I had a 3 day outdoor festival at my church this week and a pair of 328's and a pair of EV subs (haven't gotten a chance to upgrade to PreSonus yet) did well all things considered. I am a very happy camper. We'll be back next year, hopefully with more PreSonus gear

I have a pair of 328's on order and a gig coming up in a couple of weeks. How to the 328's cope without subs? (I can't afford the subs yet )

Depends on the music. I can't afford the subs yet either but I still have my EV subs. For an acoustic act, the 328's are great. For rock, you really need subs. For outdoors, I have another pair of subs to add the gain lost from the walls.

Looks like I'm going to be short by 4 subs...
It should be ok, just a small gig with a rock covers band but I'll keep the levels down with just Vox and kick/snare/overhead in the pa. Got a much bigger outdoor gig coming up but I can borrow subs for that. Thanks.

I got a pair of 328s and used them this past Saturday. (9-12-15)
I absolutely know they didn't have the same output as my Peavey DTH-S4 tops. I have decided that I need a second pair. They just would not get loud enough for the high energy rock band I was mixing for. Don't get me wrong, I thought they sounded really good in comparison. But, I know I will need a second and maybe a third pair. It seems that there is no substitution for "big iron" when it comes to sheer output. I do a series in an amphitheater outside during the spring and summer and I will for sure need a couple more pair for that. That's a bread and butter gig for me and I want these to be better sounding than my previous tops. They are, but I have to fill that space. One pair won't cut it.

The update released last April increases the input sensitivity by 10 dBu. This is huge. I had the wrong impression of the output of my 328's until they put out this firmware fix. http://support.presonus.com/entries/669 ... structions |
Yes. Thank you for that. It helped tremendously!
