geez Brad - how can you use such a dinosaur! There's no markings in dB for your level attenuator! |

how about posting a parts list? |

Hey Brad - I've always wondered how you determine the order of your inserts... Does it follow 1-2-3-4-5-6 and you have to repatch if you decide to change the gear order? IOW, if your Sontec is patched to Insert #1 and the Ibis is in Insert #2 and you decide that you want to hit the Ibis first and then the Sontec, do you repatch on the back? or what...? |

Is the ATC1 the console you are using everyday ? |

Is there any electonics inside ? (or is that only switches, I mean...) |

Are you using a M-S system to master ? (using the ATC-1) |

On that console you have only one output for 1 pair of speaker or are you using a switcher after it ? |

3,On the back plate you have (i assume)12i/p and o/p .Apart from the mon out what are the others. Thanks |

1,Why no relays? |

2,Why dials instead of switches(I was considering a bank of switches that latch eg you can only press one of that particular bank at any time.) |

Brad, what's that thing under your speaker? |

Why have you not used shielded wire? |

Relays don't sound as good as switches. |

The Shallcos were chosen as they have a large surface area and the action of the wiper across the surface keeps the contact surface clean. That and they are mil-spec and will be working fine long after I'm dead (reliability). |

Mehcanical relays are switches. My experience has been that a good gold contact switch and a good relay (Aromat, Magnecraft) sound exactly the same. Each offer functional advantages, but neither seem to impact the sound in any significant way. What's your evidence that switches sound better than good relays? I'm really interested since I use relays often. |

My experiences has just been lesser with relays compared to switches. I think if you really have to be anal about it and make it as good as possible then I would use switches instead of relays. I haven't studied why exactly this is thoug. Maybe the material... maybe because they are... dare I say it... MAGNETIC!!! Henrik |

where can i get those shallcos switches from. |

Maybe because our ears play tricks on us when we evaluate solo and not in the blind. |

I think if you are not tired, hungry, stoned, depressed or having hangovers then you should be able to catch these differences with no troubles. |

This reminds of a discussion I heard once, where they were arguing about the differences between corvettes and stingrays. |

a question for brad or anyone for that matter, would you be kind enough to tell me the model/part # of those shallco switches you used for the insert bypass/on you used in a mastering console I found in this forum you made yourself, also the best wire to use, were to buy this stuff. anything to help me out. Im poor, can't afford to buy a real console so I must resort to the home made recipe E |
bblackwood wrote on Sat, 10 December 2005 13:46 |
And you do remember that this whole console is single-ended, right? |
Viitalahde wrote on Sat, 10 December 2005 20:24 |
I'm about to design a new console some time next year, it would probably have inserts like this. Maybe even the insert system I've been thinking of - total control of a gear's place in chain. |

I'm also thinking of adding metering there, probably VU only. The signal path would probably stay all passive. |

I'd love to see the schematic for that |

And for precision attenuators, I'm using Goldpoint's new SMD units with Elma switches. +-.2dB tracking! I'm truly impressed. Buck-thirty five, though. Worth it for these transfer-panel things. |

Looks nice Brad. Do you ever do any M/S EQ? I use it fairly frequently and love having that option on the Master. Phase flipping one side of my Monitor and switching to mono at the same time also allows for quickly hearing just the side processing for focused adjustment. Just thinking through signal path out loud here... |
