Within digital recording, modulation means nothing, where as peak level does, so the VU is a bit bloody useless for recording digital IMHO. Tim. Perhaps, if all you are concerned about in digital recording is avoiding digital "overs." Some may say that monitoring average level is also useful, and I...

The buzzing is caused, in all likelihood, by magnetorestriction on the laminations of the transformer. As you all know, transformers only work if there is a changing voltage. As the voltage changes, the coils in the transformer form a magnetic field which is, in a sense, concentrated and driected by...

If you need re-ribboning you could also try Steve Sank, son of Jon Sank, who was the RCA engineer responsible for running the RCA ribbon mike assembly line until production end: http://www.thuntek.net/~bk11/home.htm.

Some 'needle-style' meters can be made to ready peaks as opposed to RMS, but they're uncommon. My college radio station had off-the-air modulation meters that were huge - lke 6" - by Gates (as I recall) that read peak modulation (the FCC is very unhappy with any overmodulation of the carrier). The ...

yes, that amp is totally useless, and this is coming from someone who owns $40k worth of speakers and amps (not counting live gear). But, I am consistently amazed at how good a well made AAC track sounds coming off my ipod. It sounds better than a portable CD player with a shitty transport and shit...

The best compromise in my view is a VU meter with an adjustable "peak" LED. VUs correlate very well with perceived loudness. But, they do not pick up short transients and therefore are not good for avoiding digital overs and spikes that could induce momentary instability in electroncis - usually man...

The stuff is called mag stock (for magnetic stock) and was used to sync sound to picture during editing of motion pictures. Essentially, it is magnetic tape which has been backed with 35mm (or 16mm) film -- but, there is no image associated with magstock. The audio from the production set was recor...

The problems I have found in converting a speaker tripod to use as the support for a boom stand is finding an adapter to securely hold the boom onto the top of the speaker stand rod. I have also looked at the possibility of converting a Manfrotto/Bogen light stand and boom to a mike stand and boom. ...
