Thanks for digging out that graph. I think I will do a little comparison measurement next time I set up.

I know the EU speaker line is discontinued but I was a little late completing my EU system and so last weekend was the first time I was able to deploy my EU 112 tops over EU 218 subs along with EU 112M monitors.

According to my spl meter I was running 100 dB at my FoH which was only 20 feet from the stage but that puts me somewhere in the 110 to 115 dB range at stage front.
Everything is powered by IPR 3000 DSP models with one side of an amp per speaker.

Measurements made with SMAART as supplied via Presonus. Some pics are attached.

Everyone, band, audience and myself thought the system sounded excellent.

Nice looking rig. Something about non FFT measurement tools. It won't show what is your speaker's response and what is room gain. Turn on your pink noise and get a reading on the screen. Now mute the pink noise. If as an example 300hz hangs on longer or takes longer to drop then the rest of the frequency's then you know that 300hz is a standing wave build up in the room where your mic is and you may want to try an cut this some more even if it shows flat when you have the RTA pink noise on. Try to get 300 hz to drop at the same time as other frequencies. Then listen and repeat....

Thank you for that tip. I will try that at my next full set up - a couple of weeks from now.

Horn overlap police relax, they're just stacked like that because they won't fit in my basement any other way. Just brought them home but I think I need to double up for the other side.

Just did a great show with the band Western Swing Authority. The stage gear was quite peavey centric.

Nice looking completed rig. It is a shame that the EU series is gone. Lucky though that replacement parts should be available for a long time. Love the monitor stands to give more room on stage. I did see those monitors on clearance for $359 but they were sold out before I could hit the buy it now button. :( Enjoy and keep posting updates!

First gig with "the rig". Toronto Black Foundation of Community Networks Annual Dinner and Dance featuring The Caribbean Diaspora Band at a banquet facility. Didn't really get a chance to crank it up as the band was only playing through the silent auction and dinner with DJ Jonathan "Juiceman" Shaw following with his own rig to round out the evening.

Crystal clear, gobs of headroom and no feedback made for a great first time out. Can't wait for the next gig, most likely a rock band so I'm looking forward to seeing what my rig can do.

Nice! I get the sp1 as the drum monitor but what is the one on stage left for? Also what is your take on the Mackie mixer?

It was used as a monitor for keyboards and for the bass player.

I like the Mackie. I brought an extra iPad to use wirelessly which made sound check quick and easy. There's still a lot of power under the hood that I haven't tapped into yet. The recording function works great. I was able to record the stereo mains for both sets. Turned out pretty good actually considering I wasn't mixing for the recording. The level was down quite a bit as I couldn't turn the mains up close to full for this event.

My best friend has the DL32R that he uses for multitrack recording for his drums and his jam room. I've been spending time at his house when he practices going through the mixer and learning how to use the gates and compressors through my in ears. I'm making a solid effort to learn it inside and out as it will definitely help make things smoother in the future when I work with other performers.

Digital and DSP are the future of sound. Doing things that we could never have dreamed of doing without them. For event's like this or single bands the DL1608 is plenty of channels and 6 aux sends covers almost every monitor need. Having the gain controls being actual pots instead of software making it easy to bump them in transport and global phantom are the only two real drawbacks that I've found so far but not deal breakers considering the price and everything else it does. I little silly putty or sticky tac on the gain pots to keep them from moving is an easy quick, non-permeant fix that I've considered.

Here's a blurry action shot from a couple weeks ago. I sat in for a song with the band Radio Cult at Con Nooga (sci-fi convention in Chattanooga). That's me on stage left rawking my T-63.

my rig is almost identical to yours. I love the sound and the coverage I get with it. It definitely has surprised some bands who say they don't like Peavey.

Good to see some of the QW rigs out there. I keep forgetting to take pictures during shows. I will try at the next one later this month and post them here
