Helix Pro+Director vs. Arc PS8+PSC
Sorry James, I traded the PPI. I'm looking at these 2 DSP's, and reading everything I can find. From what I can tell, the Helix seems to be very reliable, but can't do as much with the Director as far as adjustments w/o a PC. Looks like the PSC can do more adjustments on the fly w/o hooking up a PC, although it seems like there have been a steady stream of issues with this product. It also seems that the Helix might be better set up for future upgrades/expansion.
Taking into account my lack of PC skills, plus having never tuned a system, which of these would you guys recommend for my situation?
As always, thank you for any and all opinions and input!!!

Or should I just go with the Mini c-dsp 6x8?

beak81champ - have you compared the interfaces of the units? It seems like ease of use could be really important. Good luck.

I would definitely do this, I think you can download the software for both the Helix and the Arc and use them in demo mode to see which is easier to use.
The PS8 is intriguing to me, new they are close to $1,000 but it looks like used prices are half that. Considering how powerful it is supposed to be, I wonder if the used price on them is because they are problematic or some other reason.

This is exactly what my concern is. I can't see spending $1000 on a piece of brand new equipment that might not work as it should. I haven't read about very many issues with the Helix.

There is not much out there at all in terms of the PS8 at all that I can find, new, used or information in general!!

What about the Audiocontrol DM-810?
Re: Helix Pro+Director vs. Arc PS8+PSC
Well, I got an excellent deal on a PS-8 + PSC, so that's what I'm going with. I also think it makes sense, since I will be running an XDi 1200.6, so I hope it is everything I think it will be.
