    Have you met my friend Noddy?

    I once went to the Dr it’s a sore ear. She asked if I used cotton buds, “no” I said “Put nothing in your ear smaller than your elbow.” The Dr asked who gave me that advice? “You” I said, “ about 15 years ago!”

    It proves what I was told was true that BLX came from “the dogs rowlocks”.

    The first thing you need to check is the number of Aux or Bus outputs available on the Dynacord. Looking at the manual for the 600-3, it looks like you have just MON and AUX. So you cannot have more than two monitor mixes. The Dynacord looks to be a great Powered mixer but it is limited in this respect. If it is just you going IEM, then try a wired system initially fed from the Aux output. I use KZ ZS10 earpieces, plus the Behringer P2. Total cost about £90. Be warned that the KZ ZS10 have a scooped response and without a separate EQ on the AUX output, will be bass heavy and have a suck out in the mid region. However they do outperform( in my opinion) many dedicated IEM earphones fro the usual subjects. @EBS_freak and @Phil Starrhave much more experience than me however and will hopefully put me right, where needed.

    I think we do need a little more info before we start posting recommendations.

    Thanks. I would not sell, but I want multichannel recording and there is a one in one out policy.
  7. Chienmortbb
    Sorry!

    It is not the only parameter, but it is important. I will agree that it is not the most important part of the spec.

    I agree that the early ones were poor, but I have played one recently that was OK.

    I Lied. I remember seeing one of these on a music shop wall and tried it. I have never played a bass with a worse setup. I was really disappointed. (this is not a joke)
  11. Chienmortbb
    NO they are wrong, it was designs after the P that are wrong🤣

    To be honest I feel the opposite, The 'Ray looks all wrong and the elongated top horn on the Sire will place the bass in a more playable position, and help with the balance. In my opinion the Stingray pickup is in an unusable position. However, if you consider the bass a percussion instrument, you may well disagree. I am going as I might have outstayed my welcome here..

    That once made me take an SB2 out of my basket, good news.

    I have heard of a balsa ply where the ply are arranged edgeways. Apparently very strong and light.
  15. Chienmortbb
    Yes indeed. One of the reasons I retired/was made redundant.

    The Ui16 is a 16 input mixer, of which 12 are mic/line. It is controlled either Inputs 1 and 2 can be set to HiZ to take a guitar or bass directly, and there are numerous Digitech effects built in. Each input has Parametric or simple EQ, HPF, Compressor, Gate, Delay, Echo, Reverb, Room. Both Main L/R outputs and the 4-6 Aux outputs has multi and graphic equalisers plus feedback suppression. Features 4 Aux buses, they can be increased to 6 by losing the headphone facility. Control is via an any device that has a web browser. No special software or app is required. Soundcraft Say: The Ui Series mixers feature cross-platform compatibility with iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OS, and Linux devices, and can use up to 10 control devices simultaneously. In addition, the Ui12 and Ui16 each feature built-in HARMAN signal processing from dbx, DigiTech and Lexicon, including dbx AFS2, DigiTech Amp Modelling, and more. Both models feature fully recallable and remote-controlled mic gain and phantom power, along with 4-band parametric EQ, high-pass filter, compressor, de-esser and noise gate on input channels. 31-band graphic EQ, noise gate and compressor on all outputs, plus real-time frequency analyser (RTA) on inputs and outputs. Built in are three dedicated Lexicon FX busses: Reverb, Delay and Chorus. In addition, mixer controls include Subgroups, Mute groups and View groups, among others. The Ui Series mixers feature full Show/Snapshot recallability with channel recall safes. while security lockout features allow customization of device access to only specific functions and mixes if needed. Both mixers also offer independent network interfaces on board for simultaneous control by Wi-Fi and Ethernet, plus a floor-ready rugged chassis for live applications. The Ui16 boasts eight XLR combo mic/line inputs, four XLR mic inputs, two channels of Hi- Z/instrument inputs, as well as a stereo RCA line input. A 2-channel USB media player is included, along with four balanced XLR Aux outputs, two quarter-inch headphone outputs with level control, plus balanced stereo XLR and quarter-inch main outputs. Two-channel USB audio playback is compatible with MP3, WAV and AIFF formats, and 2-channel USB Record direct-to-memory devices functionality is possible as well.

    Does it change if you change form FET to Tube (I thought Laney were a British Company)?

    Glue is best used sparingly, and the staples would keep the cabinet shape while the glue dries. The big problem with Trace was their insistence on using MDF for many cabs. Now MDF is second only to Concrete as a cabinet material, but they have similar issues,,, MASS. As heavy as funk for a given thickness.

    If there is noise, it will show when treble is raised.

    @agedhorse Thank you for posting that snippet of the Standard. It is now close to 15 years since I retired, and with retirement I lost my access to the Standards Library at work. I should also confess that whilst Audio was the driver that led to my career in Electronics, I spent just about all my working life designing and testing Video products. While having the basic grounding, I don't have the earned experience that you have. In case anyone wants to see the whole standard, it is 425 Swiss francs or approx £400.

    This was my reasoning too.

    This is an area where a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and I admit to being an enthusiastic amateur as far as loudspeakers are concerned. However, I was an Electronic Engineer by profession. The speaker is being overdriven NOT the amp, that will still be outputting the same signal. The amp will clip if the input signal is too high, within limits the speaker will not affect. As the speaker exceeds Xmax, it will become non-linear as the coil is outside the influence of the magnet, and you will get compression. Push it too far, and you could destroy the speaker (XLim or XDamage) I used a 200 watt speaker from an 800 watt amp on Friday for two hours, without any problem. The term "True RMS" was coined for describing the readings of voltmeters and multimeters, as the early digital voltmeters could only measure RMS voltage for a single pure sine wave. Anything else would cause an incorrect reading. True RMS meters should read accurately, whatever the waveform. True RMS is not a term I recognise in amplifier specifications. In fact, to be a pedant, there is no such thing as RMS power as RMS voltage x RMS current gives average power (although some in HIFI circles dispute this definition of average power). To understand why you have to know what the terms RMS means, not the literal Root Mean Squared but the practical use. The RMS voltage is that which causes the same rise in temperature, in a given resistance, as a given DC voltage. So put 120/240 volts DC across an electric fire element, and it will give out as much heat as if you put 120/240V volts (RMS) AC across it.

    I have a long lead with several sockets at 1 metre intervals. I lay it across the back of the stage and everything, including the PA, is run from it. It is rated at 13 amps and that gives us a limit of just over 2900* watts, but we rarely use the big PA and even that is within limits. It avoids this type of problem. *Calculated at 230V ac. In most places the UK voltage is still around, or above 240V ac. so clsoefr to 3100 watts.

    Would fit an LFSys Monza fine! I don't need a new head, but it would go nicely on my Monza.

    Fill your boots. It's your thread and if people disagree they can look away.
