Crossover question help please

Post by Guitar-Sam » Thu Aug 17, 2006 2:41 am

OK first off my system:
24 channel Soundtech board
Lexicon and peavey FX units.
31 band EQ on kick drum
31 band EQ on FOH
Furman 2/3way X over
QSC 850 for mids/highs
Mackie 1400 lows
JBL 15" and horn cabs
18" scoop for lows.
Very simple setup anyways my tech was listening to the system we have and suggests that we run the mids (JBLs)fullrange as they are "fullrange" cabinets.Well I personaly don't want to put some of the lows lows in the mids cabs as its gonna bleed through to the hrons through the passive X over(I've seen it happen).But I would like to lower the xover point to the mid cabinets while leaveing the xover point to the lows(scoops)the same.

Anyways right now I have a Furman 2 way stereo 3 way mono X over.I run one side of it crossing anything from the line on the knob down to the lows and from the line up to the mids/highs.
Is it possible for me to set the X over to 3 way using the low/mid knob to X over(from the line down)to the lows.And then run the mids outta the high out put of the X over and use the mid/high knob to X over to the mids??
Meaning when in 3 way does the low/mid knob cut the lows outta the mid/high knob on the X over in 3way??Or are all the frequancies availible at the mid/high knob also.
Fallow me here? :?

Ooops never mind...............After rereading my post I realized that If I Y-cord outta the EQ into both sides of the Xover I can use the two seperate mono sides to set 2 differant X over points in 2way mode. :oops:
