    amp bias question

    At the risk of stating the obvious.................. By looking at the circuit. Cathode bias will always have a resistor from the Cathode to ground. And a pull-down resistor from the Grid to ground. Fixed bias will usually have the Cathode going straight to ground, and the grid pull-down...

    diy 5 channel headamp

    Amplifiers also have a characteristic called "Damping Factor". If you Thevenise the amplifier output equivalent circuit, you have a voltage source with a series impedance. The ratio of speaker impedance to amplifier output impedance is the damping factor. Damping stops the speaker cone from...

    Building a Speaker Cabinet for Guitar: Wiring and Theory

    Also be aware HI-FI speakers are designed to a different paradigm than instrument amplifier speakers. Hi-Fi speakers are designed for linear travel. Instrument amplifier speakers are designed so that the coil moves out of the magnetic field on extended excursions. This stops the speaker from...

    Advice for buying a mic

    If you're running your mic through some sort of external preamp, you need to go to the LINE IN (not mic in) on your computer.

    Original vs. Cover

    Zoot's 1970 heavy-metal rendition of Eleanor Rigby. Don't know if it's ever been heard outside of Australia.

    That's OK. Would have been easier if the OP had his country in his profile. Because of the UK plugpack, I assumed he was Britain. Right answer for the wrong reason.

    DMP3 Preamp HUMMING...NO SOLUTION

    Can you plug your oem ac adapter straight into the wall? I suspect the confusion is, the thing you're calling a transfomer, is that white pin adapter. A transformer "transforms", from one voltage to another. Like 240-110. I took it from your original post that you had a 240-110 transformer in...

    DMP3 Preamp HUMMING...NO SOLUTION

    Dude, This just sounds wrong. All you want is an adapter which plugs into your wall socket, and has an output suitable for the DMP3. From a quick google, looks like the DMP3 needs 9 volts AC. You don't specify what the transformer you mention is, but if it's got a US socket on the output, I...

    Poor quality through usb soundcard and preamp

    I have seen sockets on guitars wired up as Tip = signal & Ring = ground (my First Act Lola electric.) Use a balanced TRS lead into something that doesn't match, and it doesn't work. Try a proper TS mono unbalanced guitar lead. This may or may not be your problem, but it caught me out. Amanda

    First lyric attempt

    Be prepared to edit the lyrics slightly to fit the metre of the music once you start laying down a backing track. Oh yeah, and a good start. Amanda

    keyboard and vocals recording

    I'm also in Australia, and in the market for some powered monitors. I can confirm the ridiculous price down here for monitors. The tyranny of distance, perhaps? I can't help but wonder how thick the gold plating is on the KRK's.:) And I haven't seen a Zoom R16 here yet, but the HD16 is about...

    Pitchshift. Translate units please?

    Ta. 100 cents = one semitone. That's the bit I was missing. So, if there are 12 semitones in an octave, then a change of one semitone would be 100/12, or 8.333 percent. Taking 8 cents of that would be 0.667 %.
