I just got off the phone with Apogee about a repair issue. They are still answering the phones and so far seem to be relatively helpful. You might want to try giving them a call.

so, does anyone have a recommendation for a rental house in nyc that has really, really extraordinarily cheap prices? |
I've also done 2 amps for 6 SB850's... each side of each amp driving three 18" drivers.
Greetings,
Here's the major differences from the 260 to the DRPA/PA +,
Unless specified the below is a 260 only feature.
GUI operation for fast visual manipulation of parameters , with multiple windows so you can monitor, and manipulate much easier and faster
Input mixers
Choice of 28 band GEQ or 9 band PEQ input Eq (no choice DRPA)
2 pre xover Inserts with the choice of:
a. AFS
b. AGC
c. compressor
d. gate
e. notch filter
f. strait wire
g. Sub synth
(Fixed @ AFS and Sub synth DRPA)
Pre crossover delay, and the ability to freely redistribute the available delay between the various locations pre/post xover and 2.7 seconds of delay versus 10ms fixed per output and no pre-xover delay DRPA
Routing of any input to any or all outputs
Multiple filter and crossovers from 1x1 wire to 2x6 crossover
Bessel xover types
4 peq’s per output (3 hi outs and 2 mid and low outs DRPA)
Brick wall limiting
Multiple level password security (single level password anyone can look up and defeat DRPA)
You can run the GUI over 300 feet of snake
Ability to link and unlink modules
Copy and paste function
You can label outputs whatever you want
Realtime RTA on GUI and display screen
Update via serial bus
mutes on every output (DRPA+ has as well)
to name a few…
The DRPA+
Adds realtime RTA and mutes to the DRPA platform and a superior Auto EQ algorithm...There are more speakers/amps in the menu (not that a non bi-amp speaker even needs a preset...
) and auto level for balancing the system prior to auto eq...a new interface so you'll need to learn a few new bits from the old DRPA, but it's basically the same platform...
3 peq's for the Hi outs
2 peq's for the mid and low outs
10 ms per output alignment delay
no brick wall limiting
NO GUI
A serial port for future preset updates.
The PX is a basic DRPA with only high and low outs, no delay with mostly powered speaker presets.

I can't think of anyone who "Planned" their way into mixing live audio. Add to that the fact that it is still in its infancy. The giants of the field (and the nearly famous) are still with us. In the 90s a lot of the people who were mixing the big acts of the day had to find new clients as the clients became older and had to either quit touring or severely reduce their schedule. Many people don't make the jump. Exception Buford Jones now with Faith Hill. I talked to him a bit when he first started with her at a fair out in West Liberty, Iowa. I asked how he ended up with Faith and what the business was like. In the day he worked with Showco and as in independent mixing Pink Floyd, Jackson Brown and the like. It was all going good and then one day the phone stopped ringing. This has happened to everyone I know and especially to the people I know locally. Some of the most knowledgeable and best sound reinforcement people had to drop out. Get a day gig that has nothing to do with mixing. To get their fix they mix for $50 a night for some not very good bad band. One of the few talented people in this area that has stuck it out is AL Limberg from the LAB. Had I stayed working I would have been a stage manager for MSU. When I was still working I got the summer off at MSU so I could work with some regional sound companies and actually mix live music at fairs and festivals. would have lost that two I suspect. It always worked out that I made more money doing stage hand calls and sleep in my own bed and see my daughter every day then what a sound company could pay to go on the road. The only thing that paid enough was touring with a yellow card (or similar) play. This was good money, b ut you NEVER saw your family. If you are married or thinking of getting married you better think hard about mixing live audio. |

The iPod dock came as standard equipment with my Passat. Unfortunately it is an option for my new (used) Audi, so I'll have to wait until I've recovered from that fiasco to put it in again. |
Yes, all are "On Stage" and one bag is included with the tall stands and one bag is included with the short stands.

Regarding ... ideal... ... exactly! I was looking for the ideal speaker example. I know lots of things change with frequency. But the general case seems to be that adding a second speaker in parallel without dropping the net impedence below the operating area of the amp, doubles sound output and also doubles the power of the amp -- basically (or ideally) giving you 6 db more sound output. |

Danny,
Are the boom stands all 'OnStage' brand as it looks like the ones in the picture are? Bags included?
Thanks.
