My amplifiers shut down in the even of them being plugged into a 240 volt receptacle. My larger amp, a Crest 10004 (2500watts x 4 into 1 ohm) is pure 120/240 using neutral as effective ground, i never had a moronic mistakenly wired receptacle. Besides, i will be installing auto switching relay systems in my audio racks, dual relays and logic controller (2 second delay) where it detects a 240 or 120 volt plug and switches respectively to those voltages, all it needs is 2 seconds to detect line voltage. Current as been the only problem in my line of work with over 15,000 watts of sound here it snaps the breaker out of the main distribution box when a nice strong bass note hits, so i upped the power supply storage on my troublesome amps (2000 watts stereo and 4000 watts stereo) which are made by a company here near me in toronto called YorkVille Sound, formerly called traynor. They redesigned their line of amps and mixers nicely. After i upped the storage from a easly 54400 f per channel in these amps to 140,000 EXTRA f, the amps bass esponse and damping factor and sustainable power increased by 3 fold. My 4000 watt amp supplied 50 amperes per channel (110 amperes bridged), and now the measurement is impossible to measure across it because it can melt a 16 guage wire in under 5 seconds at half power when the amp is shorted. Previous wattage was 2925 watts RMS coming out of the amp at its specified minimum oad of 4 ohms per channel (it never went beyond that before the upgrade), now i measure a easy 500 watts per channel of overhead (about 2500 watts per channel) almost stable into 2 ohms (can go for 2 hours at max volume before the thermal protection kicks in). I recommend before anybody performs a upgrade on their amps, make sure the MOSFET's (or J-FETS) can take 4 times he rated power of the amp, current wise eg; my 4000 watt amp has 16 transistors per channel, each can carry 400 watts easy - total rating 6400 watts per channel rated from the transistors. And make sure the power supply's nternal bridge rectifier diode array is upped to twice the current capacity because o add capacitors to a existing peuny power supply (Eg, CARVER (crap), PEavey (crap), and AShly (crap)) the additional capacitors will look like a complete SHORT at turn on to the power supply and can blow the current existing small power supply. Need any more details, let me know if you want to increase the dynamics and damping factor of your amps. In case you so called professional "dj's" do not know what the damping factor rating of the amplifier is, it is simply a matter of measuring a ratio of how much control the amp has over the speaker cone, expecially at HIGH volumes. Most amps with a low damping actor will lose control of the speaker cone at high volumes causing the speakers to heat up from electrical friction and makes the music illegible (voices, cymbals, bass sound farty etc.). --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: Electric Prayers - Everybody Knows This is Nowhere (1:221/602) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 200 PRO AUDIO Ref: CB200002 Date: 06/21/95 From: WADE WARD Time: 10:25pm \/To: BARRY BURKE (Read 5 times) Subj: Re: Mixer -=> Quoting Barry Burke to Danny Lenz (who was responding to Wade -=> Ward<=- BB> Mackie overpriced?

So, I have a question that I would like as many folks to answer as wishes to do so. I intend to make a PC purchase soon. Adding a top quality sound card is also on the agenda (as well as some interesting programs like The Jammer and Power Chords). Would anyone have a suggestion for a good sound card? Yeah, I could listen while the salesmans rants and raves about all his stock. But when it comes from someone who has purchased it and now regrets it (or appreciates the purchase) it's fun to hear.
