    Can anyone fill in the gaps? Steinberg UR22C - yes SSL2 - no Focusrite - no Presonus - no Behringer - ? M-audio - ? Tascam - ? Others - ? Thanks David

    Thanks for that - would work well for the whole band on iems, but less so for the first band member sticking a toe in the water. We've had a crop of impaired hearing threads recently, so I thought I'd see what was available to help those players. David

    Hi Chaddy. Thanks for the info - another one to cross off the list. I'm looking for 'black boxes' with headphone outputs that can store the eq profile of hearing aids. Audio interfaces looked like a good bet based on my existing one, but it seems to be unique in having that facility. David

    I'm interested in finding audio interfaces that remember and apply EQ settings when no longer connected to a PC/Mac/etc. Can you tell me if this one does? David
  5. Mottlefeeder
    Interesting, and it would be good if there was a pc equivalent, but not so useful for live event monitoring. David

    Thanks for this David
  7. Mottlefeeder
    That's clear enough.

    Thank you - I shall cross that one off the list. Any comments on M-audio, Tascam, Focusrite, Behringer... David

    May I ask where you found the information about Class C amplifiers being used for audio? My Google searches only give me sites saying Class C is suitable for RF and tuned circuits, but not audio. David

    A question for any audio interface users in the community - what EQ facilities are built in to your audio interface? The Steinberg UR22C has digital signal processing built in so you can adjust compression and 3-band EQ while it is connected to a PC (with or without a DAW running at the time). When disconnected from the PC, it retains that EQ profile. The screenshot below shows what you can set up. The advantage for me as a hearing aid user is that I can set up an EQ profile that mimics my hearing aids, and then use the interface as a me-them monitor mixer feeding my IEMs. Is this facility commonly available, or have I just struck lucky in my choice of interface? David

    Just a thought, if you have LEDs working but no audio at all, it might be worth looking at the voltage doubler first. David

    That's all I've got, sorry. Having said that, the block diagram shows a fairly conventional set of 'blocks', so you could probably work out the circuit from the components in the vicinity of each i.c. David
  13. Mottlefeeder
    There is no circuit diagram available from the designer, and the double-sided PCB has been painted on both sides, so it would be difficult to trace the circuit from that. The instructions include a block diagram but that is all you get. I think I still have my build instructions; if so I can send you a copy. David

    Ideally, avoid making it a cube, and aim to have each internal dimension different to the others. The golden ratio (each side 2/3 of the next biggest?) probably doesn't work for a 2 x 10 in-line. David

    Coming in a little late, but I have hearing loss, use a 1 x 10 on the floor as my main rig (!), and have gone to IEMs. There are some small mixers out there that have a 3 band EQ. That gives you some scope for taking an ambient mic input and/or a feed from the pa, and a feed from your bass/bass amp, and putting the missing mids back in to be fed to your in-ears. Eg the Alto ZMX862. Some PC audio interfaces can also be used stand-alone and can EQ and limit 2 channels into headphones, eg the Steinberg UR22C MKII (There may still be one of these for sale here) David

    Copper is a good enough conductor of heat that you can solder a bridge across a join withiut damaging the wood/plastic underneath. David
  17. Mottlefeeder
    If it was a public space, it might have a hearing loop installed, which could be feeding magnetically to your bass's pick-ups. That could give you anything from hum through distortion to feedback. David

    With regard to the use of a linear volume pot, the manufacturer may have taken the option recommended by Rod Elliott and others, and used a resistor between the pot wiper and pot ground to convert the linear effect into a logarithmic one with a smoother characteristic than a cheap log pot would give you. David
  19. Mottlefeeder
    True - and mine does! I was not really thinking it through. David
  20. Mottlefeeder
    Agreed, but with a mixer you can just fade up an additional channel - you don't have to rewire the system to accomodate another music source. David
  21. Mottlefeeder
    One advantage of a mixer is that you can connect other sources to it, eg an mp3 player, and eq the sound from them. I use the eq to drop out the bass on tracks that I am working on - I could not do that with an interface without first importing the song onto the PC/Mac. David
  22. Mottlefeeder
    It may just be the camera angle and the fact that you can only see half of the pup. This image looks better. David

    If it was me... You could start by taking the grill off and checking the cones for splits or tears in the surround. Next, assuming you have three hands, play bass through it while you press gently on each cone in turn, and each centre dome in turn, to see is you can identify the faulty unit. Next, take the speakers out or take the cab back or front off, and measure the resistance of each driver. The actual measurement probably dos not matter if you find one is significantly different to the others. Next- that's where I run out of ideas. David

    PM'd for information David

    As an alternative to moving the neck strap-point to the left, you could try moving the bridge strap point to the left. Take the bridge strap end off the bass, thread a shoelace/bootlace through the strap keyhole and tie the 'lace ends to the existing strap buttons. Slide the moveable end of the strap towards the fixed end, and note the point where the bass sits right for you. Take the 'lace off, tie a loop in it to fix the position of the strap end and put it back on the bass. It's cheap, discreet, and removable if it doesn't work for you. David
