Wow, that brings back some GREAT memories....
Back in the "Good-Old-Days" we used BSS FDS360's with custom cards to process that rig.
No fusking clue what the processing was though. Many years before the tuning goodies that we now take for granted.  Has he tried calling Adamson ??

Ya, Whatever. Just throw a '57 on it, and get off my stage.

I second that.  Call Adamson and get the info direct.

Hi Guys, i'm new here.

I bought a legendary Adamson stack system from the following items: S218, B218, MH225.

Can you help with processor settings? Does anyone know the factory settings?
EQ, XOver, possible delay? I use it in 4 way mode.
My XOver setting in this times are 90Hz, 200Hz, 2KHz.

Thx

Wow. Back in the day, this was a hell of a system.
I ran a rig of 24 MH-225 and 24 B-218 for many years.
System processing was a BSS FDS-360, with custom crossover cards supplied by Adamson.
Racks were QSC EX-4000 and MX-1500, running 3-way.

Don't know how it would sound in today's market, but I'd sure love to give it a run....

(Sorry, can't help with the specs.)

Thx for your reply,
I think this is still a good system today if you accept its limitations: it takes up a lot of space and lack of mobility...

Don't you have any drawing / photo of the mh225 rig frame?

I've used to rent a smaller system with those speakers and processing. It sounded great. Very "warm" and easy to mix on.

Hire a reaaaaally trusted & knowledgeable & aged SMAART tech(or REW or other). Add DSP band-aids where they seem wise. Repeat as necessary. Adamson Corp. left this playground long ago.

This isn't a for-profit rig, is it?
