Thanks Alan, I have a mixer that has sub mixes and also eight aux outputs for the first eight channels. I have an 8 channel snake that I run from those aux outputs to the 2488 which works well. I have thought about doing the vocals to a submix like you have said and you are right about getting...

Hi Alan, Ideally I will have four mics on the drums, kick, snare, toms and cymbals. Because of the 8 channels however I mic the following (we are a 4 piece and all sing fyi) Lead guitar + vocal Rhythm guitar + vocal Bass + vocal Kick drum + vocal I do pick up a lot of the drums through the...

Hi All, A couple things, I have been using my 2488 to record my band live and have really been enjoying it. Is anyone else using it for that purpose? Only drawback is you can record only 8 channels at a time but it works for us. I was thinking of running a small mixer for the drums mics and...

Hi All, I have a Behringer 2442fx mixer and a Behringer mutlicom4600 compressor/limiter as well. I want to use it as a limiter and am not so concerned with the compression. I am concerned about high peaks and the ability to control them. Specifically, I want to limit the drums (kick snare)...

Hey All, I am looking for some good country songs for my band to cover with a walking bass. I can think of a couple: Next broken heart Brooks and dunn I Can't be bothered Miranda Lambert Any others? Thanks! Fenderdude

Hey all, I have a question regarding drums. I currently have a 8 channel board that I run vocals through and also bass during live performances. We are a four piece band and don't usually mic the guitars (2 of them). I have just purchaed a drum mic kit. I would like to run the bass/kick drum...

No problem Rak, I run it like this, Crossover to 2 amps to the 2 sets of cabs. I run the other set of cabs through the Crate PA (they are full range) I may get another amp for the crossover but this way seems to sound good. I guess it is doubling the some of the lows and highs somewhat but...

What do you mean by "filters"? I have a nady two channel crossover with a sub out. I hooked up my subs and other speakers for the first time today in my garage. I was pleasantly surprised! I tried a few combinations and finally decided on the following: I have two 18" subs, I have a...

Hey all, I am going to start using a external active crossover for some subs and FOH speakers. I was wondering if anyone knows some good settings for these, i.e. at what point should I set the high/low cut filters? Thanks Fenderdude :p

Another question, what are good settings for an outboard crossover? Thanks Fenderdude

Thanks Adam, I understand your point, here are the specs on the Behringer amp I have also...20 Hz - 20 kHz @ 0.1% THD, both channels driven: 8 Ω per channel 260 W 4 Ω per channel 400 W 1 kHz @ 0.1% THD, both channels driven: 8 Ω per channel 280 W 4 Ω per channel 450 W 2 Ω per channel 700 W...

Ok, here are the specs on the speakers I use. The FOH ones say 150 rms 600 watts peak. The subs I am getting are 300 RMS and 600 watts peak. I plan to use the Behringer 1500 for the subs, one to each channel. Anyone see any problems? Also, if the subs have an internal crossover and I am...

Thanks, here are the specs for the Crown, I'll have to dig up the ones for the speakers.... 1 kHz with 0.5% THD Stereo, 2 ohms (per ch.) Stereo, 4 ohms (per ch.) Stereo, 8 ohms (per ch.) Bridge-Mono, 8 ohms Bridge-Mono, 4 ohms 250W 200W 145W 400W 500W

I don't understand why it would be "underpowering" the cabs. Wouldn't it be pushing more wattage at 4 ohms thereby providing more power to the cabs?

Yes, that is what I am planning, currently, I just run one 8 ohm cab from each channel. But if I piggy back another set of 8 ohm, it will push 4 ohms on each channel right? So it would look like this. Channel A banana clip piggy backed to another out to two sets of 8ohm cabs. (4 cabs x two...

Ok here goes, the amp I am referring to is a "all in one" type powered mixer. It is a Crate PCM 8DP+(8 channel). It has two internal amps (each one has two outputs for a total of four) I use one set for a pair of FOH speakers and one set for monitors. I also use that as the head and run...

So when you stack banana plugs on the same channel, they are hooked up in parallel?

Ok, cool. Now here's another, I have a Behringer 1500 amp. I use the "banana" connectors to power two FOH speakers. Are those wired in parallel as well? I know you can piggy back them, that would be "bridging" right? It gives a heck of a lot more power that way?

Ok, thanks for all the info folks! So in other words, if I hook up two 8ohm speakers to my amp (one to each channel) and the outputs on the amp are wired in parallel, the amp will see 4 ohms? Is this correct?

Hey everyone one of my power amps reads the following in the manual: The (output) jacks are wired together in parallel. The internal amplifier of the can deliver its full power output into as little as 2 ohms. The chart below can help determine the total impedance load when connected to various...
