Where are you based?

I think the Print sub option has been removed from Australia because the costs have become too high.

Terminology...

From my BBC heritage, any facility to patch signals between sources and destinations is a PATCHBAY — whether performed manually with cords, or electronically.

A panel full of sockets with normalling facilities is, to me, a JACKFIELD.

Other definitions may be available....

Today I have a question about the infamous Shure vocal master from the late 1960s. Does anyone have any information about the reverb circuit that was used in the machine? The user and service manual for the Shure VA300 Vocal Master is available here: https://share.google/poNlmAAGsYmGyuHSQ When the ...

The art pro xlr patch involves no soldering at all. It has male XLRs on one side and female the other, with rack ears which can fit to either side to allow 16 males at the front or 16 females. Install two strips, with studio stage boxes and preamps plugged in at the back, and you patch between them ...

I was thinking that yes so all patch cables are male both ways so (like a jack patch bay) I don't have to put the cable in a specific direction. :wtf: I think that way be dragons. It risks confusion over inputs and outputs, and the potential to inadvertently send phantom power into places it ...

Do you really want just female XLRs on the patchbay? I'm afraid I don't have any experience with Amphenol XLRs, but other connector types Ive used made by that company have all been fine. Neutrik have a low cost chassis XLR range with plastic bodies — the PP Series. And their budget brand, Rean. But ...

So it seems to come down to another analogue mixer feeding the A&H or just a bigger single unit. The link cards seem to be no longer available? Possibly... I've not looked. I'm sure A&H could advise... It's not available for the current MixWizard 4 consoles because those use the space for the USB I ...

1- The meter bridge doesn't switch form Tape to Channel. It indicated it has, but I think it's only switching the red LED. When I opened the MB for cleaning and some garbage removal I notice a couple loose wires...jumpers? Maybe they tie the analog meter section to the LED section? Possibly... I ...

If you can find somewhere equipped properly with 7.1.4 monitoring to listen to it, sure, why not? It's as good a solution as any in the immersive ecosphere. And, if you have 3D printing facilities it would be cost-effective too. I was amused by the author's statement: "What stereo did to mono ...

I suspect Arp' you will have to go for something like that and maybe expand with Ethernet? Dave. So how does that work? I know nothing about all this stuff... Judging by the comment above, I'm not sure Dave does, either! :lol: ...what do I plug into the digital mixer to expand it? It very much ...

Allen & Heath offer a SYS-LINK board which can be installed (retrofitted) in all MixWizard consoles to join two desks to make one big desk, with properly shared facilities between them. There are two versions (V1 and V2) depending on the age of each console, but they can be interconnected with the ...

^ This.

Simples. Have fewer sources available during initial tracking.

You've got to make a compromise somewhere, and that is clearly the least disruptive and expensive option.

The CM600 range had an unbalanced audio output, with a separate DC power input — both sharing a commentary screen/ground return — connected via a 3 pin Tuchel plug. I believe the DC power was a nominal 50V rather than 12V, although I expect it would work on a lower voltage (with reduced headroom). N ...

Oh! I was always told Hugh it was Philips who insisted CDs must be the size they are for use in car players? If the sample rate was the more obvious 48kHz the playing time would have been reduced? Another story was that there were no crystals available that could easily be divided down to 48kHz ...

Having typed all that, I see Wonks has already covered much the same ground in much the same way. Regarding the phantom power protection, yes, I can see why you'd want to be careful.... but if you connect to the mixer via a TRS line input socket there will be no phantom on the line anyway. The ...

The keys out R/L cables were plugged into the ART DTI Why? Checking, the buzz was present in each output pair from the DTI. Yes, I'm sure it was. I bypassed the DTI completely (running L/R cables this time from the keys out directly to the Mackie mixer in) and the buzz was gone completely. Gosh ...

Would anyone believe me if I asked what Health and Efficiency was?

Have you tried clearing out the cache and cookies etc? (Apologies for grannies egg blowing!)

Where are we on the IP V4/IP V6 debacle? Trying to build a sufficient body of relevant user data to try and track down the problem... Are there any downsides to not having IP V6? In the short term, no. However, as more and more people and things use the interweb they all need unique addresses, and ...

Is there nothing you do not know, Hugh? ;-) Oh yes! A heck of a lot. :shifty: The more you know, the more you realise how much you don't know! :think: But I have been learning about pro-audio for 54 years, now. I bought my first Studio Sound magazine in 1971 when I was eleven (and I've still got it ...

There are some legacy hardware ambisonic decoders around, but DAW plugins are definitely the way to go. Rode's plugin is one of the best, but there are others. With a good ambisonic decoder you can generate any number of virtual mics with any desired polar pattern pointing in any direction, feeding ...

^ What James said — make sure you're using a machine with a compatible hi-fi audio mode.

The mics were set up in what I have now found out is called a nimbus Halliday array. Ah... that makes a bit more sense. So as far as phase issues are concerned, there won't be any, really, because the three mics were (hopefully) mounted coincidently. If you recorded the three mic outputs to three ...

As Alex has said, your description of mic positions is confusing.

And what instruments were positioned where.

Again, as Alex said, anything to the sides of a Blumlein pair will have huge out-of-phase issues.

Nope. It will work perfectly... provided your audio source and destination are fully balanced.
