Beringer DSP9024

[ke1gf]

Hello, I just picked up a 9024 and I'm having a problem trying to turn off the noise gate I can select values between -96 and -25 but I can't make the value go to "OFF" any help would be appreciated... Blaine! HELP!

set all the bands gate to -96 and bring up your input gain so you have more drive, it shouldnt trigger after that.

strage Blane, in the book it states that you can set the gate to "OFF" I guess you can't. Thanks though.

Blane also I need some suggestions as to how I should have the 6 bands dispersed what frequency ranges are you using for each band if you don't mind me asking? I would like to have the 6th band's top frequency set a 5kc so... Kinda like a brick wall so I'm not too wide.

Here are the settings for my 9024, of course feel free to change for your voice, twiddle with the freqs or cut boost each out gain.
you may need to back down the input to your class E rig a bit too.
I went from 12 to 10 o'clock on the input knob to my rig ( you could also drop the outgain of each channel, but then the meters on the display dont bounce enough for me )

Bill,

Got a FB sig into Uxbridge - Gateway to the Blackstone Valley.

Heard you on when I was supposed to be studying Was on the SP600 into a Marantz, into a pair of AR speakers.

Have to tell you you're audio was on a par with Blaine or Steve. I think you got the recipe goin on. A smokin good signal over here.

Probably going to have to ditch school next semester. Between the 9-5 thing, kids, and school there was no time left for radio. You guys are having way way too much fun without me.

i wanna hear it, did you get it setup yet?

[N9NEO]

I think it was late morning or early afternoon yesterday that I heard you. So whatever you were running... But then again you're audio is usually FB into here. Most of the time I run the 3kHz wide HQ170, so maybe the SP600 setup at this end.. heheh.

Yup Blaine, I got it I think on this past Thursday, played with it for a few days... Put it on the air sometime early saturday morning, KG2IR said I was running too much compression (3:1) suggested to me that I turn it down to 2:1 but I didn't cause I'm a stubborn bastard. Been out all day, I just finally got home.

Hrmn Well Here's how I have the six bands divided up
1: 20 -> 120Hz
2: 120 -> 200Hz
3: 200 -> 630Hz
4: 630 -> 1.5125kHz
5: 1.5125 -> 3.5750kHz
6: 3.5750kHz -> 6kHz

Anyway, I'm just learning so I'm sure the'll be changed around.
