Why does Thomann take so long to despatch?
nilebodgers replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
Their returns go to a UK address, so I suspect this is their distribution hub for out and back. -
Trace Wattage, I Know, Old Topic, But...
nilebodgers replied to Count Bassie's topic in Amps and Cabs
Lol. I’ve still got one of those (in storage) and it really is unfeasibly heavy. When I recover it I am toying with putting the amp bit in a sleeve and dumping the cab as it is unusably heavy all together. -
For Sale is my mid-80's Yamaha BB1100s. This is the active/passive switchable version with 3-band eq (in active mode). Everything works, but it has the usual minor dings of a 30+ year old instrument. I have tried to capture them as best as I can in the pics. Made in Taiwan. Weighs 3.5kg and comes with new Rotosound RS66 fitted. Had a new switchcraft jack socket not long ago as the original one had got a bit intermittent. Everything else is original. Comes with a lightweight hard case and I have a shipping box so can courier for £25-ish (£15-ish more if full insurance is required). Or can meet up in or around Norwich. (No trades/swaps thanks - I need the bass count to go down!)- 1 reply

it needs a bit of care, 120Hz should be fine, but if you go higher and start to get low male vocal in the subs things can start to sound a bit strange.

I always ignore those AI overviews as they are invariably utter nonsense. That is a very good example!

I got a little lift-off lid flight case for mine so it can live in the case when being used. As per the end of this Facebook thread - the udggear case. https://www.facebook.com/groups/3457246984538074/posts/3768296876766415/

Using column PA speakers as stage monitors?
nilebodgers replied to Beedster's topic in PA set up and use
It’s a good question to ask. In a small venue at lower levels I’ve sometimes put the FOH speakers behind the band so that everyone just hears the main mix. This can sound really nice if the band can blend themselves and the singers aren’t struggling. -
This is good advice!

Yes, I know - I’ve already added my 2p’s worth. Either the ability to un-route a channel from the LR mix (I.e. to fake a subgroup by feeding a post-fade aux into a spare channel) or a multifunction aux/subgroup implementation. I think the outcome is probably as much a marketing & product range segmentation issue as anything technical.

I have just got a CQ-18T and I am impressed. I worked in pro audio for years before I retired, so have a lot of experience of larger scale digital, but this little thing is very capable. I’d have killed to have something like this when I got started doing band sound in the mid 90’s! The only thing missing from my POV is subgroups with full eq for things like groups of lav mics, but I can live without and it would be a nice bonus if they add them in a firmware update. (Some flexible busses that could be either be an aux or a subgroup would be perfect)

JLPCB. Very cheap, good quality and delivery is quicker than I’d have expected for the cheap options.

Now that is nice work. I’ve just designed and made my first SMT board for 22 years. I can’t believe I used to do this stuff without a magnifier. (and a proper lab with expert technicians to do things too fiddly for the design engineers!)

There is a cable in the DI output of that preamp, so no mic strictly needed anyway. Sticking a mic in front of a port will give lots of signal around the tuning frequency of the port and not a lot at other frequencies. Probably plus a load of wind noise to boot. Not normally what is wanted.

The DL16s looks like a decent unit. I’ve been comparing the spec and software with the A&H CQ20b and it is very similar, but the Mackie has the advantage of subgroups, more routing options, simultaneous geq and peq on aux and main outs, high pass filters on aux outs etc. Bit more of a complete offering where the CQ is very stripped-back. It’s only 2.4Ghz wifi though, so it would need an external router to get out of the crowded wifi bands. I’d always want a wired Ethernet pc running alongside tablet control for these surfaceless mixers anyway, so both the A&H and Mackie need an external router to do this.
