Indeed,  interested to know how it goes. 

I still think you should buy my 12 650R2's so you would be all Meyer! 

Have fun.

Ok! And I would Scott but I'm dead set on labs . Does anyone know if the m-3t processor would work just the same as the m-3a btw? Also is it possible to have one input into the hi sense from both channel's of an amp? Since I won't be needing the lo sense for subs I'd like to not have to buy four m-3a's but would rather consolidate.

Thanks Ivan & John! Very confused about the sense connectors but I will give Meyer a call. Will post pics and updates periodically if anyone is interested. You all have been very helpful!

The sense lines are for the limiters in the processor.  Community used to used them on their products back around the same time.

That way you can use an amp with any gain (I think Meyer said there is a minimum gain-NOT power output- the amp needed-but not remember exactly), and the limiters would "fire" when needed, without having to tell the processor what the gain of the amp was.

If the sense lines are not hooked up, the processor could get "confusing" ideas about what to do with the signal flow, because it is "looking for" the voltage coming back from the amp (via the sense lines)

Using a different processor with the KF's is silly.  They just aren't the same.  Just lime JBL SRX and VRX with V5 tunings.  It makes them all new boxes.

I believe Mal Brown another member here has KF's and,the processor.  You might want to reach out to him.

I have 6 Renkus Trap40/60 over EAW La400’s , 2 per side.  4 way using old BSS mini drives, tuned with smaart.   My traps have dual compression drivers on a manifold and 2 6.5 in cone driver firing into the horn.  Not young, not light, but well maintained and a really nice sounding rig.  In my neck of the woods, there are no venues that rig won’t handle.  While I would like a cool RCF or DB Ingenia rig... this one is paid for;-)

I'm getting that part for sure. My question is can I just use one m-3a for four amps but just connect the sense to one amp? I'll be using the mackies (425 a side @4ohm)  but if I have to connect both sides out from the amp into the sense then back out into a single input into the msl3a won't that be 850 watts? Or am I missing something? Is this where putting the amp in parallel mode comes in? For reference here is the schematic... https://meyersound.com/download/m-3a-resources/?wpdmdl=3160&masterkey=58b8aec1e3071

Hi Daniel, I am so lost following this thread.....
What possible connection is there between the mackies and the m3-a?
Get the Meyer's right, sub to taste I think...

I've used 1 processor with 2 amps before. I just used the sense on 1 amp. Ideally you want the same model amps. I guess you could tap 4 leads from the Speakon, put banana plugs on them and plug em into the sense inputs. As long as the lo and hi go to the proper inputs, you should be fine.

It's very important to make sure the amp gain is per the Meyer spec.

What??!! No!!!

That would short all 4 amps together. And let the magic smoke out very quickly.

If the amplifiers for each passband are the same just use one sense line.
