symo Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Hi all, I am starting my own mobil dj business and I have managed to obtain the following 1 x cx34002 x 1520 Loidspeakers2 x 1800X Subs.2 x EP2500 The plan is to go from my A&H DJ mixer into the crossover. After that I get confused. The behringer manual is not clear on how to setup or connect the CX3400. Can anyone offer me help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Riley Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Ah, I've been caught out by this one before! If its the model I think it is, it has 2 rows of labels for each knob, and some of the ins and outs have this system as well. This is due to fact it has 3 modes of operation - 4 way mono - ie. 1 in 4 out, 2 way stereo - 2 in 4 out and 3 way stereo - ie 2 in 6 out. You're going to have to use the 2 way stereo mode, so connect up the stereo line out of the mixer into the back (L + R XLR inputs). Then label the amps with which bit of the system each is driving (I.e mid/top L, sub R etc.) Following that set the crossover to 2 way stereo mode and run a cable from the low and the mid outputs onto each side. Lows go to subs amp, mids go to tops amp. Following that, set the input gain straight up and the delay at zero, the output gains straight up and the crossover frequency at about 100 hz. Fire it all up and you should start getting sound. Play with the crossover frequency until you get the desired sub sound (normally between 80-120 hz) Oh, and press the lo cut button to help protect your subs if you wish. Enjoi, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoi, Matt Thanks in one answer everything has become a hell of a lot clearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
