In Reply to: Behringrer crossover for subs - should I get it? posted by K-Bob on April 20, 2017 at 12:16:54:
"- introduces an extra component and processing into the signal path to the mains"There is no Behringer product I would use to high-pass mains with. End of story. Not even a DCX2496. By the time I would have a DCX2496 modded with new PSU, new SRC (the 8420 is crap) and new output stage, I'd have $1500 of mods into a $500 box, meaning I could have bought a box that sounds great with NO MODS for $2000. Modding a DCX2496, IMHO, is a waste of time. I don't doubt that guys have upgraded a decidedly mid-fi / pro-sumer piece into a hidden gem, but I think they might be in denial if they think an un-modded $2K solution would pale in comparison. So if you need $1500 to make a $500 box sound good, was it really a hidden gem to begin with? Tree fell in woods... I digress.
In any case, in my current "prototype" system I am using a Behringer CX3410 to low-pass a sub signal and sum in to mono. If you're doing 24db/octave slopes at 44Hz, then you don't need dual "stereo" subs. I would sum to mono, but that's just me. The CX3410 does a decent job here, but it needs to be set up properly.
Behringer for mains high-pass? Nuh uh. No way. I could take a $200 sound card and do DSP/Active filtering with it and literally trounce the Behringer. How do I know? The same card beats a damned fine $1500 CD player. I have not spun a CD in over 10 years - all my digital is ripped and I don't play analog sources
That's my 2 cents.
