I did IT for almost 8 years and have made my fair share of CAT5 cables. We tested each cable setup as they were built. On about the 5th setup suddenly I had no output from the station. Cable seemed okay. Tried another station... no luck. Took a station into the Control Room and tested straight outt...

thanks, guys.... i chose to orient the room the way i did for line of sight into the tracking room, which is through the window in front of me. i have to admit that it did occur to me to slant the side walls in the opposite direction, but there's a door that's practically in the corner of the long w...

startin' to feel ignorant for a completely unrelated reason...what's with the "+1"? i saw someone use that in another thread, and i just wrote it off to my not knowing what they were talking about...is this new TO jargon? :) anyway, i uploaded the crude drawing that we did for the design of the cont...

i can throw something together and post it after lunch - i have to stop over and pick up some drawings for a desk i built to scan and post on another thread, and i'll take some measurements and post something then. you're right - the walls all do reflect back in that direction. the angles aren't ter...

rear wall diffusors - is more coverage always better?

i'm getting ready to put together a treatment package for my brand spankin' new control room. the room was built to my specs, which were a compromise of how much we could afford to do with it and what i've learned from reading these forums (or, maybe i should say what i've retained from what i've re...

i have to hold on to mine, too. i have one client, specifically, who still sends me material on ADAT to cut parts for. and i still use them as converters sometimes, with my frontier dakota card. in fact, the album project that i'm working on right now came to me as basic tracks on ADAT tapes, and it...

lone dissenter?

well, i guess i'm going to be the lone dissenter here, and say that i personally don't think that a guitar (that really is, as one poster already pointed out, a one trick pony) is worth what rickenbacker thinks it is. it does what it does really well, but i personally find authentic rickenbackers to...

well, guys, i'll tell ya what...they won't be AutoCAD-worthy, to be certain, but i'll pull my drawings out that i did and i'll post links to them as soon as i retrieve them...they're pretty crude, but they'll convey what i set out to do. it's actually deceptively simple - and believe me, if i can do...

mine...

ok, so i went looking on eBay for the exact same thing for our new place (just opened three weeks ago, still tweaking after five months of construction). i found something i liked, for $800. i sat there and i stared at it for a while, and i finally thought to myself, 'screw this. i can do that mysel...

templates for XLR connectors? front panel express users?

hi, all.... so, i've just pissed away the last hour looking for a decent neutrik/switchcraft XLR template i could import into a diagram for a custom XLR panel that i'm getting ready to have cut for the studio, and i can't believe how empty-handed i am at this point (and yeah, i searched the forum fo...

furman headphone amps and ethernet cable...advice?

hi, all... looking at buying one of these for the new space my partner and i are putting together - and had a friends throw a bit of a monkey wrench into it by suggesting that i wouldn't be able to use a standard data-type ethernet switch to run multiple HSR6's through it. anyone else here using the...

conduit = leakage?

i've noticed that some of the folks who've discussed running conduit have been advocates of "the bigger, the better", and i'm wondering... those of you who have run larger diameters of conduit - how have you fared in terms of preventing leakage, especially in smaller rooms? there'll be approximately...
