Using Maxcom with DBX 223XL Crossover?

I would like to use my DBX Crossover with my BBE Maxcom Compressor/Limiter Sonic Maximizer.

I would think you would go from the Mixer into the Maxcom, and then out to the Crossover, and then to the Amps (Powered Speakers).

How would I handle a single Sub woofer? I have the JBL JRX 118SP, which has both an "A" and "B" side. I have a separate "XLR" to "1/4" connection going from the Sub woofer "out" on my mixer to Channel "1" on the Maxcom.

What would my "Connects" be for the " Mains" (Channel "1" Channel "2") coming off the Maxcom, along with the "unbalanced" out for the "sub woofer" as these go to the DBX Crossover??

The reason I want to try this is I think I can get a better separation with the crossover as it applies to the Bass? Make any sense?

Any Help?

I would run the full range signal into your MAXCOM and then into your crossover if you are using the sonic maximizer. This allows you to apply your sonic maximizer effect to both highs and lows. OR... you can go from the mixer into the crossover first using a dual mono signal and then you can use each side of the MAXCOM to set different amounts of maximizer and different limiters for both the sub and highs. I would avoid unbalanced connections if at all possible.

That's what I did and it sounds good....I ran the signal from my mixer to the Maxcom and then to the Crossover....gives you more flexibility with settings depending on what type of music you are running....Thanks:thumbsup:
