    PreSonus FireStudio replacement for M2 Mac Mini?

    For Thunderbolt docks, OWC has been pushing crazy sales on their Thunderbolt docks for a few weeks now and I've been thinking of picking one up for my office. I have many of their products and find them all to be reliable and well priced.As for audio interfaces, I wouldn't really lock into...

    Linking BTR-800 base stations

    Essentially you're looking for another E88. The only other thing sold really is the A3 which could work with proper band-planning as the 3 range is 650-668 but you'd be limited to 653-663 to stay legal (G range Cellular band ends at 652 and the Guard band is 652-653). Additionally, you need to...

    Linking BTR-800 base stations

    I say listen-only in that your A2 isn't a valid range for use in the US. Flip your A2 receive antenna to the transmit side and you'll have a unit that's fit for operation.It's the opposite of that at the moment because you only have one antenna on the A2 base station and it's plugged into the...

    Linking BTR-800 base stations

    Are you US based? E88 is fine (Base Station Tx @ 590-608, Rx @ 470-488) however A2 is no longer a valid frequency band (Base Station Tx @ 518-536, Rx @ 632-650). The Rx side of the base station will be consistently hit by interference from cell phones, but you can still use those packs as...

    Quality of audio "Sinfonia"/"OrchExtra"/"InstrumentalEase"

    I've used StageTracks from Concord Theatrical and OrchExtra from MTI a few times over the years. For pure audio quality, StageTracks was fantastic because it was a real recorded Orchestra and the StageTracks folks worked with us to get us what we needed - I as the sound designer wanted stems...

    Wireless mic issues only when there's an audience in the space?

    Things change over time, doing coordinations every now and again is best practice - at least checking for new sources of external interference and making sure students haven't changed frequencies from the initial setup when the system was commissioned is a solid start.Well now we're getting...

    Wireless mic issues only when there's an audience in the space?

    The TinySA isn't instantaneous but it does have adjustable RBW so you can adjust to the needs of your scan. A low RBW value will give you higher resolution scans at the expense of speed, a higher value will give you increased speed at the expense of resolution. A scan is only useful if you know...

    Shure TA4F Connector

    That's just an off the shelf connector with an SMD capacitor on a small PCB. I am a huge fan of the Rean version of the TA4F, 1/3 the price of the original Switchcraft version and much more robust (including water-resistant varieties) and a better latching mechanism.If this is like other...

    Mic stand opinions re: tight quarters

    I mainly mic up musical theater pits which get pretty cramped. Here's the bulk of my mic stand order when I put together rentals. I tend to dislike the stackable bases for a lot of things because they fall over too easily, and a sandbag adds bulk. I'll almost always have a few tripods around but...

    CAME-TV: Clearcom interface?

    Sure, AV Lifesavers boxes are a possible solution if you have a Clearcom beltpack to spare but they don't make any proper 2/4 Wire interface - the reason they are so cost effective is because they put the job of nulling onto a surplus Clearcom device in your chain. You have the Beltpack Breakout...

    CAME-TV: Clearcom interface?

    Adapting the Clearcom 2WR to this devices 4WR would cost more money than a 3-pack of headsets but it is doable and decently easy with the proper interface box. I'd suggest whatever interface box you're putting between this system and Clearcom would need gain control on both input and output as...

    ClearCom HME dx100 tech spec troubleshoot

    Page 8 of the Manual explains how to set Low/High/All on the frequency range of your device, I was mistaken thinking it was in the DIP switches, I was correct that it is set to ALL from the factory.There seems to be nothing in any manual about the DIP switches aside from Switch #4, which...

    ClearCom HME dx100 tech spec troubleshoot

    The most likely cause, 2.4gHz interference. The fix, limit usage of 2.4gHz wireless access points. If you can disable channel hopping on your networks and lock them to several broadcast channels this will mitigate some issues so that when the DX100 does a channel scan it has fixed targets to...
