I built Pultec based EQ with some modifications (Peak/Shelving mode, and mid option). You could check it: GarageInstruments(R) - Boutique amplification Its fascinating how it sounds and how famous "low end trick" works. In user manual was prohibited to turn BOOST and CUT at the same time but...

Of course, I did. There is no problem with it. Equalisation is IEC1. Now I listen it again and hiss seems to be normal for tape :) Anyway, this is my "hiss" track: 5sec - 1kHz / +4dBu signal to all tracks from generator and all tracks REPRO mode. Calibration 250nW/m. 5sec - 1kHz / +4dBu...

Hi everyone, this really bothers me. I have 8-track Tascam ATR60 calibrated to 250nW/m. When I playback all 8 tracks and I am using a NEW RTM SM911 blank tape the tape hiss is quite normal. Nothing strange. When I hit record for all 8 track tape hiss is really significant even all inputs on...

Hi guys, I am finishing restoration of my new Studer A80VU 24 track. When it will be finished I will send you pictures just for pleasure and I will describe whole process. BUT: I really need calibration tape. I know that I should buy it from MRL tapes but I ordered 1/2" tape for my 8-track 2...

Hi guys, I have a strange problem with right brake. I had to disassembly brake drum, because of cleaning reel motor bearing. When it was disassembled I cleaned metal brake belt with isopropylalcohol and also brake drum lining. I put it back and brake doesnt work properly - brake force is really...

XLR :( Unfortunetaly, not :( Yes, something like that. But it must be swichable if I do not want to use it. I could make -40dB/decade roll off with 2 RC network in series with single transistor emitor follower to ensure independance from next input impedance. But this require power supply :(...

Hi, I have A&H GS3 mixing console it is good for my analog multitrack recording but I really missing low cut filter or selectable shelving / peak EQ on LF. There is only a sweepable peak EQ on LF (20Hz to 600Hz). The problem is when I cut some mud for example at 150Hz, I still heard rumbling at...

My wiring: and I tried this: Tally supply -> SS TACHO+ -> FF TACHO- -> HH DIR+ -> K DIR- -> RR Results: 1. After first power on I could control ATR transport commands via ES-50/51 module, except REC function. When I pressed REC and after that PLAY nothing happened. REC button...

OK - I think that DIRECTION+- signal is Up/Down signal or K pin on Accessory connector. Direction information is on Q output of U3 flip-flop. This information goes to U/D signal on remote board and to ACCESSORY connector. So DIRECTION+ will be U/D signal and DIRECTION- will be ground. In a ES-50...

Sorry guys. Sorry, for my late response. I had lot work to do, but.. I bought the machine because everything works - except one thing. I cound not try ATR / ES50-51 connection because the master cable was wrong - it had ACCESSORY connector and some cannon 9pin connector. So I use this ACCESSORY...

Great explanation, thank you so much! Now it is a more clear for me. May I have a few questions about ES-50/51 unit? Now I understand, it so sad that I will lost one track, but is there a big crosstalk from timestamps to lets say track 7? I mean, if track no.7 can be still used for audio...

Hi everyone! this is my first thread here I hope that will be helpful for other people too :) I want to buy my first multitrack - accually on 70% I bought it - I made a deal with a seller and I have one week for change my mind. It is TASCAM ATR 60 8 tape recorder with: (see attached pics) -...
