Why are USB-C mic cables so noisy? #audiointerface
zhlédnutí 3,9KPřed 6 měsíci
This inexpensive USB-C to XLR mic cable is advertised to work great with dynamic microphones. While it does a pretty impressive job for how much it costs, it is pretty noisy. This example is a worst-case scenario, using a broadcast mic that usually needs a good bit of gain. This mic isn't nearly as bad as an SM7b or RE20, but it still likes a healthy pre-amp to sound it's best. You can find det...
Hey , got an issue with my s32 ans x32. Using out 15/16 for mains I get a horrible hum on channel 15 only. I ve swaped cables, switched 15/16 and still get the hum. Any ideas?
I'm upgrading from a Yamha MG10xu to the A&H CQ-18t. This is part of my living room music setup, which consists of a digital piano, a microphone, a synth module. For streaming Apple Lossless music i have USB out of my iMac into a very decent DAC then XLR out into the mixer. I'm I better off using the CQ-18t's built-in DAC or should I continue using my DAC? Thank you!

Can you make a video using it as a stand alone snake like the CATboxes. But 8ch if it is posible of course.
Trailer looks like an older rave rig. Lots of speakers, small rack. I'd wonder if it's all banana connectors, or even bare ends. I had to do a gig on one once. Three different systems and loads of amps, cables everywhere, was a mess. All in mono as well, but they had an M7 from somewhere. Was an alright hour and a half show.. but the spaghetti still keeps me up at night.... Re turbo sound, floodlight is still a decent box for live music, linear research amps make a big difference though. Funktion one is fine for dance music.. don't try lavs on it though
Does this mixer have a vocal compressor? I know the AG06MK has a digital compressor that has to be adjusted via the app. Is this the same on the Flow 8?
Never heard of something like this. I don't work in live sound. Does this only work with Midas? Is this proprietary to stage connect? I'm not familiar with stage connect either. I have a sound devices scorpio I don't imagine I can plug into that. Does it work with any computer? Already using Dante for functionality like this. Thank you, Sam
now i want to buy a wing even more
Great coverage of this units !
A little confused on why I would use this. I cannot use for vocal mics or instruments.
@@donaldburns4462 If you use wireless mics or transmitters for instruments those all output line level. Same thing for powered monitors and wireless in ears on the output side.
I have one with the 16 outputs. I’m going to use it with my XR18 via Ultraner. When routing, this is only for the Buses or the equipment function for the Main L/R
My first foray into audio over Cat cabling has been with Soundtools stuff. I use it live for connecting a custom pedal board, which I use for vocal effects, to my FOH console. In the studio, I use a few Soundtools boxes and cables to manage the signal distribution to my Atmos system. A+ stuff! Plus, Dave is a top chap!
Cool.. Good Feedback
Question: Can these boxes be used stand alone, without a Behringer/Midas mixer? A pair of these (or probabbly a pair of the I/O models) could be a nice replacement for an analog multicore in a setup with e.g. an older analog mixer.
Yes... you can pair them up to make digital snakes!
As good as the job is you can’t beat wireless technology
I use AirPod Pros most of the day honestly, but for video editing the latency involved with wirelss is a no-go. You can't tell what's in sync editing with bluetooth headphones, so wired headphones will be relevant for a long time to come still for editors & musicians. Thanks for the message!
I love my 16 output model as expansion of my DL16 on Midas M32C mobile rack. Also I did many times IEM system with MR18 with 16 outputs as digital splitter. Theese modules are beast as P16. StageConnect is heaven, I've never had a chance to enter. Wing is no go for me. 😊
I have a question for you, wouldn't be cheaper to use the Behringer ADA8200 with ADAT on the DL16?
@@16LiveRecords Your name is 16 live records. Everything 16 should work perfectly for you 😀😊🤣
Hello! Thanks for the video. Beside the low volume of the signal, I felt that the quality of the audio has decreased. Do you think it's possible? Or it's just equivocated perception? Thanks a lot!
Hey thanks for the message. It can be really hard to tell quality differences at varying volumes... it's certainly possible that you could be hearing a difference though with anything in-line at this price point.
@@DcSoundOp You are right! Even the quality of cables may interfere. I will try to do some more tests. Thanks for your answer!
So I have the D6 0X made by the same company, do you always have to have the receiver plugged into your phone with the cable? There is no way to Bluetooth it? If there is, can you explain that? I cannot get anything on this to pair with anything, I can’t even get the microphone to say it’s paired to the receiver. Any help would be appreciated
Is it only compatible with x32 and midas?
Yes, only with their family of consoles, including the Wing too.
Looking for replacement/upgraded wheels for my PELICAN STORM iM2975. Any suggestions?
Transformer noise, ground loop noise, perfectly predictable... Don't do dat
@@YooTooobJeff Good guess, but the noise in this video has nothing to do with ground loops & the power supplies shown don’t have transformers.
@@DcSoundOpyou literally put the mic next to a transformer to show us the noise
@@YooTooobJeff No, I didn’t. Those are switch mode power supplies and neither have transformers… that was rather the point of the video.
I plan on putting large wheels. Not only softer but bigger for city sidewalks.. any recommendations on how this might fit?
I think the ones I used in this video were about as big as you can fit in there.
