Yes, I got 3 Presonus Bluemax compressors that way. One was working, one was dead, and one was intermittent. I fixed the dead one by replacing the dead on-board power transformer (got an exact replacement after a 10 second google), and I fixed the intermittent one by re-flowing solder over a...

I was thinking more along the lines of Monty Python...

Well, it looks like it would do the job. I have *not* seen or used the device in question, however. If in doubt, you could contact the manufacturer. I had a simpler fixed attenuator in mind, perhaps something like a Naiant MPD Inline Attenuator Good luck!

The 70dB of gain available from the pre does not specify the actual output of the pre-amp. It just tells you how much the input signal will be amplified - in this case, I calculate a gain of approximately 3000. 12dBu, however, tells you that your converter will clip if you hit it with more...

Let's assume that the XLR and TRS ouputs of the Presonus are active simultaneously (they may not be): You could run in to issues on account of paralleling of the input impedances on the connected equipment. That would have the effect of lowering the impedance seen by the output of the...

Coffee came out of my nose when I saw this! Sorry, back to your regular programming...

If you go with the Focusrite, I don't think you would be disappointed with a GLS Audio ES-57 or ES-58. These cost under $30 a piece (shipping extra) and they sound very good. This would form a functional starting point from which you could build as finances permit.

I just hope that there is an XP driver for that epic steering wheel.

How was the mic placed, Henry?

A PA system stands for Public Address system. And, as mentioned right above, please provide some info about what you want to do, and you'll get some decent advice.

For pickup solutions, maybe Peterman can help? Hunter Valley Art Gallery and Peterman Music Instrument Factory Another option might be to just Blu-Tak an omni mic inside. Check Naiant Naiant - Custom Audio Recording Equipment

Well, I have some 33-1090B. These measure about 138mm by 123mm.

This is in danger of becoming a Mass Debate.

The basic circuit is the same. The project I am building is the compilation of various mods which build on PRR's original circuit. You will find some info here and here.

Hi Blue Jinn! The pcb I have is from AC Sound: AC Sound PRR-176 Vari-Mu Tube Compressor Rev. 2 I bought these tube sockets: New Ceramic 9 Pin Vacuum Tube Socket PC Mount Valve | eBay and these tube retainers (not sure if I need them though?):4pc Tube Retainer Holder for 9pin Valve 12AX7 12AU7...

And that is most certainly a very valid reason. At the end of the day, I wonder if the "debate" is peripheral. To me, it seems that people caring passionately about what they do is the most important thing. I worry that the very concept of the "crafter" is in decline, in Western cultures at...

I really wanted to get my panels laser etched. Sadly, the one-off prices for laser etching that I can get done locally were simply unacceptable. Even Front Panel Express is not that cost effective. For my project budget, I prioritize toward components rather than cosmetics. But I still want...

For panel artwork, I am looking into this stuff: Texascraft.com - The eCommerce store of Papilio, manufacturer of specialty Inkjet and Laser media This material is apparently not reliant on a laser printer that uses fuser oil, as the popular Lazertrans does. I've got a few interesting projects...

While lowering the pickups is a work-around, I would still like to know what is happening at the interface. Which model Sapphire is the interface? Photo? This is the specification for the current Sapphire 6 USB, from the Focusrite web site. From this, we see that the maximum input level for...

It may be possible to exceed 0dBFS in an audio file if the audio data is stored in floating point. In that case, at some point prior to DA conversion, the audio data would certainly need to be normalized/scaled so that the highest peaks fell at or under 0dBFS to avoid digital clipping.
