PL230 - High Mid
PL340 - Low Mid
PL340 - Kick
PL380 - Sub

Excited to use it all in anger in a couple of weeks time, just doing a load of testing to get the gains on the crossover set so its all sounding nicely balanced.


Nice rack. Just curious what are the frequency settings?

Kick is 77hz to 154
Low mid 154 to 800
High 800 to 20k
Tops 4.5k to 20k

48db butterworth on the sub high pass, all other crossovers are 24db L-R.

There is something elegant about using a single brand of amp, in one rack. Just looks thought through, and, in a sad shed-bloke sort of way, beautiful. I'll let you off the PL230.

I have done similar with PLX. Not as posh as yours, but still looked "proper"!

It makes more sense using the same topology from one brand than mix'n'match amp racks certainly when using uniform brand systems such as F1, Turbo, Martin etc. I can certainly hear the difference. My racks are all QSC PL series.

So we snapped up a bargain Turbo Aspect rig a couple of months ago, which came with and amp rack of, 1x T90, 2x T45, 2x T25 and 2x LMS-D24, as you can see from the pics the amps were in need of a service (The T90 was already away for service in the pic and already had the odd E25 out)...

Including the Speakon plugs, we are looking at maybe 50 shades of blue...
Just kidding. Very nice amprack.

What Aspect's are you powering with them? 880's and 218's?

Yeah just 4 tsw-218s and 4 ta880h. Don't know whether to get more tsw-218s (they're big and heavy!) or get a smaller lighter kick section that can be used on their own for smaller gigs.