I would not buy gear used on FB Marketplace
my church has an M300. I loathe it, one of the most back to front consoles. and the lack of some features that even the equivalents consoles from competitors at the time had annoys me
If you have to fix a cable on top of a truss, you didn't bring enough cable. Fixing should be done back at the shop. But I agree, I hate soldering even the XLR connectors.
Which is more pleasing to listen to, Eris studio 8 gen2 or r65 v2?
Does anyone know how those trekpak dividers hold up over time vs the padded ones?
The Genelec 1029a are actually better for same price?
I think so, yes.
M48 is actually very popular today
Which mixer do you use them with? I'm just finding out they are popular now that they've been discontinued :(
Hi, are thes Better then PreSonus Eris Studio 8?
I haven't had the chance to A/B them against the Eris 8's but for the money you could potentially save, I would give the Eris a shot if you can find a place to demo both.
@@DcSoundOp i ordered the HS8's 🙂
Why wouldn’t you want the power amps powered by the furman conditioners?
In short, Furman conditioners don't do much to actually condition the power and are designed to work with relatively low and consistent current loads. They don't offer any protection for dynamic (relatively) high-current loads like power amplifiers. On a more practical note, like the listing in this video shows, you'd end up needing one for every amp to avoid popping the 15A breakers, which is just silly. You're better off investing in a rack power distro solution, like something from Motion Labs that can bring multiple circuits to a single rack to power your amps properly. www.motionlabs.com/products/rac-pac/
Almost no market for large format analog desks at all. Home studio or an install. I bought a package from a theatre (I only wanted the Meyer UPAs) that included a Crest VCA 48 desk. It had been used on three musicals before a new TD decided to go digital, and had an amazing roadcase. Got 800 bucks for it but it took almost a year.
I used to love mixing monitors on the Crest desk a friend owned. I don’t remember the model, but I don’t think it had the big meter bridge like the VCA 48. I bet he’s still got it in storage somewhere.
Roland have discontinued all audio mixers. If I found one cheap enough I'd buy one. My high school had one and probably still does.
This is a fun line of content, I could watch these all day!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!. I''ll never let the iPod Video go.... Modding one in 2021.
The Roland stuff is not bad but definitely not up to date. I would take it over a Analog setup but I don’t think you can get more than the asked 800$ for the full setup. Any higher, I would choose something else honestly.
i'll give him 4 for the whole system in the Trailor
😂
Some decent deals here! I bought a Mackie Profx 12 from a guy on OfferUp but when i got it home the entire left channel of the main bus didn’t work. I’ve had it open a few times and checked all the ribbon cables/output jacks on the main bus board but no dice. Also no sign of blown components or corrosion on the main bus board. Wonder if anyone in your community might know how to fix it? Everything else works fine, just the left channel. Weird!
What do y'all think a real world price for a A&H GL2400 32 channel is these days?
That's a tough question. It's going to depend a lot on where you are located, if you'll find a buyer at any reasonable price. Completed listings on eBay show these actually sell around $350 with $50-100 shipping on top. There are a pile of them not selling on Reverb for $500-$700+, so in person maybe $450 tops based on what I'm seeing, but finding a buyer is going to be tough.
@@DcSoundOp Yeah, I was thinking $350-400 in person. I sure wouldn't want to mess with shipping one haha
The crazy part of the trailer thing is that the system is inside of it and not in an AC controlled space....
That Roland personal mixing system is actually really versatile and sounds pretty nice. I know some folks who run other consoles and just use the personal monitoring system via a MADI bridge that Roland used to make. The best combo with them is Roland's own M5000 console, it has a special mode to turn one of the personal units into an "Engineers Monitor" that can mirror any users' unit at the push of a button so the engineer can very efficiently help out if needed. If the dude would just sell me the personal mixers for say $2k I'd probably go for it :)
Wow, I had no idea those M-48 monitor stations were so sought-after. Funny, it looks like someone made an offer on that package and it sold already. Thanks for the great info!
Man people are smoking crack. Why would I buy a thing that costs hundreds used for like 10% off
Those old live desks with tons of channels like an Soundcraft MH-3 or Series Five or an Allen & Heath ML5000 make really great studio tracking desks. It gives you a high quality mic preamp and a very handy EQ and direct outs. Analog desks also let you track with zero latency and those old live desks have tons of aux's for headphone mixes. Sure its not a Neve, API or SSL but its better than all of those old digital mixers that only run at 48K internally. I have been using a ATI Paragon 2 for about a year now and I always wanted an SSL but could never justify the cost but I found a 48 ch ATI paragon at a theater that had went digital. API mic preamps and dynamics on every channel and the EQ is far better than any SSL EQ ever. I'm not going to be loading and unloading the desk like a tour would so its easier for studios to justify these analog mixers. But NO WAY would I go back to gigging with an analog console, but for a studio a 32 or 48 channel mixer is a good idea actually. So I can see where a live engineer would see an old analog desk and say NOPE, but a small home studio could really benefit from it. So I think there are people who would buy an analog mixer but it would serve a different purpose today! Cheers!! Great Video!!
I think you're abosolutley right, the only people I know who are using analog consoles daily have them in studios like you're doing. There are some great deals to be had if you've got the space.
Just found a pair in a 2nd Hand store in Japan for $10.
