    ART PRO MPA 2 - XLR chanel 1 is not working

    Ques 1 ;"You have mentioned the following diods: "d206 and d207 and the other set d210 and d211...." I found them on the channel 2, the schematics corresponds to the right input and output... so in my case I should be testing: D204 D205 and D200 D201 located on the broken Chanel 1?' Answ 1; If...

    How critical is it that a pair of SD's be matched?

    Here is what CAD says their M179 looks like in Cardioid mode and what I measured it at compared to a measurement mic with pink noise as the source. I smoothed mine so it is comparable. The peak around 3500 hz looks similar but where they indicate another at around 6500, I have a slight dip...

    How critical is it that a pair of SD's be matched?

    When you flip the phase on one they should null (no sound) if they are matched in intensity at each frequency. It's used all of the time to match gain levels on interfaces before starting to record. I do it on stereo pairs before recording and to check that drum mics are in phase. In reality it...

    How critical is it that a pair of SD's be matched?

    Hi Rob, I started a new post that has Match EQ used on two mics that are the same model but made at different times and not factory matched, just my random pick of two (I have six of them). I played a sample track through one monitor and recorded it on both of the mics. I put up samples of...

    HI Keith. I started a new post that has Match EQ used on two mics that are the same model but made at different times and not factory matched, just my random pick of two (I have six of them). I played a sample track through one monitor and recorded it on both of the mics. I put up samples of...

    ART PRO MPA 2 - XLR chanel 1 is not working

    If this is the correct diagram, you have two identical circuits, one for the right input, one for the left. The balanced input also has the phantom supply. Are you using the phantom power when trying the "dead" channel? The 48 volts for this will be the same supply for each half but it does have...

    "Match EQ" plugin Experiment to hear the effect on same model but random mics

    Keith Rogers inspired me to take a little time for a "Match EQ" experiment. Thanks Keith. After PDX Smitty asked about using a non factory matched, but identical model microphone with his first I thought this might shed some light on what is possible? I know "Match Eq" is available on Logic...

    ART PRO MPA 2 - XLR chanel 1 is not working

    See if the place where you found the schematic has the other 3 pages as this is 2 of 4. Then we'll see if we can point in a direction? Congratulations BTW, you have exactly one more page than I ever got from ART. They would never even reply to me. I stopped purchasing anything from them as...

    How critical is it that a pair of SD's be matched?

    Keith, BTW I love your signature about the knowing the morning is going to be good when... Yep, I'm like like the Pope in only one way, if I wake up in the morning I get down and kiss the ground and enjoy the day. Cheers, Tom eh

    How critical is it that a pair of SD's be matched?

    Still an interesting aspect that would still be worth doing the experiment between Eq Matched and manufacturer matched? Thanks for the inspiration Keith. Cheers, Tom eh

    How critical is it that a pair of SD's be matched?

    Well that is a deep dive for certain. Two mics of the same model, 84's or 184's. That's was what the poster was asking about. I believe someone else may have mentioned different mics? Same model equals same structure, body, cage, and screen. The element that can change and the manufacture...

    How critical is it that a pair of SD's be matched?

    Also a great tool for finding out the true profile of all your rmics. You can line them all up (if you have enough inputs), record the pink noise playing back through the monitor, include a measurement microphone recording, use the measurement mic as the reference for the rest of the mic's...

    How critical is it that a pair of SD's be matched?

    Hi. That isn't a big issue in reality, even using them in a stereo pair method (X_Y, ORTF etc.) If you are using Logic Pro you can use "EQ Match " to create an exacting frequency match. Place them side by side face one monitor, play pink noise through that monitor, record both mics for about a...

    Recording bass

    Lot's of great, real, experienced advice. What are the common threads? 1. Every bass player works on "their sound" until they take their last breath, me included. 2. True with all electric instruments is that the combination of bass, amplifier, speaker and player make up their sound and some...

    Integrating AD/DA converters into an existing DAW and interface?

    Yep. It reminds of when SOS a preamp comparison. https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/pick-preamp-media No one could identify anything and they couldn't decide which ones they liked when simply changing only the microphones.

    Integrating AD/DA converters into an existing DAW and interface?

    You have the practical/great answers already. There is lot's of hype right now about D to A and A to D converters, lot's of glossy magazine ads and as already stated, if you don't have an top of line playback system (truly) and a room to match, I doubt you are going to hear a difference let...
