any particular reason? What is the better option?
I went from DRPA (original) to 260 to the 4800.  The 260 was noticeably better in sound quality.  But the 4800 is in another league compared to those two.  I didn't know how "average" the 260 sounded until I started using the 4800.  It was just night and day.

The 4800 has been incredibly rock solid over the years.  It has never misbehaved or crashed.  It just works, and works very well.

However, 4800 might be overkill for mobile DJ application, especially since you just need to cross over the sub.
I would recommend the DR260 if staying with dBX.

I did an install where the PX was spec'ed.  It's a cripped box.  I'd stay away from the PX at all cost.

Good luck,
JR

Most any other processor made.

Aren't you using the presets in the Danley amps?  Why would you need a second external processor?

Best regards,

The presets in the danley amps are if you are running them full range

But once they are recalled-they can be changed as needed for the particular situation, and then saved to a preset.

All the control needed is in the internal DSP.

What would you suggest? The application is Mobile DJ Work...

I sell more of the Ashly 3.6SP processors than any other. They sound good, fully featured and great BFTB.

Either configure the processor you have in the amp or get a good external one. Why buy the cheapest DSP for these high end speakers?

Why are people not liking the Driverack-PA?
The PA model makes bad power cycle thumps, has minimal flexibility and doesn't sound so good. They are low priced for a reason.

Honestly the Behringer Ultra drive sounds much better than the Drive Rack PA.  I have a Drive Rack PA you can have with the microphone for cheap if your heart is set on it.  However that being said I still would not use a Behringer processor on a Danley.  Just not right.

I too don't understand why not to use the amps processing.

Me too. I have installed and used a ton of Ashly Protea processors and they are great for the money.

Well said. Just use the processing in the amps and keep it simple for DJ work.

Just got the TH-118 and SM 96 combo.....Using the Danley 7500 amps....X-over is set to 80....Just don't seem to be getting the low end out of them.....more boomy than anything....I have a rane eq on them and am trying to dial it in....I have qsc PL 380's coming tommorow which I may try...I am trying to get a thicker tighter bass....is this the result of using a digital amp?

As we've been saying, use the DSP built into the Danley amplifiers.  No reason to add extra costs with an external processor, no matter what the cost.

Something else occurred to me concerning the bass-it sounds like a cable or setting may have reversed polarity in one of the low frequency sections and causing cancellation between your subs, not addition of bass.  Check all cables, both in the amp rack and the speaker cables, check the processor settings in all the low frequency sections/paths, and make sure that everything is wired correct,and nothing is reversed.

Best regards,

John
