    Soundcraft Si Expression 3 vs Compact 32 Comparison

    To those of you thinking that the Si sucks because it can't record natively, keep in mind that the x32 is topping at 44.1/48 khz 16 bits versus 96khz 24bits for the Si. For any serious recording, it's non-negligible. For my recordings, I bought an optical madi card, so I can send the main pair...

    Another silly power question

    First of all, thank you for all the informations you gave me. It's very informative and I was clearly not aware of all these dangers. I think I just recalled myself at 8yo doing some projects with DC batteries and thought "Hey, what about adding another battery to get more power!". Those AC...

    Weird power issue with dimmer and power splitter

    Ok I'll consider changing the lamps. I just tested the cables and there is effectively a problem with the two-fer. One of the two female end has the connectors offset by one pin... Time to visit the supplier :rolleyes:

    Weird power issue with dimmer and power splitter
