This is a 12v system I built over
lockdown this year. I used designs from other posts in the 12v section, big
thanks for all the info! I’m struggling to get my mini dsp (the t.racks DSP 4x4 Mini) to sound good. It makes horrible noises as soon as I turn it up loud. I don’t really understand how to set it up and have spent a long time fiddling with it without really getting anywhere. Even if I don’t change anything from the factory settings and play it without any crossover settings through a pa speaker the same thing happens.Everything sounds perfect when I use either the 2 way crossover in the 12v amps or when I use my amp rack.I’ve tried powering the dsp of a different power supply and the problem persists.Any help would be hugely appreciated!

You may be overdriving the inputs or outputs.
Hook up the conputer and monitor the signal levels when you have it cranked up, if somthing is clipping that will sound bad.

My setup is: audio into a Behringer 302 USB Xenyx Mixer (as it’s lightweight and usb powered), then through a Behringer MICROHD Hum Destroyer HD400 and into the mini-dsp. From the dsp into Pioneer GM-D8704 and a Juice Car Audio JA1504 (1500w). The Thams are loaded with RCF LF12G301 (12" 450W 8 Ohm). Mids are Beyma SM110/N (10" 200W 8 Ohm) and horns are P-Audio
BM-D26 Mk2 (30W 1" Throat Compression Driver). I'm having trouble uploading images but you can see the system on: http://https://www.instagram.com/compaktsystem/ - http://https://www.instagram.com/compaktsoundsystem/ |

The fact it’s fully reset to factory settings could be a problem maybe? If there’s no filters set on each element of the system they might be attempting to all play full range. Just an idea

What are you using to power your mixer?. I'm guessing something like a 12v USB phone charger? I would be looking there first, maybe your 12v USB charger/PSU doesn't have enough grunt, also some of these chargers are very noisy. I thought maybe when you use the amp rack, you are using a different (mains powered) USB PSU for the mixer. so the problem goes away? That should give a clue if the USB PSU is the problem or something else. Edited by Sonic the hedge - 21 October 2021 at 2:20pm |
