    Testing earbuds w/ transfer function for impedance curve

    For about a year now I've been testing rental earbuds (ie earbuds that come back from rentals) by using SMAART to produce a rough impedance curve of each bud to look for variations from standard. Now I'm just musing about ways to make it a quicker and more portable setup. Here's how it...

    That "enlightened soundcheck" thing...

    Since it's come up a couple times recently I've been thinking about it... that whole minimal soundcheck thing, don't bother tweaking anything by itself, etc. When I was first learning sound there would have been no way for me to pull that off. I do it nowadays because I have experience, but...

    Fischer connector used w/ Vokkero intercom?

    Anybody familiar with the headset connectors used with Vokkero sports/referee intercom systems? According to the Phonak (headset supplier) they are made by Fischer, but as usual there's no part # and the website isn't very helpful. We're hoping to avoid putting a lav mic on referees for the...

    Reterminating Lemo for Sennheiser wireless

    I've been trying to make sense of what's needed for installing Lemo connectors for Sennheiser wireless. I talked to one of the experts at Sennheiser and got some useful stuff, but figured it was time to ask the community what they knew. Turns out my company already had the $200 ring spanner...

    Trying to move SMAART 6 to a new laptop, and I'm not finding a login/authorization at either Mackie or EAW. Is this now a product that is stuck on existing installations?

    Test thread - replies needing moderator approval?

    Had a weird one in Varsity, replied to a thread and ended up with something like "your post will be displayed once approved by a moderator". Never had that happen before, except maybe when I first registered here. This thread is to test that.

    Sources for VEAM pins?

    Anybody know of sources for VEAM pins as used in the Meyer system? I can get kits from Meyer, but instead I just need a couple specific sizes. Whoever stocked VEAM parts and tools here (maybe 10 years ago) left bags of some pins and sockets, so I don't want to accumulate more of the pins I...

    AC line loss causes hum

    Here's an interesting thing I ran across a couple weeks ago. I did a service call to a big church with the praise band, to troubleshoot hum problems in their monitor wedges. We (me and the house tech) went through all the usual things. Finally found that the hum occurred between the monitor...

    Just wanted to put in a plug for a relatively inexpensive TCP/IP cable tester I've been using for a few months now to verify that our Cat5e / Cat6 cable actually meets specs - something that's kind of important when you're depending on a skinny cable to carry dozens of channels while risking...

    Anybody know where I can get CEEP parts (basically pins & sockets) for Socapex here in the States? We got a deal on some second-hand Soca (the usual 19 pin stuff) but its all a couple pins short. 12/16 wire, so I just want to do the shared ground wires thing like our 12/14 Socapex.

    IRP (defunt company) mixer replacement?

    Anybody remember a company called IRP? I ran across a rackmount 8-channel mixer in a church (wireless install), has a couple bad channels. The interesting thing is that this is apparently an automixer, though it just looks like a cheesy 80's rackmount mixer. We might recommend a more modern...
