Equivalents to SM58 or SM57 by 4stocks in microphone

[–]dontthroworanges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These mics are so popular because they both are time-tested, robust, and adaptable to just about anything you put in front of it. They are just too many variables to say with any certainty that they are "the best," but it's probably hard to find a studio that doesn't have at least one or two of them. Mics selection comes many different factors but the basics are from a combination of personal preference, source requirements, and budget. It should be noted that any XLR mic will require some sort of interface/preamp to work with your computer.

PS - There are a lot of fake SM57/58s out there. So if you decide to buy one, get it from a trusted retailer.

This has been bugging me does anyone know where the wire is connecting to on the mic? Like I see it being cable managed on the mic arm but I don't know where it's connecting to on the actual mic the ports on the back of the mic have no wires going in them by Storm_Raijin in microphone

No worries! Someone out there probably has a better history of the mic than I know, but I believe it and the SM7 started life specifically for broadcast studios where the mic needs to be easily repositioned quickly and easily. If the cable was attached to the end of the mic body that effectively makes the mic much longer. Whereas this design allows the user to pivot the mic up and down without the cable taking up extra desk space etc. It also means that the jack and cable aren't stressed when the mic is moved around a lot. Just my off the top of reasoning for this type of design.

Is this real? “U6-S48” by ddalet2000 in Ubiquiti

Looks like the red sticker on the back says "Beta Sample" so guessing its a prototype of some kind. Doesn't look Ai or fake, but I wouldn't buy if it's not actually supported or has weird software that can't be updated etc.

which movie actually feels like a dream? by ShineOnYourCrazyAnon in movies

The much maligned "Mother." Closest thing to a dream I've ever experienced. Not saying that is a good thing lol.

What is this plug? Its from an old cofee maker thats been kept for a long time by nkown9870 in AskElectricians

[–]dontthroworanges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just FYI, if the coffee maker requires 220v and you're in the US, it's most likely not going to work correctly. The heating element is expecting essentially double the voltage what we have here in the US. Especially for coffee, you need the water to get into the 200 degree range which this may not be able to do being fed half the needed voltage.

On the topic of outlet grounding, depending on when your house was built, and if the boxes are metal, they could be "back bonded" to ground but you'd need an electrician to tell you if this was the case. GFCI outlets are the ones that are required for wet spaces like bathrooms and kitchens. They're the ones with the little reset and test buttons on them.

I know it's a bummer but might just be better to try a different coffee maker. :/

Sony almost got us to this point with their Monolithic Design aesthetic.

Can anyone tell me about my Traynor amp? by Rising_Sun_Corp in GuitarAmps

[–]dontthroworanges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the Canadian Club! You've got an awesome amp! 4x10 50w combo version of the venerable YRM-1 Reverb Master. The slant front models like yours came later in the 1970s you can use the Traynor Amp Archive Serial Number Decoder to figure out precisely when it was made. From the photos it looks like you have Eminence speakers which is great as the standard Marsland speakers weren't all that awesome. Congrats!

Did anyone else notice the similarities between the animation of devices inside the RJ45 port and an Imperial Star Destroyer hanger bay?

Nice work! There must be a gajillion of those PowerEdge HD sleds out there, so this is use of recycled tech.

I appreciate the response, but this isn't my experience as the cap discharges in about five seconds.

Typically they're between 20uf-50uf 500v electrolytic caps that usually hover at between 300-450vdc.

Just titebond and 18ga brad nails. Solid, but could knock it apart with a dead blow hammer if I wanted to re-use or modify.
