OCTAVA mk319 mods To Crazydoc Thanks for your offer but I cant seem to attach the JPEG. I dont really know much about computers. The thread you sent me was great.

octava MK319 mods Following on from resistor values that seem to vary from the value in the manual I have now started to change the capacitors for better quality ones. Each time I remove a component I measure it to see how it compares with the values specified in the manual. I remove parts...

Octava MK319 mods To Flatpicker My R7 is marked and measures 1.8K when disconnected from the circuit board. The manual calls for 1.8K. There is a similar footnote in the manual regarding R7 as there was for R8 except this time the figures mentioned are '1.5K.....1.8K' Confusing. isn't it.

Octava MK319 To Flatpicker and Reshp1. Thanks for your replies. I can get 'stock' 1gig resistors no problem. The 'stock' ones are 5%. I think they are reasonably low noise as well. I just wondered whether they needed to be 'ultra low noise' or any other special needs??. I measured...

Octava MK319 mods MORE QUESTIONS Flatpicker, thank you for helping me with my question, I am gratefull for your info and will get 1000pf polystyrenes I have another couple of questions about modding this mic. can anybody out there help?. 1. I am going to change the 510meg resistors to 1...

Octava 319 mods thanks paddyponchero you may well be right. I just dont know. I'm going to keep the caps at 680pf unless I definately hear otherwise.

Octava MK319 more on mods. I have trolled through the net and cant seem to locate all articles on MK319 mods, but here is what I have managed to find. 1. Remove the HF boost discs. 2 Stick felt to the diaphram side of the plastic seperator which seperates the diaphram area and the...

REGEBRO Thanks for you help. I do have the manual, and I know the meters are out because I altered the trimpots myself by mistake. What an idiot. One of the Revox agents here in the Uk has a pay as you go technical advice line and was very helpfull. The meters are now OK. Once again Regebro...

REGEBRO Thanks for your interest in my problem. Unfortunately I do not have a mixer so I have no meters to register Odb output or any other value. I do have a scope. signal generator. multimeter, and AF voltmeter I am trying to obtain an alignment tape but do not have one yet.

Can anybody help. I have a Revox A77 Mk3. Unfortunately the VU meter trimpots have been put out of adjustment and I want to reset them. Does anybody know how many millivolts should be applied to the AUX input in order that the VU meters will show 'Odb'. The manual mentions '35Mv...

phantom power or battery ? Interesting question and this may seem a strange answer, but it may be of interest although its a bit academic. Basically your mike needs a DC voltage to work, plus it needs sufficient current to adequately reproduce the sounds it is receiving. Sometimes it will need...

To MARCUSWILSON I have a Revox A77. I'ts a great machine. Old, but built like a brick ####house and very reliable. I know it's not part of this discussion but you mentioned mods to improve the Revox. I would be very interested in any details of mods that can be done. I have already changed...

I would like to thank everybody who replied to my question. Paulie. The recorder is a 1/4" 2 track Revox A77. I have replaced many of the electronic components on the boards inside with better ones where possible and the machine performs very well. Background noise is extremely low with...

Can anyone help. I have aquired a 10.5" reel of Ampex 499 tape. Seems as new?, but may be years old. Does anyone know anything about this tape as I don't see it mentioned anyware. How would it compare with Ampex 456 ?? If anyone has any info I would be gratefull.

If you think engineers sometimes overstate their true abilities and worth then what about disc jockeys! Anybody listening to some of them would think that THEY were the musicians instead of the silly prats that just play the music.

Its a puzzle isn't it OB. Turntablist may be right. Unfortunately I don't understand much about computers or anything based on similar type of technology. Only way to be sure is to check with Fostex agent. Mine said there were also a couple of small modifications they would do as well as...

Take a look at the Terratec DMX6fire, 24/96 recording, both types of digital ins & outs. Line, tape ins & outs +mike in. also midi in & outs. Depends on what you want soundcard to do but Terratec is good. I have one and pleased with it. Visit WWW.Terretec.net

Thats interesting OB You may well be right about max of about 8GB being recognised by DMT-8. I have heard 2 different versions of what the machine will recognise. One says about 8GB the other says no more than 2GB. I will have to investigate further as I am never quite sure about whether the...

Thanks JR#97 for the list if disks. Much appreciated. The lists mention suitability for DMT8-VL but are they also suitable for DMT8 ?. I read somewhere that a DMT8 with original software will only recognise 512mb disks, but that if the machine is upgraded to version 2 software it can recognise...

The disks in the list are classified as being suitable for the DMT8-VL. Are they also suitable for the DMT8 ? not DMT8-VL I read somewhere that the DMT8 with original software will only recognise 512 mb disks. If the machine has Version2 software then it will recognise disks up to 2GB but...
