  1. Yes, they take a lot of juice, I think close to 2 amps. If you find that the travel router is not good enough, you may need to get a router like the one mentioned above or one of the more expensive Mesh/IPv6 routers. Are you using 5GHz?
  2. IMHO, it is better to consider Class D amps as modulator/demodulators (modems) or radio transmitter/receivers, where both actions happen within a single unit. PWM is a form of modulation like AM or FM. At no point does the signal in a class D amp need to be converted to 1s or 0s. In some cases, manufacturers may use digital circuits to control aspects of the amplifier, but it is not a prerequisite.
  3. I agree, the advent of IPv^6 plus Mash technology has pushed up top end prices, so £70-£100 is now mid-range. With my Soundcraft UI16, I use a TP LInk Travel Router. Ite has never let me down and when I needed another Ethernet (wired) port, I bought one of these Soho Switch. Here is the Ethernet adaptor I use on the iPad..
  4. I have had quite a few for different projects, and never had a problem, except when trying to use them underwater.
  5. 300W is achievable, but not at 32V and probably not in that enclosure.
  6. Only goes to prove that Leo got it wrong occasionally! Only joking.
  7. Well, that will not help. Can you straighten it?
  8. Hi Ralf, Those 4700uF capacitors are fairly standard, they are on a number of the Trace power supplies. Use a reputable brand, 105 degree temperature rating and the lowest ESR you can get. Going to a higher voltage will increase the cost, but there will be benefits as it will last longer and probably give a better ESR than a 63V capacitor in the same range. I think they have stopped that since Guy Morel retired.
  9. Not the best advert for Behringer, either the PSU failure or the broken handle. I am still interested in looking at the insides, though.
  10. I’m my experience Fender make more of a thud than anything, I would avoid. Olympia are OK but I Would go Elite Detroit Flats
  11. I am coming to the same conclusion, although I have not yet bought the CQ20T. In reality, I probably use the group feature once or twice a year, so it's not the big deal I originally told myself it was. Apparently you can use DCAs (Digitally Controlled Amplifiers) on the Mixing Station, but I barely know the software and have not found it yet. It may be my bias against learning new software, but I do not really like the look of Mixing Station. The consensus does seem to be that the CQ is a step-up in sound quality from both the Behringer/Midas offerings and the Soundcraft UI series, although the Midas and Soundcraft UI24r are supposed to have better mic preamps than the Behringers or the UI12/16s. It has some nice features that the others do not, but there are functional improvements that A&H can make that in future. The original Soundcraft UI firmware did not include many features that we now enjoy, and the current firmware was 3 years after launch. One final thing, how usable is the WiFi? Snap, none of mine are interested in Soundcraft's MoreMe app for personal monitoring. Thanks for taking the time to explain and good luck with the rollout.
  12. It is now fully supported in the latest version.
  13. There are many terms in woodwork that separate the British and Americans Bill.
  14. Exactly. Anyone know of a cure for itchy trigger finger?
  15. I think they use stock photos. The one they supplied to our guitard was centre -ve.
  16. I was just going to suggest MyVolt. Our lead guitard bought one from them recently.
  17. There is a convention in electronics that the positive rail, the 12V, in this case. Is on the centre pin. This is because it is possible for the outer connection to be shorted to earth via another piece of equipment's metal parts. If the 0V or ground (GND) is connected to the outer, it causes less chance of a short circuit (bang followed by magic smoke). Our good friends at Boss. Decided that in order to sell more pedals, batteries were not the answer, so they used a 9V DC power supply but saw that as a sales opportunity. So how could they make more money selling power supplies too, keep us safe from cheap power supplies? The answer initially was to make a proprietary (now de facto) standard for their pedals. So we are stuck with negative centre DC plugs. The other 98% of equipment uses centre positive. Buy one like the Switch Electronics one and solder a new plug, Ask Thomann about a new one or buy one with multiple tips. Get one with multiple tips. The first option is great if you can solder. The second is easiest but maybe more expensive. The third is easy and cheap, but there is the danger that the tip could come off during a gig. If you do go the third route, use some heat shrink to make the mechanical attachment more mechanically secure.
  18. I agree but XLRs are rated at 10 amps whereas many jacks are rated much lower and XLRs are locking.
