Thanks Frost- Do you have the specific modification info, is it just for a higher polarizing voltage? Conversely, does that mean it's not a good idea to use my M582 designated cap (an M58 omni) on the M691 P48 body (which was supplied with the M71)? Steve, my M71 is definitely Cardioid only, with tw...

I have a Neumann 582 valve mic system with an M58 omni head which all works fine. I've been trying to use an M71 large diaphragm capsule (also Gefell standard screw fit) on the 582 body and my question is there a modification needed to the mic electronics to make it properly compatible? I'm getting ...

I totally agree, I bought a 3M M56 16tk that was seriously fucked about 4 years ago. It was pretty cheap at £300 GBP... It's a great way to memorise a machine's circuit drawings and get into debt. Alas, it proved disasterous for my love life and I'm now single... Not one to learn from experience I t...

What range are you reffering too? I had a 'D series' which was 8 buss, 24 frame, 4 band eq. It was a good clean sounding desk with plenty of headroom, good ergonomic layout too. My only quibble was with lousy LF eq (fixed freq@100Hz or something). Fixed treble and the two swept mids were fine though.

What's the difference between Michael Jackson and Arthur Scargill?

Arthur Scargill hasn't seen a minor's helmet in over 15 years.

Actually, I just checked... Canford aren't cheap:

this looks promising and uses a standard voltmeter, you would have to print your own scale though. m I do have a circuit drawing for a Neve (BA376 I think) phase meter, but don't have access to a scanner at the mo- if you email me I could probably sort a copy out though. A company called 'Canford Au...

Hi, I was wondering how the instrument tie lines between EA's studio rooms are wired... seeing as a guitar's output is generally of a very high impedance and unbalanced. Do you use transformer or any active balancing ie. like a DI box sending to a line receiver?

'Sound recording practice' by John Borwick is an excellent book that covers all your listed topics. Especially the 2nd and 3rd editions if you can find them used. The 4th (or 5th?) edition is available from amazon and the rest.

is great on several now-classic 1970s albums by Brian Eno. Just because the man has peddled a lot of crap over the decades doesn't mean he's not a good drummer. Don't get me wrong, 'Easy Lover' is a great song and respect too for sticking with Gretsch for so long. Chris, are you gonna break my hear...
