I think i found what the in-wall main monitors are.

My pics of these are so dark that i couldn't see the third way (tweeter) at the top right of the box. It is 3-way and its an ATC...

The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. (CBC) recently updated equipment in some of their Control rooms. The main attraction here is the nice Digital Studer Vista console (pic # 2168), in addition to the...

Some may already know, others may not, but Dynaco (and Hafler) were revived by Canada's Radial Engineering in Vancouver region. (radialeng.com) As for the prices shown on the post these go back a...

Appreciate the comments since you're a Crown man and you have been collecting many.

First, the case of the M-600. Its a quite different beast (downloaded the manual for a quick look). Monaural...

Now remember. After some time Crown did fight back, if one can call this a fight, they released with fanfare the input/output comparator (IOC), sort of clip lights! They indicated at the time that...

RE "Please correct my ignorance, BGW's?"

I'm surprised about this, and not a judgement in any way about you, simply because BGW was Crown's nightmare for a while, starting about mid 70's, with the...

Just to be sure your results are correct, have you "calibrated" your DMM, meaning measured its residual resistance? Put DMM in ohm mode, join the two test leads together for a few seconds until data...

Received tuesday (12 days, nice) the LP Gear N75ED Type 2 stylus for the M75ED/R-1000 EDT cartridge. Trip was different and cheaper this time, USPS passing on the parcel to Canada Post in Vancouver...

Hi Gavin,

First, welcome to the Lansing Heritage.

You can't have it both ways, hi-fi sound with some drivers being pro, and as you say some been discontinued and you want to use drivers that...

You can find some of this info in the Technical Manual of a driver or system (for those who have such sheet). In the attached example for L100T3 system look at the top of page 2 the DCR min./max. of...

Just checked, i have DCR factory specs for most drivers alone, but not for systems unfortunately.

Can't say if what you measured is correct or not. But the 8 ohm spec is a NOMINAL figure only. Its not unusual for speakers to actually measure lower than spec.

Some L series speakers were designed by David Smith.

"David was responsible for such systems as the L15 and L46 for the Consumer Division", so the list might include others not specifically...

SOME OBSERVATIONS ABOUT 2242H/5749

Modeled the 2242 in speaker software to see what i would get for this "Maximum Output" described driver. Ultimate SPL drivers generally have maximized mid band...

Saw on Bloomberg Business News today an update on the lumber pricing situation.

Well, on the Chicago commodities exchange, where lumber is traded, the futures hit a new record high! As their name...

Q # 1

88273

I know, i checked it myself, even though i don't doubt at all Barry's info. JBL has not been particularly consistent in the info surrounding the 2242 vs its ancestors. Also, in spec sheets, which are...

RE: "That cabinet is designed for 2x 2241H and should therefor suit or even suit better with 2242H."

Though one might be wondering (not me) why JBL didn't dare model the 2242 driver in 10 cu.ft....

Hi Mac,

Thanks for the input.

Last time i checked pricing locally on the sheet you describe was before the pandemic, say 12-18 months ago, it was $100. CA.

I don't even dare looking now,...

Bad news for speaker builders i guess...

Picked up a news item a couple days ago from a Canadian construction contractors association. Lumber price increases have simply gone crazy when compared...

Hi Martin,

The 2225H is a sound reinforcement driver replacing the 2205H.

In sound reinforcement efficiency (a large contributor to max output SPL) is more important than linearity.

The mid...

SHURE M75ED/R1000 EDT CARTRIDGE REVISITED

Haven't been satisfied from prior use of that cartridge, since it lacked some life. Nonetheless confident that it may be able to deliver better sound...

The Rolls delay unit was NOT presented as the solution to his problem.

But rather for "... read the short and easy to understand paragraph titled "Setting the delay time" on page 2 of the...
