    Mixers and Home Recording

    Sounds like a good idea. Over here, the Spirits with analog supplies are plentiful. I imagine nobody cared enough to go the external PSU road. I'm in the process of buying a 32/8/2 inline one. Or maybe a Tascam. The Soundcraft is a little too big. The Tascam requires more work, as the...

    Mixers and Home Recording

    Yes Dave. You're absolutely right. That darned "E" series. I tend to forget about those. They didn't do to well over here. I've never had to repair one. Maybe everyone who owned one threw it out?

    Mixers and Home Recording

    None of the Soundcraft PSU's are unreliable by design. The smaller mixers just have an external transformer. Easy enough to source. Ubfortunately with a proprietary connector. But if you need to, it's a good opportubity to replace ith with fi a 3. Pin mini XLR. The serious mixers have...

He and his company got sued by the family of a guitar player who died because of a wall socket that had live connected to ground. None of the 3$ tools will "see" that as a fault, while it's...

    DOD 1642 mixer

    I've set my eye on an old DOD 1642 mixer as extra. It's 16 channels, has a lot of routing possibilities and uses the SSM2017 IC for the mic preamps. Anybody know anything more about these mixers? Like how's the EQ? They're virtually unknown this side of the pond and Google isn't any help either.

    Need headphones with soft pads - but which one to go for?

    I know the problem. With my Senn's, the problem solved itself. The plastic gave way after years. I should get new pads and I've promised myself the velvet ones. Whenever it really annoyed me, I just put on the Jecklin Float. Looks silly, but is very comfortable. You just don't want to do any...
