Hey Evan, That is a much better clip. It didn't occur to me that the first video was shot with a cell phone.
I really liked the "poppin'" sound clip you posted on your website - great job.
Are you traveling to England with the band?

If u use 3 way setting,it must have been Hi-Mid-Subwoofer setting....and it is more difficult to you if you setting use analog xover than LMS that we can see and adjust freq and slope for each output of driver.Except u use the controller for that speaker ( Like Martin Audio EM76 use ICT controller from martin, we dont need to setting too much, cause the sound will hears perfectly)
if u use the analog xover from different brand from speaker and subwoofer,that you can try adjust manual with this way :
when all the setting is on : play sound with familiar cd that u ussualy use and try for high freq, turn down volume for MID and LOW (SUB) in xover/power until you just hear the HIGH freq from the speaker and find the freq from xover freq until no mid freq hear or just a little (around 1,7khz, and for MID do the samething until no high freq and low freq hearing, just mid !
and do the samething for thesubwoofer, find about in 80-120 hz for the sub, but sometimes you must make it about up to 100hz to make it punch,(it my suggest and depend for your taste)
it depend from your each driver from speaker too (is it in perfect condition or not) and dont forget to check the phase from each driver (hi-Mid-Low) for sub its more easy to see (they go out when we play loud freq) but sometimes like JBL they go IN for the SUB for right phase.
I hope this can help u to setting and make nice sound!
good luck

You need to check :
1. your soundcard use Mono or stereo output!!
2. check your volume level in notebook, ( about half or 3/4) in volume master in windows, flat eq and no effect if any) and boost the volume from your mixer, cause if from the source it overload or peak in your mixer the sound will not hear good how good you set it
3. Check your cabling from notebook to Line input ( check the wire and + independent and - and earth you join together) or use each pin when u use stereo jack.
4. use pad if your mixer have it, to reduce the signal and boost it from gain.
5.the last from the source you play. try to play cd music from your notebook's cd room and hear the sound and play the source you want to play ( like mp3/mp4/Mpg ) if the sounds very different from cd its cause from the source and your system dont wrong anything at all.
use connection from sound card notebook to line input mixer always do the same way, and the sounds so perfect, it depends from your cabling and the source what we want play.
good luck

I can vouch for the NX750Ps getting quite loud, and having acceptable sound quality.
I have only used them in a monitor role, but in that application they excelled. I was able to run kick and bass guitars through them (in addition to vocals) and achieve very good results, at very high SPL. I have even had screamo-type bands ask me to turn their vocals down in their mix when using the 750's as wedges.
Some things to keep in mind:
They are relatively large enclosures (38D x 56W x 84H cm)
Heavier than many powered 12"s tend to be (27.3kg)
They have 80x50 HF dispersion, which is good for wedges, but which might be a little awkward in practice for FOH enclosures. I would find 80degrees to be too narrow for good coverage of many rooms singly, yet a bit too wide to really array well (speculation on my part -again, I've only used them as floor monitors.)

Not a bad start. I like the HPR122's, great price, sound great, do well as mains and monitors. If the need ever comes, you can rent a powered sub until the time comes to buy one.

Hi Rob,
The MOSFET1000 has a lot less gain, due to the fact that the input isn't ballanced. it was an optional extra. However, I couldn't find the right sound by adjusting the gain.
