Hello all CS2 owners,
Sorry if I haven't searched hard enough, I'm curious to know how the compression driver is employed in the cross over. Is the parametric eq set to off and x-over point at about 1Khz with some form of degital delay dialled in to compensate for its physically more rear than the 15" woofer? What about the woofer's parametric eq? I would think (speculate) that given the fact the DCX2496 does not like it's eq to be set to positive gain, so I would assume the eq is set at perhaps 6dB per octave slopping down starting like 100hz to the x-over point of the tweeter. Am I right?
On a side note perhaps an improvement that can be made to the CS2 is to make it 2.5 ways (i.e. using 6 channel amp), so essentially the lowest woofer is cut off at about 100hz, the middle woofer is cut off at 1khz and the tweeter takes over. With this type of setup I would think the mid range will be less bloated and it'll achieve a better tighter more realistic vocal mouth size.
Cheers.
That sounds definitely like a good question to ask Clayton..Ive had my CS-2's for almost 3 weeks before I found out how to adjust the gain for each of the 4 channels on the dcx...I feel like a dummy for this..One call to Clayton and he told me (by phone) in less than 10 sec..how to do it!..There is a heap of latitude here. The gain can be adjusted in from -15.0 to +15.0 db for EACH of the 4 channels in 1/10 db steps..thats a lot of control. The new values can even be saved if you wish..or by not saving it..it reverts back to the default setting. This is excellent!
He also mentions as an FYI that he will be introducing his own dcx (not a behr) sometime very soon and it will be priced at or less than what many modders are charging for their mods I cant remember the details now..( I was too busy and excited playing with the behr while speaking to him!!)
