    Strange noise from svt3pro

    It does the same thing in multiple settings. At a friend's house, same thing. My house, same. Band practice, same. Tried setting the amp separate from the cab on a foam cushion thinking vibrations maybe? still does it. It even will happen at low volumes.

    Strange noise from svt3pro

    hmmm. Ive swapped tubes, swapped cabs, swapped basses. I've taken it in to a tech, who re-soldered some joints he thought were bad and called it good. Then I get it back home, happens again. I take back with a bass and a cabinet per his instruction and jammed for an hour on the damn thing...

    Strange noise from svt3pro

    I have owned an svt 3 pro for about 16 years since it was new and it is doing something really weird. At any time when the amp is on, it will randomly go through this really loud, low to high frequency sweep. It sounds like if you were to take a frequency generator, hook it up to your amp and...

    qsc rmx2450 and two 700w 8 ohm cabs

    Well, I told you guys I'd let you know how the amp worked out. I hooked it all up tonight for a test run. I ran my old sr400 Ibanez through my new sansamp RPM through my new RMX2450 bridged into one of my old 8 ohm cabs. Cranked the ch.1 QSC input attenuator and used the level control on the...

    qsc rmx2450 and two 700w 8 ohm cabs

    Holllowbody- I'll try the 2-ohm rewire eventually. Don't get me wrong- I'd love a 4050HD or something even more but I gotta settle for the 2450 at least for now 'cause of cash. It should be coming to me soon!!

    Is this T-40 worth it?

    I have a T-40 just like that one. It's the first bass I ever had and I've had it for 22 years. I think it's a great guitar it's got a good sound from the wood and I always liked the two humbuckers. You can get a good deep tone and also lots of mids too... Ill never get rid of mine. It is...

    qsc rmx2450 and two 700w 8 ohm cabs

    THANK YOU!- very much for the vote of confidence. That's good to hear- I cant wait to hook it up!! I just want to be ready for any situation: inside, outside, no PA, two PA's, generators, pissing off the neighbers, whatever. Mostly I just want to be able to keep up with anyone I play with.

    qsc rmx2450 and two 700w 8 ohm cabs

    Here's my speakers: 1502DT-4 Black Widow (4 ohm speaker) SPECIFICATIONS Power Handling Continuous 350 W, Program 700 W* AES 600 W< , Continuous power per EIA Standard RS-426A * Program rating with a minimum of 3 dB amplifier headroom < Power capacity for 2 hours per AES Standard...

    qsc rmx2450 and two 700w 8 ohm cabs

    Then what's all this stuff about making sure the amp's got 2 or 3 times the output of the speakers? I've got 2 monster cabs and I want to crank these bastards! What should I do, then, get an amp that puts out 700w at 8 ohms per side? I mean, of course i'm not gonna blindly crank everything and...

    qsc rmx2450 and two 700w 8 ohm cabs

    Paul is right about the load impedance rising if one cab blows (bridged as a 4-ohm load)... I'm pretty sure the amp will run both my cabs at 8 ohms each at 500 w per side to an audibly acceptable level but I want to make sure I have plenty of headroom, know what I mean? If I rewire...

    qsc rmx2450 and two 700w 8 ohm cabs

    So basically you are both saying to just run one cab per side of the amp. bacan- i studied the manual and I understand what you mean about using the parallel inputs. This would also allow me to utilize one cab at a time, through one side of the amp, since setting for parallel inputs...

    qsc rmx2450 and two 700w 8 ohm cabs

    Hello all. I've been searching the forum for amp info lately and found loads of stuff so I decided to register as a member.:) I'm planning on getting a qsc rmx2450. I have two 2-15" cabs. Each cab is loaded with two 350w 4-ohm black widows run in series as an 8-ohm load. I am fine with...
