YES! Thank you, never would have found it under that.

I was talking with a live sound guy that is very good about how to get a less harsh sound out of my QSC K 12s (he runs them also). Had some great advice, but wanted to look this over too. Thanks again.

So its easy to find really interessting threads again, like the one above ;)
 
 
Thanks guys, my first question was really where is the 0 db mark for the NS7. So I can get proper gain stage. I bought a DBX 15 band EQ with VUs that should indicate this. Hopefully that is not the harshness, but would be nice to prove it and start off knowing that the gain and headroom are right.

Then after that he made some recommendations, but we will hang out and get the final tune up with him. Nice knowing a guy with that much experience. Just want to refference what people have figured out and learn from it. I don't hamer on the system, just would be nice to be as efficient as possible and correct what is left.
 
You could find yourself some test tones to play, that are set at various dB levels. Then you would be able to see how the meters in VDJ and on the NS7 respond.

That sounds really efficient, could you spare a mod or two to finish the English skin wiki ? :-)
 
Don't let Dan read this :D

And a mod != capable of skinning ;)
