Xilica XP-3060 has three inputs.

Xilica XP-3060 requires no skanky hack.
Peter Etheredge wrote on Wed, 28 May 2008 09:35 | It would be nice if it could be a decent "budget" unit that I could possibly just trade the DR260 for, especially since it's just doing some simple crossover/delay for some QSC HPR's and frankly I feel like the DR260 is overkill.

Xilica XP-3060 < $600.

Xilica XP-3060, no stigma included.
Sorry to sound like a broken record, but it's a great unit.

So what's that about the Xilica XP-3060?
Couple of questions about it though:
1) Doing a search here says there is no way to tell if it's in limit or not - how hard it it to set the gain structure and such then?
2) Where would I get one? I can't seem to find any anywhere. Also in relation to that what are the odds I'd be able to trade/sell the DR260 so that I don't have to add any money to this deal - this part is crucial.
Tony -
That marking stuff is almost on the level of Bose
Some very interesting stuff to think about....
Also, in regards to the BBE unit, should I go down that road, how much of an issue is the whole clipping thingy? Obviously I'll set up my gain structure right and use limiters, especially as this system is used by, to put it nicely, amateurs, but if someone starts to hit the limiters that I set up will the sound start to distort? I guess my main concern would be running into distortion at some point. Any other comments on that unit? These questions apply to anyone else who has used it.
Thanks!
