Re: BehringerMods (AudioSmile) DCX output upgrade report
Behringer has developed an un-coveted reputation in the audio industry as a fine purveyor of bargain basement junk. Why would anyone modify / upgrade something not worthy of the time and money? I know the pricing looks attractive to someone just getting started, but it really isn't money well spent....

Re: How to build Rack Panels and put together a rack
Good info. I use a straight edge as you do, but only long enough to mark the holes with a fine tip sharpie felt pen, and then I remove the connectors and center punch and drill to the center of all the felt pen marks. I also prefer mounting the connectors from the back side of the panel as it has a ...

Re: Favorite vocal mic?
I agree fully with Bruce and Brent, the SM58 isn't the best sounding mic in the world, but it's reliable, robust, and generally sounds good for most all voices. An RE-20 is also a great sounding mic, but due to it's size, it's more at home in a broadcast or recording studio. Years ago I had a bunch ...

Re: New iphone
I think it's stupid parents that create stupid children, by example. There are certainly a lot of them around due to mankind being the only animal on earth that bucks natural selection.Bill Fitzmaurice wrote: ↑Sat Nov 04, 2017 2:34 pm Proof positive that God loves the stupid even more then he does the poor, as he creates many more of them.

Re: Popular Electronics magazine archive
Lot's of good information there. My dad subscribed to Popular Electronics when he was a teen in the 50's and kept his subscription until the late 1980's. I started reading the earliest issues when I was 13, and subsequently read every issue up until dad discontinued his subscription. That was the re...

Re: Simplexx 212
Update: I did sound production for a music festival on Sunday, and had my Simplexx 212 cabinet in the backline. Because I had a friend mixing at FOH, I was running the stage. Pretty much every bassist that came on stage asked me about the cabinet after they plugged in and played a few notes, like&q...

Re: Simplexx 212
I should mention that I put the cabinet on the scale today, just out of curiosity. It weighs in at 63 lbs., casters, scoop handles and all.

Re: Project for youth
Since the group would not be building them for commercial purposes you'd only need to buy one set of plans for all of them. With the series/parallel wiring it would be pretty complicated to switch all those drivers, and you wouldn't get an accurate result anyway, as any unused drivers would act as ...

Re: Birdhouses?
It's interesting the comment about birdhouses. When a friend of mine saw the T48s half built, he arrived at the same impression.

Simplexx 212
For years I've been using an EV TL606 cabinet with a JBL E140 for my bass cabinet, but I was never happy with the tone. I decided to bite the bullet and try something different. There were a few used Ampeg 212 cabinets listed in the local classifieds, but they seemed overly heavy, and a little bit p...

Re: A beginners guide to soldering.
I'm not sure what the ratio would be, but I would just dissolve some crushed rosin into an ounce or two of alcohol until it has the viscosity of corn syrup, or slightly thinner. I use really cheap beginners rosin, which can be had for a few dollars at the most. A block like this will last years unle...

Re: A beginners guide to soldering.
While unnecessary for non-SMDs, liquid electronics solder flux makes soldering much easier. It's a messy but essential part of my electrical tool bag. http://www.amazon.com/GC-Electronics-Solder-Flux-Liquid/dp/B004RIF3BM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370529958&sr=8-1&keywords=liquid+solder+fl...
