So I just spent 2 weeks rewiring my studio into a couple bantam patchbays and I was prepared to have some problems with wirring crop up but the only problems Im getting are with my Tape Machine... When I have the Ms-16 turned on all the outputs at the patchbay end are shorting out from ground to col...

Do a google search on his name and you'll find his site.

Hey Brad, Yep all seem to work. Its hard to judge how well as Ive never heard one before and I have not tried it on anything thing yet, too bogged down rewiring my whole studio. I also dont suppose a beyer m130 (my only other ribbon) will be much use as comparason either... I guess Ill just have to ...

Yep, Ive seen that page but it doesnt really help...
Looks like maybe ill have to get something made up.

Hi All, So I pick up an Altec 639b on the weekend, got it home terminated the cable with an XLR, plugged it in and what do you know? It works! Pretty exciting. Only thing thing is this thing weighs a freaking tonne and It has threaded bolt at the end of the swiveled fork that hold the body. Anyone h...

Hey There, I recently picked up one of these 4ch mic-pre units. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience in changing the opamps in these? The stock ones look to be the same that are stock in PAIA kits and was thinking of changing these to BurrBrowns (which I did in the PAIA). Any experiences ...

Cool, thanks.
I also like buying from Australia too.

So Im looking to get a set of 4 mic pre's. Currently these 2 are looking good. Both are similar price wise. I dont mind having to build the JLMs although there is no metering... Can anyone offer anycomments on these in terms of sound & anything else worth commenting on? Feel free to point out any ot...

Hey there,
A friend of mine who works in a TV post-production studio gave me a heads up on a cheap Microlynx sync machine.
I was wondering if its possible to control a Tascam MS-16 with this unit?
Anyone had any experience contolling Analog Tape Machines with these things?
Thanks

Thanks,
We generally run the 2 8ohm cabs(4x10 & 1x15) but sometimes people cant be arsed taking both down the stairs I guess....
Although I have not been drinking the last month after a bad night on the Gin, did have a finger of Jamesons last night.

Hello, I have a question re: Speakers Loads & Impedence on amps. The bass player in my band has a Gallien Krueger 400RB head which runs 1 4ohm speaker or 2 8ohm speakers. If we just wanted to take one of our 8ohm cabs to a show is it ok for me to wire a resistor into a jack from tip to ground to mak...

I fixed the problem by making the Y split into 2 4.7k resistors. I still get a little crosstalk though.. Maybe increasing the value to 6.8k or 10k may cut this down?...
thanks
Lachie

So I went ahead and made it, both channels are spilling into each other not surprisingly.
Id really love some help on this, would putting a LED/diode on each side of the Y split stop the signal going back upstream?
Any other websites I should check out?
thanks

Hey there, Im making a A/B/Y amp selector/switch box and had some questions... the basic idea is this.
