Both of these units are great. The yorkville bottoms are awesome. However I must say they are a little on the heavy side. The K12 are great for most small to mid size parties. I have both and like the sound they both produce. I use the K12 for smaller events and use the yorkvile 500p for larger events. However, I just recently check out the new EV live x series and they sound great as well.
In regards to the driverack you probally better of upgrading to the driverack PA plus. This has more feature and flexiblity that the regular PX. Just keep in mind that you will have to use the custom set up when it comes to tunning your speakers because neither the QSC k12 or The yorkville bottom is listed in the pre listing.
 
I have the jbl PRX series and the out preform my qsc k series and cost less
 
Im also looking at the JBL PRX615's .They sound amazing! HEARD them side by side with the QSC and Mackies 450V2.
 
 
@ City. Let me know how you like them when you get them. Also looking at the back and there are 3 volume controls. where would you run the levels for the master and line input? Ive been using mackie srm 450's for over 7 years and they only have one level control.

Oh and I have the driverack px. its pretty nice, but is a pain to setup in a place if there are customers in there. annoying pink noise. Good thing is you can save your setting for different venues.

The Live X has an active mixer. you can run more than 1 signal at a time and have a volume control for each signal.

I own a DBX Driverack PA and I have to say thai it was one of the best purchases I have ever made. I have decided to keep the Driverack PA for use with the powered speakers. The Driverack PA has more features and is more versatile. Neither the PA or the PX have my speakers in their list so I might as well use what I have and keep the additional features.
 
I use QSC's with the DriveRack PX and couldn't be happier...

DjRude you would be much happier with a pair of prx 615m trust me. Unless your a QSC fanboy
 
What exactly is a Driverack?......What are the specific components needed to hookup say a couple loudspeakers and a couple bottoms say 15's?......and in what order going from the laptop do things hookup?
 
Driverack is a Loudspeaker Management Unit (LMU) and it consists of the following elements (based on model):
1) 3 way crossover with parametric EQ on each way (the EQ is applied on the input of each way)
2) Adjustable delay on each way (useful on large systems to delay the satellites so that the subs can keep up)
3) Compressor / Limiter on each way (Imagine this as a Multi-Band compressor even if that's not exactly accurate)
4) Graphical EQ and Compressor/Limiter on the INPUT signal
5) Sub Harmonics synthesizer/generator
6) Feedback suppressor
 
Order:

1. Laptop
2. Ext sound card
3. Mixer
4. Driverack
5A. Satellites AMP
5B. Subs AMP
6A. Satellite speakers
6B. Sub speakers

or for self-powered speakers:

1. Laptop
2. Ext sound card
3. Mixer
4. Driverack
5A. Satellite speakers (Self-Powered)
5B. Sub speakers (Self-Powered)


or for mixed operation:

1. Laptop
2. Ext sound card
3. Mixer
4. Driverack
5A. Satellites AMP
5B. Sub speakers (self-powered)
6A. Satellite speakers


Without a Driverack:

1. Laptop
2. Ext sound card
3. Mixer
4A. Satellites AMP (you can bridge the inputs of your satellites amp with your subs amp)
4B. Subs AMP (you can bridge the inputs of your subs amp with your satellites amp)
5A. Satellite speakers
5B. Sub speakers

or for self-powered speakers:

1. Laptop
2. Ext sound card
3. Mixer
4A. Satellite speakers (Self-Powered) (you can daisy-chain any possible speaker combination)
4B. Sub speakers (Self-Powered) (you can daisy-chain any possible speaker combination)


or for mixed operation:

1. Laptop
2. Ext sound card
3. Mixer
4A. Satellites AMP (you can bridge the inputs of your satellites amp with your subs input)
4B. Sub speakers (self-powered) (you can bridge the inputs of your subs with your satellites amp)

I don't have a driverack because I would be constantly adjusting it and wondering if it was right, DSP in new Crown amps is bad enough!
 
Wow!...Thanks for all of the advice Phantom DJ....Just what I was looking for and very easy to understand...Thanks a ton!!! =D

Once you assign your speaker frequencies in the DR there is no need to adjust anything.
I do not run the pink noise eq feature, never have had to.

I use all Yorkville gear and have settings for the two combinations I use with them.

When just using my NX 750 tops (2 or 4) I run with full range setting.
When running my powered tops and passive bottoms, there is a setting created for frequency crossover and specific assignment.
The tops already have a roll off, but with the DR its all controlled and not necessary.
 
There is no need to adjust anything, if you have your driverack & speakers with the same company manufacturer as everything of their speaker models are already built-in the driverack like: For example if you have DBX or BSS Driverack most of their JBL speakers setting are already in there you just have to choose & select speaker models for high, mids, lows, or even run settings in auto mode.
 
I have an older model, the newer DR has powered speaker profiles in the presets.

Its still a simple matter of goggling the specs for the speakers and setting them up.

Since I got this only once have I run without it, it was that remarkable.
 
is there a list handy for all the speaker models that are inc in the default settings.
 
you can see it here
