The only thing I know about the A&H QU-PAC outputs are they're balanced?

Thanks I'll do this

Mic stands are not high level engineering, I have a mix of K&M, Beyer and no-name stands which all work ok*. As long as you have a few spares you'll be fine. * I'm definitely an advocate of buying good gear for piece of mind and for long term reliability but I have old, cheap mic stands which are ...

Yes I want to have the XLR end for this reason

The screws for the tripod base have arrived today and they have fixed the issue. My Pulse stands have had a fare amount of use for almost 10 years and the only issue I've had is a simple £1 fix. This makes me feel more inclined to get a couple more for the immediate future as I don't really have the ...

Thanks. It is the Fischer In Ear Stick. I need two female XLR outputs from the QU-PAC to one single male XLR into the Fischer In Ear Stick.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a cable to be able to use my Fischer IEM belt pack in stereo. The specs for the Fischer In Ear Stick say it is configurable for balanced mono signals or unbalanced stereo signals. The QU-PAC has balanced outputs so do I need a Y cable with two female balanced XLR's to a single ...

It's K&M all the way for me. I've had too many issues with cheap stands in the past. Cheap stands - quite hideous - horrible to use and fall to bits. That said, the Pulse ones were reasonable for the money - especially the short ones. But they'll eventually fail exactly as you've found, with thread ...

They should work fine if the thread in the base is good.

Oops yes, 14mm

I have just measured the bolt and would say it’s roughly 6mm in diameter and 140mm in length.

Thanks. It looks like K&M sell these bolts in lots of different sizes! I just need to find the correct sized nut to fit one of these and hopefully all will be sorted. As none of the other parts on the Pulse stands have failed I would prefer to fix these especially if it’s a simple fix that will only ...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. These will be for live use. Everything else about the Pulse stands have been working fine, it’s just the screw at the base of the tripod that has worn. I will have a look in a few local hardware stores to see if there is anything available. Also, I have messaged P ...

Here are a couple of photos of the parts that have developed this issue.

Hi, I have a few budget (£20) Pulse mic stands which have had a lot of use over the past 10years. Recently I’ve experienced an issue with the screw in the tripod base where it no longer tightens. As a result, I’m either considering fixing these stands or buy something new. Has anyone experienced this ...

Lightweight and folding on my main requirements. I don't mind spending up to £150-£200.

Yes I need something lightweight that can fold as well

Thanks.

Hi,

I’m looking to buy a trolley/cart for a pair of RCF 702as mk3’s. If it’s convenient I would also potentially like to put a pair of RCF NX910’s on as well but not essential.
Some of the venues I play at are pretty rural so fields and gravel are quite common.

What would you recommend?

“Sewing machine license” :smirk: I have to admit I’m quite tempted to add a pair of the 905’s or newer Sub15ax’s to my inventory. This would give me me options to bring to different sized events. Having the flexibility to turn up with various combinations would be a wonderful luxury Smallest events - ...

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the new mk3 905’s. Unfortunately they are bigger and heavier than I want to carry by myself. There are often occasions where it’s not possible to push a cart because of the rural location of many venues.I wouldn’t want to have to carry the 905mk3’s long distance ...

I would really like to hear the 905as mk3 with the NX910’s at some point as I would expect this combination to be a great match. Perhaps if I start to do larger events again I may add the 905’s.

Which RCF subs did you try out?
