    Re: OT: Used Gear

    I totally get it, Dale. We've been on the M32 for about 6 weeks now and though I'm usually playing on the platform instead of sitting in the congregation during the music, the thing is killing me. ...

    ART TubeOpto 8s

    I have five (5) ART Tube Opto 8s for sale. These were removed from a church install and are very clean - no mobile use. All have had the Alesis WaveFront chip that gave trouble in some batches...

    OT: Used Gear

    Our church has, over my strenuous objections, replaced our SAC system from 2009 with a Midas M32. Consequently, we have several TubeOpto 8s and ADA8000s available. Obviously the money they will...

    TubeOpto Issues

    Anyone else having clocking issues with recent TubeOpto 8s? I've had multiple failures of a recent batch (purchased 10/13, 4 units so far) with bad clicks and pops when synced to ADAT. Sometimes...

    Re: OT: Power output vs. speaker impedance

    All valid points, Brent, not trying to start a war here. Perhaps the amp in question couldn't quite meet the THD, IM, or even the slew rate requirement with the larger output voltage swing required...

    For an example, let’s say an amplifier has +/- 40V regulated supply rails. This means that with ideal output devices,...

    Re: OT: Power output vs. speaker impedance

    Also, the maximum output at higher impedances is often limited by the value of the power supply rail(s). Barring a spec error, it's possible that the amplifier simply can't output enough voltage to...

    Re: OT: balanced to unbalanced question

    Well, tying Pin 3 to Pin 1 will make half of the output driver circuitry (presuming there's not an output transformer) look into a dead short. It probably won't hurt anything, but I wouldn't...

    Re: OT: balanced to unbalanced question

    For unbalanced connections, use Pin 2 of the XLR output as hot, Pin 1 as cold. Don't connect Pin 3 at all unless the equipment has a transformer output, in which case you'll need to tie Pin 3 to Pin...

    Re: Watts vs Amps?

    Actually, single phase is indeed 240V. Each side is 120V to neutral. It could be a single transformer, or the 240V side of a 4-wire, 3-phase delta service.

    The 208V shows up in 4-wire, 3-phase...

    My experience with 5 GHz vs. 2.4 GHz also bears out your observations. We never had much luck with the higher frequency, despite having a clear line of sight from a second story router (perched on...

    Minor Feature Request

    This is really minor, but it would be helpful if a channel template store/recall included both the assigned name and preferably the selected color.

    $29.95 + $10 shipping. Seems to be a decent little unit. :)
