    Default Active speaker fan comes aboard!

    Hi

    I am new on this forum, hope to find more fans of active speaker set ups.
    Since 1984 I run active set ups, at the moment 3 full systems up and running, hope to get more info on digital dsp run systems.
    I've been building speakers since 1979, also because of that I decided to go active to be more flexible in experimenting with different types of speakers and cabinets, without the need for expensive passive hardware.
    At the moment I run an active system with a Thell diy 3 way active analog crossover, one with a modified Behringer DSP and one with a Najda based dsp, at the moment I prefer the Behringer with passive output stage and modified digital input stage, but I am still in test mode.
    On paper the Najda should be better then the Behringer, but I am struggeling with the set up of the Najda, with some music, on PC, Flac files, the system has digital distortion, the red overload led comes up, terrible 100 % distortion, it is rare but it happens with very high output data.
    Also to save money on the number of poweramps needed I run 2 systems with (second hand, real cheap!) Yamaha RXV2400 using the multi channel inputs to use the 6 poweramps needed in a 3 way system, that works really well!
    I hope someone has interest in my systems, questions and helpfull tips are welcome,

    Greetings, tojoko.

    Hello Tojoko. Welcome to AOS.

    Yes, we have active speaker fans here. I'm sure they'll be hapy to discuss your ideas with you.

    There are threads on every Hi-Fi topic and music too, so please join in the chat.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Hi, I take it Kouwenberg is your surnname... you should put your first name in the box. so I will call you Tojoko for now. Welcome to the forum, and I hope you enjoy it. We like builders here so wade in. I have a set on active qacoustics, and Ive built a few sets of full range. Sure there will be a lot of people interested in your designs so you could maybe explain some in the drawing board section.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
