JBL XPL200A The Unicorn speaker?

@ditusa

I wish I had the DX-1 but they are almost impossible to find. I will be using the dbX DriveRack PA+. I've never set up a digital crossover, I'll need the crossover setting points in order to replicate them on the dbx unit. I wonder if anyone has them

• Woofer to Mid-Bass: 300 Hz
• Mid-Bass to Mid-Range: 1.1 kHz
• Mid-Range to Tweeter: 4.5 kHz

Could I essentially use these settings for the dbx and fine tune from there?

BTW-I got lucky and scored the original XPL stands with the speakers. 

I'm sure you will love the XPL200's bi-amped. I had them quad amped with the internal crossover completely disconnected, a very detailed speaker. I damaged the midrange from over excursion, so be careful not to overdrive them! Whatever you do, don't go below the recommended crossover frequency for the titanium dome midranges and tweeters. Best wishes.

I think 300/275 Hz would be a good starting point! JBL states in the XPL200 manual when actively biamping the XPL200A the woofer crossover point should be set @ 250Hz electrical. Hope that helps

I have no experience with a digital crossover only analog. I use a JBL 5235 active analog crossover with special plug in crossover cards # 52-5130 designed for the JBL 4430, 4435 monitors. Crossover point is 1000 Hz electrical the speakers are two way. 😎

Many thanks for sharing your experience. Would you say the XPL is a clinical speaker or very musically faithful?

That's a tremendous help and thanks for the x-over references . I saved the pages!

I would like to have an update on the JBL 046ti tweeters you bought. Any good? To me, the XPL200's were accurate and sounded like the instruments and vocals as recorded. Not clinical at all, lovely speakers.
