Hello, fellow soundpeople. I'm just posting this for anyone who may be interested in assembling their own headset for a three wire intercom system. The headset in the picture shown is a Racing Radios H15 single muff headset, the stock foam ear seal was removed and replaced with a soft gel ear...

Okay, right there, the part where you set your CL's IP, are you talking about the two IP's (remote control and HA control) that can be set via the console's touchscreen, or are you talking about the Dante network IP for the board's Dante port? If I could just set a static Dante network IP for...

I'm not sure what you mean. Yes, the Auto IP works as far as Dante devices are concerned, but it does not assign IP addresses for non-Dante devices.

If the the Dante network is only hooked up to other Dante devices, it will normally use the 'Auto IP' (not DHCP) function to set IP's. It can also use DHCP if there is a DHCP controller on the network. Dante will use one of these methods via dip switches on the front of some Dante devices, or...

Yes, the NICs have activity, and the devices can be pinged. The trouble I'm having is that I can set static Dante IP's for all my devices except the Dante IP for the CL1. Anytime I try to set an IP for the CL1 in Dante Controller, the board ignores it, and sets its own IP. I'm trying to get all...

This question is pretty much directed to anyone who has experience with the Yamaha CL, or QL series mixing console, the Rio 1608-D or similar, Dante Controller, Remote R, CL Editor, StageMix, Dante Virtual Soundcard, and Dante networking over wired and wireless networks.For the past few days...

Update.Through process of elimination, I've determined that the Shure distro is indeed malfunctioning. Using different antennas and both 75-ohm and 50-ohm cables all lead to poor signal performance and dropouts. Bypassing the distro fixes it every time. I guess I'll have to stick to the old...

The 9-2 receiver on the left is using two 1/2 wave antennas, as you can see, it picks up the lav pack across the stage with no problems. The 9-2 on the right is getting signal from the distro being fed by the new antenna just out of frame. If I bypass the distro, then I get strong signal all around.

Right, the distributor is an active 4-way with a 5th output for cascading. I bought 75-ohm on my boss's instruction, he told me that 75-ohm cable is for low loss applications, and that 50-ohm is more suitable for power-handling situations.

I've tried both 1/4 wave and 1/2 wave antennas on the distro before I received the new RF Venue antenna, which covers 470-698 MHz. The results were similar, lots of dropout and terrible range. Unfortunately, I have no RF coordination software, so I let the receivers scan and assign one at a...

Hello everyone.So, I have a problem that's leaving me scratching my head. My boss bought me a brand new RF Venue diversity fin antenna to help with the numerous dropouts that occur with our old Shure ULX P4 and ULX S4 systems. (eight receivers each) These receivers are rolled onstage in a...

Another update.The boss wouldn't go for the MT-1 due to budget constraints, so I moved the main station down to the stage rack and coupled the beltpack cables together in the booth. I removed the old ps-10k from the system completely and bam, no more ground loop. I also replaced the stage...

Hey guys, did some testing.I disconnected the xlr cable that links the old on-stage ps-10k to the ms-232 in the booth. Now there's zero hum in the booth headsets, just a little static at max volume. The headsets running off the ps-10k are also much quieter, although there is still a...

I should clarify, the 20A circuit is for audio amps and our lighting and soundboard only. The service for our dimmer racks is properly sized. The tripping we experience is mostly nuisance tripping when we power the amps on. I'd like to get more circuits for the booth but that's up to our...

Hello everyone, first post on Control Booth!Anyway, straight to the business!Our auditorium has an MS-232 clear-com base station installed in our control booth for lights, sound, and spot headsets (some are old 501 clear-com beltpacks, others have these little off-brand Que-com getups)...
