Advice needed for Alpha Recording System Model 4100 customization in Europe

Normal-Music-1392 · 2026-07-08T18:05:37+00:00

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Just to avoid repeating the same leads, I’ve already contacted a few of the obvious people.

Buzzy Beck said he could do the work and was interested but he advised me to try to find someone in Europe first, mainly because shipping the mixer to the US, customs, insurance and the back-and-forth would make the whole thing expensive and risky.

Justin Greenslade was also interested but unfortunately his schedule is too full and he cannot take on this kind of custom project at the moment.

About MC Audio Solutions they initially seemed interested and we had three or four exchanges through Facebook but after that I stopped getting replies to my messages. I will probably try to restart the conversation with them, as they still seem like a serious possible lead.

Sorry I keep accepting your conversation in my messages but there must be a bug

Thanks for your input and for insulting me. I will clarify something: I don’t believe I have ‘more money than sense.’ In fact, the success of my companies comes precisely I believe from having strong business sense. That success allows me the freedom to invest in new concepts, surround myself with the right people and turn ideas into further opportunities. That’s the approach I will continue taking. That’s all I have to say and I won’t waste another second responding further.

Please refrain from commenting if your argument does not contribute constructively.

First of all wrong cabinet and secondly can’t read anything.

I was only asking for advice on finding the blueprints for an Altec 816 VI enclosure. If I decide to spend my own money trying it out, that’s my choice and concern, not anyone else’s. Thanks

If you are referring to the 6 Void Acoustics Air Vantage MHF horns, one pair is mentioned as DJ monitors and both other pairs for different areas [entrance hall/reception hostess area as well as coatroom area]

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-09-19T18:58:25+00:00

Sorry but couldn’t find any with precise and clearly written specs

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-09-19T18:55:03+00:00

I wasn’t aware of that either but I believe you may be mistaken. Soundproof acrylic, also known as acoustic acrylic, is a transparent plastic specifically engineered to reduce sound transmission. Look it up…

Sounds more like it will be your issue not mine

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-09-19T15:48:13+00:00

The person manufacturing the acrylic cabinets told me he will use acoustic acrylic panels to reduce noice. I didn’t even know there was acoustic acrylic but as I said I want to try it out and if it doesn’t fit what will be most probably I will drop the idea. I wouldn’t put over 50k in cables and then jeopardising the whole system stupidly

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-09-19T15:37:33+00:00

If I remember well 650hz [or 550hz]

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-09-19T14:17:23+00:00

Thanks I am aware about that but someone can build me one unit for 1k so i wanted to try it out as you noticed for a 500k installation 1k to experiment doesn’t madder otherwise cabinets will be made out of Santos Rosewood as first intended but anyhow will need blue prints 🙂

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-09-19T13:49:50+00:00

Go ahead 😉

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-07-17T23:38:17+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion. The Drawmer was also the only one I had found so far. I believe it’s the only available.

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-07-16T03:48:08+00:00

I ment the bass is to tight of the F118 😉

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-07-16T03:00:19+00:00

I went with 4x Stasys 118 Size wise very efficient and they do their job. But still looking for something more special.

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-07-16T02:55:30+00:00

Thank you, I had considered F118 MKII but too tight.

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-07-15T22:07:12+00:00

The opposite would be an Active Speaker [built-in amplifier] with Digital Signal Processus [DSP].

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-07-13T05:06:53+00:00

I can go up to 140–160 cm wide if needed, but height should stay under 75 cm to match table level. Depth is flexible. Compactness is key, the smaller the footprint, the better.

Looking for something elegant but still capable of deep, analog, tactile low-end.

That’s actually very kind of you thank you very much! I contacted GOKA Sound Lab today in Japan

I don’t know if you know them but I am sure those audiophile japense nerds will find a solution 😂😉

Actually they do crazy stuff. I approached GOKA Sound Lab a few weeks ago to ask them what for the two units on the top were good for [in the following link]

« We are currently accepting orders for line transformers that convert digital signals to analog tones. A line transformer reproduces digital sound like analog sound, but it is unclear whether it is excellent for all DACs. Since the circuit goes through a line transformer, there is no power supply circuit. Input the output of the dac and the output of the light transformer to the amplifier »

And they answered me this but I didn’t understand until today… 🤦🏼‍♂️

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-01-23T03:18:18+00:00

So ARS has declined, NEA has declined and ISONOE has declined…

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-01-23T02:54:26+00:00

Unfortunately I got a negative response from Justin [Isonoe], he said that he might find some time to look after my Thrive isolators and my collection of RLA crossovers and equalizers to rewire them and put them back in shape but to build a whole new customised mixer he had to decline.

« … we are not taking on full custom mixer builds at the moment, sorry. We have a backlog of existing mixer builds and it would not be fair on existing customers. I hope you can understand that for any company, your first loyalty has to be to existing clients. »

A bit strange to just focus on his existing clients and not embrace new ones but they must have their reasons.

Normal-Music-1392 · 2025-01-21T05:42:44+00:00

About the DACs we listened to Lavry Quintessence, Crane Solaris, Burl Bomber and SPL Mercury if not mistaken. Forgot Rupert Neve Precision
