    Interesting, I have a Soundcraft UI16 and currently use a 2.4Ghz router with it. It was bought SH from a BC member and came with the TL-WR902AC. For some reason I could never get this to link to the mixer. However I have more experience with it now and might try it again. I have the same fears as you, two other 2.4GHz devices on stage as well as all those mobiles searching for WiFi love. I have not had a dropout live yet, but have experienced it when home testing and have seen a friend have nightmares with an XR18 during performances.

    Scroll down on this link to Channel Allocation. Ask the Stage Manager whether he is using the Ofcom Ch38 Channel plan then you 're both talking the same language, https://www.ofcom.org.uk/manage-your-licence/radiocommunication-licences/pmse/pmse-technical-info/mics-monitors/shared

    So what did change?

    Its also a sustainable wood/material, at least in its natural form.

    sorry but I have only just seen this. Let me check and get back to you.

    I am sure you are correct but it is my personal preference.

    Ah yes I forgot about the slot port.

    I had a size issue when I modded my Ashdown After 8. It needed a port but there was no space on the front baffle. The amp was taking up most of the back so I mounted the port on one side. Of course you have to be careful not to put the port next to a wall.

    I have been looking around and realised that there is no stock in dealers and no bass category on the TC website.

    Might be worth getting a WIFi analyser app. It will tel you whether you are ion the same channel as anyone else close by. I use one to make sure there will not be any conflicts with the digital mixer WiFi. Oddly I used it yesterday to check my home WiFi and found out that many networks locally were on the Dane channel. Windows has WiFi Analyser, iOS had Airport Utility and I think there is an Android one too.

    I happen to know that @Phil Starrhas just acquired a pair of RCF 745s, over to Phil...

    A bit of an infomercial but any comments on Pete Thorn's intro?

    I would agree with what @agedhorsesays on using genuine Neutrik Speakons. I have not tried them but suspect compatible connectors from both Cliff and Amphenol would also be OK although that is based on the quality of their other connectors.
  14. Chienmortbb
    I can knock you up one using Neutrik SpeaKons if you want. I will DM you.

    If there is one thing for sure it is that we often do not learn from our mistakes. Anyone that followed my After Eighty build will remember that I blew the onboard auxiliary voltage fuses. Well I did it again on one of the modules, and on these the aux voltage also supplies the IRS2092 class D controller IC. So it looked dead but with help from Connex I found the problem and fixed it. So next thing is to put fuses in the Aux supply lines then carry on with the build.

    Well like @Phil Starr I have used both the Beyma SM212 and the Faital Pro PR320 and gigged extensively with both. The SM212 has more low end in the BC212 Mk3 cab and on the face of it is a better driver BUT in many venues the bass had to be turned down and in that cabinet the Faital Pro is probably the better bet. The faital Pro does have a weight advantage as well. Of course you can turn the bass down as I said. I suspect that the Beyma would work well as a sub in a 70-80 litre cabinet but I have not modeled it.

    This it bullshine. Just like amp manufacturers quoting THD + N at 10%

    TVs are so thin that they cannot hold decent sized speakers or decent sized amplifiers. So while the number in the screen may go up to 11, the sound will only reach 5 or 6.
  19. Chienmortbb
    Are they made by Ashdown like the previous Toneman series?
  20. Chienmortbb
    As you know human hearing, like so many things in nature is logarithmic, so we use Log or Audio scaling on pots or in DSP to mimic a linear increase in volume. I am unclear what people mean when they say Linear in relationship to Gain or Volume controls. However I fear we have gone way off topic, my apologies to all.
  21. Chienmortbb
    Is that the kappalite Phil?
  22. Chienmortbb
    TC were using a form of compression to "boost" the volume. The model numbers were designed to imply a power output and digging into the blurb, it was apparent that the model number gave TCs assessment of the perceived loudness compared to the loudness of an uncompressed amp. Of course lot of manufactures imply the power output in the model number but TC were using an extra degree of sleight of hand. It may well have worked better if they had been honest with the power rating and use the "clever trickery" as a benefit. There is nothing wrong per se with TC amps but they were caught doing a VW.
  23. Chienmortbb
    They are right and wrong, the 50ASX2 can reach 200watts into 4 ohms but at very high distortion. Also the power output depends on the input voltage. The ICEPower datasheet states that at 10% distortion and 230V you can get 220W and that reduces to 180W at 115V input. At 1% distortion, it outputs 170W at 230V and 150W at 120V ac input.
  24. Chienmortbb
    No you are right, at least over voltage and over current protection. Some have under voltage protection too. over current will protect against shorts or sub optimal loads. One of the problems with some speakers is that they go under their quoted impedance at certain frequencies, so over current protection is vital.

    The old ones are the best😀
