Thanks for informative and good entertainment. Nc3fxx-bag is silver and nc3fxx-b is gold, with a price difference of less than a dollar. Is silver here preferable?
Hello! The gold is a better conductor, so we have customers who prefer them as a quality upgrade. However, folks tend to choose the -BAG line when they are okay with the standard plating, but still want the look of the black connector. Hope that helps!
Producing an RCA to XLR version. Usually for shielded unbalanced cable I would terminate the shield at the source only. For the RCA to XLR (eg minidsp to Amplifier) Would the Shield and Cold be combined on the outer ring, with hot on the centre pin; XLR being as normal with shield on pin1, hot and cold on 2 & 3?
The video says PIN 2 White, PIN3 Blue. I just now took a new pre-made cable out the package (same cable as the video - Mogami Neglex 2534). It has PIN2 Blue, PIN3 White. I realize it doesn't matter as long as both male and female ends are the same. Just thought I would mention this to relieve any confusion viewers might have. Great detailed video. Thanks.
For best results, do not transport solder on a hot iron, as the flux will burn off in transport. If you’re going to do this, flux the twisted wire to account for the burn off and let the fluxed wires suck the hot solder off the iron tip (via capillary action). Use small diameter (0.020 or less) solder so you’ll have good control over the solder metering as the amount of solder is a critical thing to control. Also, be sure you use a tiny glob of solder as a thermal bridge to the cups so you can use low (600F) tip temps and still get effective heat transfer and get an and off in 2 seconds.
Hello! The feedback I've received on the AVMATRIX line has been positive. However, I have not heard about any specific in-use comparison to BMD. That would be interesting.
Let's just say for giggles, you're just a guitar player and not an electrical engineer. And you have no idea how to read the Jack vs. Speakon vs. Phono LED Pin Indicators. You just want to know if your cables are good or bad. Is there a simple translation of what we should be looking for when we plug in different cables to the box and start turning the 6 way knob?
this mic stand is ok kinda overpriced didnt last very long before breaking the arm hub broke looked it up their know for breaking called customer service they are terrible customer support wouldnt recomend to buy the arm hub broke off almost dropping my microphone
Hello! The signal from the camera is sent to a switcher via cabled outouts on the camera. The wifi interface is for remote camera control - pan, tilt, zoom and monitoring. Hope this helps!
Excellent! I have two questions: For Studio-Use Microphone Cables, controlled environment, 2 to 5 meters long: Question 1: I have a lot of 2534 and wonder how bad idea would it be not to join/twist the end pairs, using only one of each and leaving a Live and a Return unused. Maybe join both of them to the X shield?. This in order to avoid long run High Cut Filtering and still put the cable in use. Maybe achieving a sound closer to the 2549? Would this cause any problem? Question 2: Which Neutrik Connector? NC3XX - 1) Nickel VS 2) NC3XX-B VS 3) NC3XX-BAG. I understand the the 1st to be nickel housed with silver connectors, the 2nd to be black chrome housed with gold connectors, and the 3rd to be black chrome housed with silver connectors. Thx!
Hello! I'll answer the 2nd question first since there's a more straightforward answer. The folks I talked to at Neutrik confirmed that XX connector material choices are an environmental visual preference. We use the NC3XX series for our standard assemblies. Some people like the look of the black, especially if they are trying to hide them onstage or on camera. As far as the gold contacts, gold conducts better than nickel, so there is a slight upgrade in the gold plating. However, gold is also softer so overtime is more prone to wear. For the 1st question, the engineers I talked with did not see there being a problem with doing what you are suggesting but were not sure if there is any advantage other than perhaps changing the 'color' of the sound as you suggest to the 2549. Give it a try and let us know!
Alex, do you have a concern that increasing the wire gauge by doubling the conductors for pin 2/3 will alter the sound or the gain required for a cable? "Loudness" is not linear across frequency so I am intrigued by your question and how the different cables may influence your system. Do be aware that wires left in place with no connection can still influence magnetic fields ... so I wonder if you would be increasing or not affecting the noise rejection capability of your cables in real terms. Being mindful the core reason for 4 core is to have 2 twisted pairs which by orientation will reject induced magnetic fields or electrical noise from perpendicular wiring (with its incumbent magnetic field). I'm interested in hearing what you ended up doing and your experience with the outcome if you have time to reply to my remarks :D
Is there a way to monitor my desktop audio through the mixer? In other words, take the sound from my computer and send it to input of the USB connection so I can control it on the mixer?
