Hey, go figure.... We just got a drive rack about a month ago!
I have any experience with the Behringers so i dont really have anything to compare the driverack with. I must say though, the driverack was quite easy to figure out how to use. The wonderful company that is (slowly) retrofiting our brand new
auditorium came
in one day and pulled all our old stuff out and put this in, but left before configuring it to match up with our speakers and delay settings and room eq and all that stuff! All of a sudden I find myself in the
auditorium with about 2 hours until a show with a new peice of hardware to configure. Lucky for me I was able to skim the
manual really quickly and figure out the basics enough to get everything working decently. Since then I have done alot of messing with the eq and abit more experimenting.
The one thing that I have not figured out is it has two inputs (sterio outs from our
mixer in my case) yet once in a while we'll move the
mixer down the front of the
stage and run the output up one mic chanel into the booth. We then can
plug this mic
channel into the back of the drive rack (instead of it going into the
mixer then the
mixer to the driverack) The only problem is when we do this our signal is
mono (panned hard to one side) coming into the driverack and so it only wants to go out the 3 corrisponding side outputs (leaving 3 of the six speakers just sitting there) It seems to me there should be a way to ajust this, but i havent been able to find it!
It also seems like a kinda weird device in the way it lets you select between all these different speakers and setups, i guess it would be more useful if you were going from
venue to
venue with a different
speaker setup at each, for us that aspect of it is bascily set it and forget it (other then case talked about above)
