Ok, thanks everybody, thats exactly what I wanted to know. I guess I will go with FLK or GLA for these. After a lens and reflector cleaning they seem to work pretty well.

Hey all,Just picked up a few of these instruments, and was wondering if anybody out there has any info on them, and how they stack up to other technology. I'm also wondering what lamp is best to use with these, one came loaded with an EHG which seems to be what Altman calls for. Is there a...

What other hardware do you have to work with? What are your mounting options? How did you decide on only using one microphone? Answering these questions and providing more information on your goals and limitations will help us offer better advice. Also, check out this recent similar thread for...

Did a little digging, here's a site with a bunch of old university literature. There's reference to a SA-30 driver, but no SA-80. It's in the last page on the right under the 1957 heading. New Page 1

From my understanding, University sound was its own company before getting bought by altec, which then got bought by telex/ev. Now EV uses the name for their comercial horn products, and they still manufacture some of the university designs like the cobreflex. Maybe somebody at EV could help...

I could be wrong here, but my understanding is when a channel is muted on most consoles, it is electrically isolated from the mix bus by either a switch or on nicer analog consoles a relay. So while I guess its possible that signal is getting through the muted channels just by cross talk to the...

I think a big upgrade for you would be getting your console out of the booth. You will have a much easier time mixing and your mixes would sound better because you will get an accurate representation of the sound in the house. Get some plywood and a decent table and your set, provided you can...

I think I've seen something like that in the machine room of the duquesne incline we have here in Pittsburgh. I belive it had something to do with the automation/sequencing of the motor and brakes and associated machinery. So my guess is something to do with an elevator or lift machinery. And...

There's no sense in trying to find an amp until you know what speakers you are installing and how they are going to be wired. However, since it seems that a distributed speaker system would work best in your space, your probably looking at an amp that supports 70v distributed systems. Since your...

Can anybody tell what mic Zevon's using? To me it looks a bit like a sm57 with some sort of windscreen.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhSc8qVMjKM

Is just getting the amp repaired not an option? Seems to me like it would be the quickest way for you to get back in business without having to change equipment and rewire things.When you refer to the speaker resistance as "10 ohms", are you referring to a marked impedance rating on...

You'd probably get a better deal in terms of sound quality and durability by looking for a used mixer from Soundcraft, Allen Heath, ect. While the behringer would likely work for you, you can do much better for less money by going used.Also, as a rule of thumb I don't pay much attention to...

Photgraphy is probaby your best bet. You could write out the positions of the faders and eq pots by using the Db markings, but that's just asking for trouble if the operators are inexperienced.

Gotta love those old systems! A bunch of lamps, some goo gone for the console, maybe a quick once over by an electrician to clean things up, and it's probably good for another 50 years.The back up battery thing is interesting, I wonder if it still holds a charge and is useable. If the whole...

Have you ruled out problems elsewhere in the system, such as with the console or any relevant system or signal processing?
