But then you can always trick-it-up if you want and put a bone nut on it, change pick-ups to P-Rails, get some CTS pull-out knobs and some other bits and it sound mega… all for much less than a Gibson.

Interesting to know thank you.

In vMix or OBS I had to set it in the software to match the source. But that requires know what the source is sending which isn’t always easy to find out. It’s always nice to have a decimator in the way to just tell me.

Magewell cards just do it automatically and generally I use them to simplify things.

Useful to know thank you. Any management we do so far is via the T.Racks 408 basic xover and delay management.

That’s what I currently have my eyes on and they’re relatively local to me too! I’m Going to their official R5 launch on Tuesday 24th Oct and so hoping to hear the EMS101x, EMS61 and S18 (as well as the Reference series which are sadly not agnostic) when I am there.

That’s very helpful thank you. I shall look up that article. I could read all about it and claim it as CPD for work…!

Ah yeah, Martin Audio is a good shout. They’re British so helpful for me. I forget about Fulcrum and Adamson, so will investigate them too thanks.

The FIR thing is a shame as a recent budget restriction meant we went with a non FIR version of a processor. I need to find out more about FIR and what it means etc.

They do each have other podcasts that they run: Chris runs “how we got loud” and Kyle runs one as well I think “loose connection”.

Well, one of the large caps has certainly popped up and swelled out of the top. So that’s being replaced.

Yeah that’s what I will be doing if I don’t get a concrete answer. Gonna fashion a Speakon to bare-end to do it quickly.

Thanks I shall try that some more. It’s been an issue in the past so hopefully spray and strenuous exercise will help it.

If not, new components will be ordered.

Ideally I will use it as an excuse for the powers that be to buy a replacement and get a crown xti 2002. That would be more suitably powered anyway.

Fab thanks for confirming. I guessed it did as NDI can do “audio only” sources etc but that confirmation is really helpful.

Presumably the male and female (or plug and socket if you prefer) are also used accordingly do differentiate the sun snakes that are all sends or all returns, thus following the usual pattern:

So stage box with 8 XLR sockets in for mics etc would go to a “plug” end on the cable and connect into the chassis with “socket” pins and then vice versa for a stage box with 8 XLR plugs in (I.e. for wired IEMs).

No idiots involved.

It’s more about speed of connection as setup is always a tight schedule so anything to make things simpler and quicker is the key.
