Re: Pico II 12 Pack completed (finally)

The mods started when I wanted to sub in some 250k pots that I bought from a distributor for almost nothing for the gain and threshold controls.

Re: Pico II 12 Pack completed (finally)

These are going in the Remote Truck this weekend, and are going to be used exclusively for vocals. The meters read peak input on the left and GR on the right. The peak circuit is pre...

Compressor Attack Release Signature Comparisons

I did some tests comparing the Attack and Release signatures of some of the compressors that we have that are favorites for voice. Here's the info on these tests: The test tone was generated by an Audio Precision System One, and recorded to Pro Tools at 96kHz through a 192 interface. 0 crossing for ...

Re: New Op-Amps in stock

Would those relays be good for a mic level signal for use in a pad?
Thanks!

Re: A Direct-Coupled Input-Capacitorless Active Mic Preamp

What happens (don’t laugh/cry, this really does happen) when someone plugs an un-balanced device into the servo’s input with the phantom power on, thus grounding the – servo input?
