Does anyone know how to do it? I have an RE10 here that's not putting out any audio and I need to get inside it to diagnose the problem. I've gotten as far as removing the front windshield and and the various layers of metal and mesh pieces that cover the diaphragm, but am unsure of how to get...

It's finished now, but I thought this was pretty interesting as you don't see much of this stuff for sale in our neck of the woods. Don't really have anything to add. Just throwing it out there for general interest really...

I recently purchased a tape echo unit, and am going to be splicing my own tape loops for it. I figure, given the nature of this sort of device, that my best bet would be to use the thickest tape possible in order to stand up to the rigours of use. That being, the same little loop gets used over...

Hi folks, Does anyone know of a cheap source for rack rails in Australia? Preferably, I'm after the type that doesn't require cage nuts (screw goes straight into rack rail) and in 6U lengths, but I'm pretty flexible. Basically, the same thing as THESE, but located in Australia. If anyone knows a...

Beyer M69 - Some questions... Ok, I just picked up four used Beyer Dynamic M69 mics for a grand total of about $200 Australian (about $175ish US)... Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone knows the best way to dismantle one of these? I'd like to "un-dent" some of the windscreens and also make sure...

Hi folks, I don't have a manual for my TASCAM 133 cassette deck, and there aren't any switches on the front for manually adjusting tape type or bias. So basically, I'm wondering if I'm supposed to be using chrome type II tape only (like in the portastudios) or if it's fine to use other types as...

I have an MX-80 rack mixer and would like to get phantom power connected. I'm curious about the experiences/thoughts/comments/etc. of other MX-80 users with this issue... Did TASCAM ever release a phantom power unit intended for the MX-80? Does anyone have such a unit or pics of one? I guess...

Ok, so I just scored a TASCAM 133 cassette deck off ebay for around $30 Australian. I got it cheaply because it was sold as having a problem: that being that the play button wouldn't stay engaged. Anyway, as I had expected, it turns out the only problem with the thing is a broken belt (as a...

I just bought one of these off ebay. I'm guessing it's just another one of those small, made-to-order brands that use Chinese capsules. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has any data sheets/response graphs for these things? The mic didn't come with any documentation and there's literally no info...

Did some searching of the forum, but there doesn't seem to be much info on this mic out there. I'm curious if anyone has ever used these for drum overheads and how they fared? They're a cardoid SDC; some more technical info can be found here...

Hi folks! Just scored this one off the 'bay. There was no mention of the manufacturer, but it's a cardoid dynamic according to the auction. Is anyone able to identify this one? I haven't actually received it yet, so these are the pics from the auction... Much appreciated! Cheers, Ritzy.

Anyone ever used one of these? I'm wondering if such a mic would be usefull for anything; any thoughts/opinions?

Hey guys, just a quick question... Out of the TASCAM Porta Two HS (High speed version) or the Yamaha MT4X, which is the better four track? I'm speaking specifically in terms of recording quality/fidelity and of the quality of the pre-amps in each unit. I already own a Porta Two (that's the old...

Probably a long shot, but I'm wondering if it's possible to construct your own tapes from cheapo cassette shells and loose tape for use in portastudios? I have a Tascam Porta two High-speed 4 track which requires Chrome, High Bias, Type II, 60 min tapes. These are difficult to come by these...

Hi folks, I recently bought this mic off ebay and have no idea what it is... it's an old school dynamic with a screw-on, 2-pin connector, rather than the common cannon/xlr plug. Length = roughly 18cm (7 inches) Width at element cover = roughly 4cm (1 5/8 inches) Width at base = roughly 2.5cm...

I keep seeing these on ebay Australia and they are pretty damn cheap, and as i'm currently scraping together a relatively basic (read: cheap) studio, these caught my attention. I'm guessing they're nothing special and quite possibly not worth spending any time and money on, but you never know...

Hey folks! Been lurking here a while, but this is my first post... I'm just starting to get into recording and I've very recently purchased a Tascam Porta Two HS cassette 4-track (actually, i'm still waiting for it to arrive in the post). I also have an opportunity to get a dbx model 224 Type...
