Re: Soundcraft Spirit Folio 10-2 mixer - need resistor values
sounds like a plan! Showing my ignorance, but when you say 'meter out the rails'... do you mean check for any continuity between the +15v, 0v, -15v rails from the power input or something else?

Re: Soundcraft Spirit Folio 10-2 mixer - need resistor values
sorry about that! Not being in any way experienced in these matters, I didn't think the revision number would be that crucial. I've emailed support at soundcraft website (info@soundtech.co.uk), in the hope that I can get the right schematic. As far as I can tell, it's not to be found anywhere online...

Re: Soundcraft Spirit Folio 10-2 mixer - need resistor values
Fantastic responses all... thank you so much! Looks like my hope of 'just' replacing 3 resistors was a little naive then... :cry: The schematic I linked was the closest thing I could find online, it would be great if I could find the exact one... don't suppose anyone can suggest a source online that...

Soundcraft Spirit Folio 10-2 mixer - need resistor values
Hey all... I just acquired one of these: https://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/small-but-perfectly-formed/10492 a nice little 1990s mixer. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. The problem seems to be with the master side, basically, there's a very low level distorted output in the left channel and nothing i...

Re: Bending | String under or on
Up and down sides to both in my experience. I find the low frets on my Gibson tend to encourage me to slide more in my playing, e.g instead of doing a hammer-on/off i'd slide up or down to the note. Also, it just feels more "slick" moving up and down the neck as you hardly notice the frets...

Re: Bending | String under or on
I have very low actions on my guitars, so there's no over or under for me; all the strings just get pushed sideways next to each other. Same for me... I actually have incredibly low frets (like paper matches from a matchbook laid across the finger board is one apt description I saw somewhere). It's...

Re: overcoming dull, boxy, harsh sound of cheap dynamic mics
Various mic setups can be successful for narration. Recently I've been using a DPA 2006C omni mic in upright position. it's covered by a heavy blanket on a higher stand, so no room sound at all, and I'm very close to the mic. https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZkavEXZk8RkrYROVXF92QHN7IMT9SwWi...

Re: overcoming dull, boxy, harsh sound of cheap dynamic mics
I am glad you have found a solution RionZ but would like to point out that the M99 is hardly a 'typical' dynamic microphone? It is actually designed to mimic to some degree the characteristics of capacitor mics it is also a hypercardiod whereas most dynamics are just cardiod. I cannot find a price ...

Re: Rode cable... noise with a dynamic mic
Ok so here goes... gulp... It turns out my "rode" cable had fallen onto a small DC power supply behind my desk! My apologies to all... However... I did learn something interesting about shielding/grounding, my thanks for that. It turns out both cables are electrically continuous between pi...

Re: overcoming dull, boxy, harsh sound of cheap dynamic mics
Just to say... I was using a Rode NT1a for audiobook narration for about a couple of years, before switching to a Beyerdynamic M99. I also had the same debate (with myself!) about whether or not it would/should pick up less extraneous noise, however there was another factor in my decision to go dyna...

Re: Rode cable... noise with a dynamic mic
I didn't really mean to malign Rode as a company! As far as the Rode NT1a goes, it's a fantastic mic at that price point. And, given the price, I wouldn't expect a top-notch cable to be thrown in to the bundle. Furthermore, I should point out that as far as the NT1a mic is concerned, there was no au...
