Cool. Thanks.

The mic is built into the console. It looks like an electret condenser mic. There are only two wires coming out of it. So would I be able to just insert a switch in one of the wires, or would it just pop like crazy when I push the button?

I'm looking at wiring a momentary switch into my talkback mic. My question is, will it mess up my mic, and/or monitors if I wire in just a switch? I would think it would pop in the monitors everytime I press the button. Do I need to put something else in the circuit to eliminate that from happening?...

Mopped up a little basement flooding in my studio.... an annual ritual +1 on that. :( I'm still working out just what I need to get my "new" console up and running. I think I'm alomst there so I should be orderng some parts soon. :D Had a nice scare at my "real" job. I work in maintenance at a flou...

One other thing just popped into my head. I have seven wires connected to the board. 6 would be for the -15, +15, and 48 volts, but what is the last one for? If it's a ground how do I wire that up? can I just connect it back to the ground on the cord that will plug into the wall from my power supply...

I mainly use 6 mics when I record drums, (depending on the sound I want)
snare, kick, three toms, anda mono overhead. I agree with the previous posters though. Try getting a good sound with one mic (mono overhead), and then fill in the rest for fine tuning mix options.

Thanks for the great info. It's been too long since I've done this stuff. I can finally start putting the pieces together. :D To make sure I understand this, I would need one of the AN0515s for the 15V, and then a transformer that gives me 48V. The one I found on the same site (AN-10248) seems a bit...

I don't think a 10VA torroid is going to have enough juice to power this. I wonder about this myself. The regulators that are in there put out 1.5 amps. But I also am not sure. :? Are you saying there's no power transformer? Yeah what's in the picture is all I have. Are you saying to get a power su...

This is a topic that belongs in DIY gear if a moderator wants to move it. Sorry about that :oops: Anyway. The console is a StudioMixer II. It was made by Amerimex Co. Inc. Based out of Atwood California. If you can find anything on them good luck, I couldn't :( The part that seems wierd to me is th...

So to power this would I just need to get 2 transformers that step down to the correct voltage and hook them up?

I'm trying to figure out the wiring to my console. There are 3 voltages, 48v -15v and 15v. My quesiton is why are there 7 wires going to the circuit board? The best I can come up with is that there is one common ground, and then 2 wires for each of the three voltages. I've included some pictures so ...

Any kind of an idea what the amp draw would be for a console this size? Is there some where on the circuit boards I could look and find some sort of a clue as to what it might be? Thanks again for the info.

I used them on guitar and they sounded ok. A little lacking in the low end. I traded a pair of the speakers and $40 for the SoundMixer console I'm working on. I think it was prett good trade :D especially since the speakers are of no use to me at all. Now if only I could trade the rest of them for a...

I looked around a little for a power suppy, and I see a lot of them rated at 17v, but my console needs 15v. is 2v more going to make a difference or does it have to be 15v? Thanks for the help.

Sorry if this has been discussed before. I searched and couldn't really find anything. What is needed to clean pots and faders, and how do you do it? Thanks for the help, I'm a total newb at console maintenance.
