I-Nuke NU4-6000 not per website
« on: February 09, 2015, 03:05:18 PM »

Probably nobody cares much about this amp, but I saw Art's post on its decent power output in another thread, and thought I'd give it a try....

I have a pair of old yam sv-115IV tops and a pair of 118IV subs, that my son and his roommates  in VTech were begging to drag into their apt.
3-4 of them play instruments, but still....Last thing I want to do is put any $ into this :)

So I thought this amp with four channels and built in 100hz crossover might make a real easy cheap setup. One amp, disposable mixer, no x-over.....let the beer fly

On the Behringer site, the quickstart guide (that is, the manual? ugh) shows a 3 position crossover slider ..... LF-Full Range-HF, per pair of linked channels. (A&B, C&D)
My idea was to use one pair of linked channels for LF, and one pair for HF. That would even allow level control to balance the mains to subs with nothing else needed.
 
The quickstart quide shows what it calls horizontal biamping, and other than some funky speakon connections, that looked like it would work for what i had in mind.
I was hoping to maybe even bridge the linked pair to the subs.

But the actual unit delivered is different.  Each pair of channels has a crossover slider with only 2 positions.....  Full-Range - Split.  Which means A is high, B is Low, etc for C&D).
This works somewhat, but since gain on both A & B is controlled by the A pot only, there is no relative level adjustment between mains and subs.
And it's not clear how, or if it's even possible to use both bridge and crossover....

Bottom line, the unit is much less flexible in routing than as shown on the web...
Again, sorry if zero interest, but just in case....

Well you can't use bridge if it's going to be run in split mode. However a picture is worth a thousand words. Show us what you have. The picture on the Behringer website shows what you describe in your earlier paragraph. The later paragraph would seem to make sense why things are messy, but show us.

What happens if you set the crossover switch to crossover as in your picture, but set the input switch to stereo?

Then crossover has no effect, both channels (A&B) are full range.
The only time crossover has an effect is in Mono.....afraid to see what happens in bridge with xover on haha..

On the web layout, I was hoping crossover came first, applying to both linked channels.  And that you could then mono, stereo, or bridge the channels as desired.
Don't even get to find out because of the switcharoo  :(

Well that blows!

Buy him 2 more subs to balance out the system!  :P

I'm curious to see what the configuration on mine is.   I only use it to power up four floor monitors, and haven't ever compared the input switching to what the web images have.    I'll check it out this afternoon at home and post up what I find.   (not that it's THAT helpful for you...)

If it were me I'd send it back. That is a major change in the application of the amplifier, and a poor design choice. Hard to believe they would do that without at least documenting it.

FWIW, QSC has the same funky crossover scheme on their GX amplifiers, which is one reason I've never been enthusiastic about them.
