Hello Everyone
This thread may not go far or supersede Jene’s 400 build thread, OMG if that happen.
so to get started this is to describe how to set up and how not to set up a three-way electronic crossover system. I had grand ideas of how I was going to build this using isolation transformers for converting RCA to balance then balanced back to RCA many steps have been taken and I have a pretty good understanding of how to do it
The issue is it hasn’t worked out the way I thought. I have used Rane balance buddies for doing the conversion of RCA to XLR balanced system. At this time using these transformers I am getting a hum. This is causing much frustration in getting the deemed to be best practises type of install to work. I can get great continuity with no noise using our Pam style converters I have also purchased a Tascam balance to unbalance converter box which has it channels if I can’t get my dear balance buddies to work
before we dive into my nagging problems with the balance buddies I’d like to describe what goal is stop a few of us on the form have purchased DBX Drive rack PA2‘s to set up a true balanced system this is the electronic crossover which converts analogue to digital then back to anolog. It’s a tool I will use to set up and balance the system for equalization , crossover points phase balancing and the like. I hope to end up with a Rane AC23 crossover using the settings the PA2 comes up with.
so final goal is to have these setup including a switcher box to use both xlr and unbalance to feed as balanced inputs to the crossover
