    [WTB] Sennheiser e903

    Hi guys, anyone have an e903 available? I'm in Northern Ireland, so preferably from inside the EU but I'm open to offers from further afield. I only really need one but I'd definitely consider buying a few of them for the right price. Chris

    Ultrasonic HF boost in DN3600, caused by the transformer?

    I've been measuring my DN3600, partly to measure it and partly to get to know Systune. I don't know if you can set SMAART to show frequencies beyond 20K, but Systune did by default and I noticed a large HF boost starting at around 23K, with a kind of "corner" at 23.35K and rising I...

    Helix EQ modes.

    I'm trying to do a comparison between an DN3600 and a DN9344E, mainly to see what differences there are or aren't when I copy settings from one to the other while they're in the same Q mode. The 3600 has "Q 360" and "Q 27" and the Helix has "DN360", "DN27", "Proportional", "Constant" and...

    Anyone in the UK making an order from KT/ MUSICGROUP spares department?

    Hi, I'm trying to buy the black rubber switch cover for the middle "Setup" button on a DN9344E. Part number: W58-00001-13215 Description: MWK-MD2559-2. The part costs £0.69. Because of the minimum order and the postage fees it would cost a total of £46 for this 69p item. I don't need any other...

    Debouncing a tap tempo switch.

    I have a simple normally-open footswitch that I use to input tempo information to my outboard delay unit. The problem is that it will sometimes register a delay of about 20ms when I'm trying to tap in a long repeating delay, presumably due to bouncing of the switch contacts. Setting a minimum...

    Screwdriver size for M2000 top panel.

    This is a bit simple to be called "DIY" but I'm trying to get into a TC M2000 and I don't seem to have the correct size screwdriver for the top panel screws. They look like phillips heads and are 2mm from the end of one "leg" to the other. They do have the 45 degree pozi type marks between the...

    Cage nut insertion / removal tool.

    This is probably old news to many of you, but for anyone using screwdrivers to get cage nuts in and out one of these can be had very cheaply on ebay. It makes it much simpler and faster, no risk of having a screwdriver slip and jam into something else either. :)~:-)~:smile...

    I want to send wireless MIDI from a laptop's USB port.

    I have a Behringer DEQ2496. It can be controlled by a computer via USB MIDI using this. http://www.seoman.nl/deq2496/DEQremote.html I have a cheap USB MIDI interface, the kind that's just a “line lump” on the cable and it works well. This would be more useful to me if I was able to send the...

    Having to log back in to preview post, and post is gone.

    This has happened a couple of times for me now, both when trying to make new threads. I've taken so long to compose the post that the forum has logged me out, so it prompts me to log in when I press "preview post". I enter my log-in details and am taken to a blank message box with the message...

    Fact check, please.

    I've just read this article: Chris Trimby: Monitor Engineer It contains this paragraph: I'm all for flattening the graphics, but 2dB is 2dB isn't it? Chris

    Help with small rack cabling.

    I'm putting together a small outboard rack containing 2 in 2 out FX, 2 in 2 out EQ and 6 in 6 out of compressors. It will mainly be used in small venues up to maybe 300 seats with GL2400's and similar. It's not impossible that I'll run into a console with balanced inserts, but 90% of the time it...

    BSS DPR-404, some knobs turn more easily than others.

    I got a DPR-404 on Ebay about a month ago, I believe it came out of a theatre install. All functions on all channels are operating correctly as far as I can tell. The issue if it is, is that some of the knobs turn very easily, some are quite stiff and others feel slightly scratchy. I don't mind...

    eBay Description

    Scrolling through the "Signal Processors and & Effects" section of ebay as usual, found this. I like how he doesn't even suggest that it's any good.Alesis 3630 - Daft Punk - Sidechain | eBay The rest of his items are equally amusing. 8O~8-O~:shock: :lol: It'd be good if I could spell...

    Fashion shows

    Right then, how do these work? There's a small church that I help at anytime they have an event beyond the normal traditional service. They're going to be hosting a fashion show. They don't normally do anything that anyone takes particularly seriously, normally it's "show up half an hour before...

    Any reasons to get an AR133 over a J48?

    I have a small mic kit intended for improving upon mics for some of the fundamental band inputs, rather than outright replacing the mics provided by venues etc. Currently I have mics for Kick, Snare, Guitar cabs and Lead vocal. I'm going to be buying one good DI to add to this, for either...
