Me too but NAD put paid to that.

That was one of my worries.

Good luck and keep us informed.

We had this over July/Aug/Sept often two per weekend. Now nothing since 15th November to Feb 9th.

Has anyone used these in anger? Of course it is not as good as using audio cable but I suspect it would suffice in many applications. Thomann Cat Snake

I have a new amp incoming but this thing has been bulletproof. If I don’t sell it and can manage financially, I may keep it. -
Which Type of Dynamic Mic Do You You for Vocals
Chienmortbb replied to Chienmortbb's topic in Amps and Cabs
I did think about adding condenser but you are still the exception for vocal mics on stage. -
I agree but for us weekend warriors, £3K vs £30? In saying that I progamme mine so rarely that I have to re-learn it. Also the firts PARs I boughtb were a new model but the protocol had changed from the old model but they had included the protocol document for the old model. I wasted hours...

How to 'bump' for sale stuff ?
Chienmortbb replied to taunton-hobbit's question in Site Issues and Questions
The BUMP button usually appears at the top after 3 (I think its 3) days. -
I would profess to be a lighting genius but trying to programme a DMX system can be challenging. I bought one of these cheap DMX controllers HERE. It is a real learning curve and the one thing you soon learn is that DMX Is not standard. Even within different PAR cans, the commands are different. You can resolve this using different addresses but be prepared to spend some time perfecting things.

We have had the discussion on here about what mics we use/prefer, but what do the other members of your ensemble use? It is multi choice so you can vote for both.
-
It has been a thing at the cheaper end of the market, paying lip service to the higher frequencies. Shame on Eich for saving money this way although they are not alone. It is one of the reasons that boutique makers like Greenboy, LFSys, and others exist, because the usual suspects play fast and loose with the top end. SEarch on here or on T*lkbass for Markbass combos and the issues with their top ends. If the best you can do is a tweeter and capacitor, do not bother.
-
Yes you need to be careful here. Amplifiers have limits to the size of capacitive load and you could cause your amp to shut down. This is true of Class D amps but may class A/B amps have trouble with capacitive loads.

I don't want this to descend into a fanboy flame war but as the Barefaced battalions are already firing a lo-fi barrage........I had the 12" Monaco and now have the 10" Monza, they all think we are nuts but I agree. The Monza is a tad down on the Monaco for sensitivity so I would consider a second to be sure but one Monaco, absolutely. On a sensible note, it's hard to be sure without knowing how loud the rest of the band are. Talk to Alex at Barefaced, talk to our own @stevie about what you need, but have all the details ready when you do. We are all biased, but of course the Barefaced boys are more biased than me 🤣 -
Sorry for the delay in my reply but, if anyone wants these cables, I can get them as I have a trade account with Sommer, however they are almost €12 before VAT and shipment and the extra customs and handling charges that good old Brexit has resulted in. ( I was looking at retail price, I can sell it at £7/metre). So you are sailing close to £16 per metre plus connectors and connection charges.

Probably just a resistor in line, standard fare to limit current and reduce RF interference. It will do flip all to limit loudness.

in a past life we bought and modified TVs for use on Aircraft. One day the rep came in a told us that a new model was due. Wjat changes we asked? "no headphone socket" . The socket apparently cost 50p but the TV was £5 more expensive once it got to retail! You also have to realise that such tiny boxes cannot use speakons without sacrificing a large-ish amount of real estate.
-
The cost of a jack plug, pennies, a speakon, £s and once you go add manufacturer markup, distributor markup and retailer markup, the speakon could cost several £s more. There is no safety reason that you cannot use a jack at these power (actually voltage) levels. I would always advise against it but who the funk listens to me?

Where do you put the paper, under the bridge? Sorry that would have been Flea.

To make a decent HPF at the driver end mean big heavy and expensive components . You need IMHO something line 18-24dB. That entails a 3rd or 4th order filter. A first or even 2nd order filter ( 6-12dB) would putter cutoff frequency too high. As @Woodwind says it is easier to achieve in ghe signal path rather after the power stages. I think the Thumpinator sets the -3dB point too low although there are lots of them about. If you have WinISD, you can model the driver and then add various filters to see the effect on the low increase by adding higher order filters.

I am seriously going to fall out with you lot. Why do you keep telling me about goodies I don’t need? I WANT them but WANT and NEED are from different continents. Signed Angry of Dorset. Xxx

Well the Veyron is now for sale, nothing wrong with it but I now have a NAD pending.
-
This is a heads up (pardon the pun) The Bugera Veyron MOSFET amp, quoted at 2000 watts but in reality a whopping 700 plus. Hs been stored and shipped in a case since new so In good condition, includes mains cable and speakON cable. I can include case if collected, photos to follow, new amp incoming so something has to go. Postage £15 excluding case. Real pictures will be added by Monday.
