  1. Send a pic first.
  2. Not the best advert for Behringer, either the PSU failure or the broken handle. I am still interested in looking at the insides, though.
  3. I’m my experience Fender make more of a thud than anything, I would avoid. Olympia are OK but I Would go Elite Detroit Flats
  4. I am coming to the same conclusion, although I have not yet bought the CQ20T. In reality, I probably use the group feature once or twice a year, so it's not the big deal I originally told myself it was. Apparently you can use DCAs (Digitally Controlled Amplifiers) on the Mixing Station, but I barely know the software and have not found it yet. It may be my bias against learning new software, but I do not really like the look of Mixing Station. The consensus does seem to be that the CQ is a step-up in sound quality from both the Behringer/Midas offerings and the Soundcraft UI series, although the Midas and Soundcraft UI24r are supposed to have better mic preamps than the Behringers or the UI12/16s. It has some nice features that the others do not, but there are functional improvements that A&H can make that in future. The original Soundcraft UI firmware did not include many features that we now enjoy, and the current firmware was 3 years after launch. One final thing, how usable is the WiFi? Snap, none of mine are interested in Soundcraft's MoreMe app for personal monitoring. Thanks for taking the time to explain and good luck with the rollout.
  5. It is now fully supported in the latest version.
  6. How are you finding the CQ20 after a few months?
  7. There are many terms in woodwork that separate the British and Americans Bill.
  8. Have you contacted orange
  9. Exactly. Anyone know of a cure for itchy trigger finger?
  10. Where did you get it?
  11. I think they use stock photos. The one they supplied to our guitard was centre -ve.
  12. I was just going to suggest MyVolt. Our lead guitard bought one from them recently.
  13. There is a convention in electronics that the positive rail, the 12V, in this case. Is on the centre pin. This is because it is possible for the outer connection to be shorted to earth via another piece of equipment's metal parts. If the 0V or ground (GND) is connected to the outer, it causes less chance of a short circuit (bang followed by magic smoke). Our good friends at Boss. Decided that in order to sell more pedals, batteries were not the answer, so they used a 9V DC power supply but saw that as a sales opportunity. So how could they make more money selling power supplies too, keep us safe from cheap power supplies? The answer initially was to make a proprietary (now de facto) standard for their pedals. So we are stuck with negative centre DC plugs. The other 98% of equipment uses centre positive. Buy one like the Switch Electronics one and solder a new plug, Ask Thomann about a new one or buy one with multiple tips. Get one with multiple tips. The first option is great if you can solder. The second is easiest but maybe more expensive. The third is easy and cheap, but there is the danger that the tip could come off during a gig. If you do go the third route, use some heat shrink to make the mechanical attachment more mechanically secure.
  14. I agree but XLRs are rated at 10 amps whereas many jacks are rated much lower and XLRs are locking.
  15. The cab in the first post was designed to go with my supercharged Ashdown After Eight. It is much better than it ought to be. I believe the design of the easy build is being drawn up as we speak, but the computer is very old and is driver by six heavy horses. Sadly one of the horses has gone lame but once it has recovered, the design drawings will be ready (I think).
  16. If you have a good comppression driver/horn crossed over properly you do not need a driver angled upwards.
  17. It was about 30 years ago Bill.
  18. Good Shout.
  19. XLRs were used by a number of manufacturers for speakers, to overcome the current and mechanical limitations of 1/4 jacks.
  20. fill the thread with vaseline.
  21. Mine has not worked for some time.
  22. To be fair, I was reading the graph incorrectly. The Sensitivity at 1KHz IS 97dB.
  23. I would love to have come, especially as @stevie is debuting his new 10". It is his first commercial cab that I have not seen/heard in development, so I await all your comments with anticipation. However, look at the Monza and Monaco too. I have been gigging the 12" Monaco for a while and love it. When I heard the 10" Monza before launch, it was great. Enjoy! Oh and give my regards to Frank Black, you were missed at the SW Bash Frank.
  24. The more like 95dB if you read the graphs correctly.
