale sups and hi all powered speakers how do I use crossover?
Good day sir i have powered speaker and powered sub how to use crossover and connect?
Out of mixer to an active crossover.then set you mid tops to the mid high out of crossover and active sub to the low out. See manuals for crossover point for sub, this wY only sub signal goes to the sub and not mid top. If more help needed as I for email
Tells you to ask questions in comments , then doesnt answer a single on in 5 years. lol
