Anybody tried the new Peavey IPR DSP's?

What cabs are you two using?

I'm using two fEARful 15subs...3015LF equipped. Also a mid horn module (can't afford the Eighteen Sound 6.5's w/xovers just yet) Should be good up near 900w, but will never drive it that hard. With the IPR bridged, I'll need to scrounge up another amp for the mid

Yup


The only filter available on the IPR DSP is LR24 which seems fine for my needs. I use a HPF on the woofer and a crossover between the woofer and Mid/hi.

I wasn't planning on doing much with the MaxxBass, but to my surprise it is excellent for those times when I need to restore a little low end extension to my cab, ei outdoors, when I set my cab off the ground.

I've had a standard IPR3000 with a stand alone DSP unit, which was replaced with a Inuke NU6000DSP so I could have a all in one unit. And the Inuke was replaced with the IPR3000DSP because of reliability issues with the behringer. So I say if you need DSP and a power amp the IPR DSP is a great choice.

Let me know if there's any other info you would like about the amp.

What's LR24? Is that the HPF dB/octave setting? I read that you can choose the frequency for the HPF, which I think is 24db/octave, or is that variable, too?
Thanks!

What are the bridging capabilities with the DSP engaged? Can you still set filters or HPF on the mono signal?

Linkwitz-Riley 24db/oct that is the only filter available on the crossover. You have a variable hpf and lpf on each channel.

I have not bridged the amp so I'm not sure about that part but in mono mode you still have 2 filters per channel.

I am bi-amping the amp. I have a single TRS coming from my pre to input one. I run the amp in mono mode which splits input 1 to both channels. I have a HPF and LPF on channel one(lows) and a HPF on channel 2(mid/hi's).

This is complete assumption but I would guess that if you were to bridge you would have to be sure that both channels had identical dsp settings. The volume attenuators are DSP controlled so setting them identically would be simple.

Thanks! You answered my question. LR=Linkwitz-Riley. Duh? This is (I think) cascading two 2nd-order Butterworth filters (12 dB each). That's for the crossover function, though. In the manual, it says LR 24dB/octave, and for HPF just says "24dB/octave".
What confuses me is, when the amp is in mono mode, I presume settings for channel A will rule the roost.
If that's the case, I'm wondering if you could just use the Linkwitz-Riley crossover point at say, 40 hz for channel A and have that set as a 'psuedo HPF' and then that setting would go to both channels for bridging purposes?
So much to learn!
