    Using a DBX **** processor... replaces a Behringer I was using. There's nothing wrong with Behringer, a lot of guys use their stuff, I just didn't have luck with it. I'm sure it was something faulty with it too begin with.

    That's kind of a hard question to answer since my Microphone, Pre Amp, Amplifier and frequency response of my voice are quite different from yours. The best thing I can suggest is opening up a 2nd slice, put your receive antenna too antenna 2, and do some listening while you make adjustments.

    Yes it's the DBX 286s …. It's a nice processor for the money.

    Do you use the Flex EQ? Is the Flex speech processor turned off?

    Flex EQ on... Processor off.... Carrier level set too 85... Have the power turned up so that I am getting 375 watts carrier out of my pair of 8877's … And this allows for more density in the AM signal while adjusting the Mic level to retain around 100% modulation.

    Remember.... Carrier Level and Power level are 2 different settings
