LsChevy Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Has anyone seen the new processor from ampere audio? If so what's your thoughts. I started saving up for the 3.sixty.3 but read to many bad reviews in the process. So I'm thinking I'm going to snatch one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reedal Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Save your money for a Helix. Why? I know nothing of DSP's, but what would be wrong with the ampere one?

White Lightning Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'm not sure about the unit in question, but I do know the Helix is a well setup piece of equipment. When you get more familiar with processors, you will understand me on this ... I've seen guys throw out the JBL ms8 for the Helix. And the JBL is a bad ass processor.

reedal Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Got it. The only thing I've done with processors is look at the specs, and I am able to see the differences, but is there really much difference in sound processor to processor? Or is it just the features available that make them all that different? Ex) Processor A has a 30-band EQ, processor B has a 36-band EQ -all other features are the same Is there going to be a difference in sound with the EQ's set up to feature the exact same curve? Or is it just our human mind sets of "this one has a little bit more than what I've already got, I have to have this one"?

White Lightning Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Ok, I can only answer for me personally on this ... If it was me, I would do what I did with White Lightning and buy a headunit that takes care of all my audio / video needs and not have any external processing. I run my Eq flat and only need processing for is time alignment and corssover networks. My Kenwood 9980 works perfect for this and then some ... ... and the fact I still run passive on my front stage. I'm mainly going by what my Teammates refer me to in competition. They (well, the ones that run processors) are using nothing but the Helix. I'm thinking they mainly like the 32 band parametric Eq capabilities over everything else whereas alot from what I hear is 16 band in cheaper units ... There is one of the guys stuck on the Alpine headunit - processor combo. Good reason too ... it's the mack daddy of them all. Sorry, cant remember the model of the units. Sorry to the op for spamming up you thread ... Lol Hope you find what you are looking for !!!

reedal Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yes, sorry OP. I like my 80prs and don't intend to use a processor with it. I was just curious so I can add a little more knowledge in case the time ever comes where I use a processor for a different build. Thanks for the information SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyblack76 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I think Taylor Fade did a review of it.... or, someone did, cuz ive read something about it. I can look more when i get home. Maybe its on the team site, i cant remember. But, no doubt, that HELIX unit is a smexy looking peice of gear. Ive read a lot on it.
