[Sursound] ST250 Schematic?

2015-11-24 Thread Rudy Chalupa
the internals are quite different from the MK IV or MK V. I've located a pdf of the user's manual, but a schematic would be most welcome. Does anyone have one? Do you think TSL would be forthcoming with such a thing? Cordially, Rudy Chalupa Pleiades Audio + Electronics -- next part

but the MK IV cone is solid and it's not apparent how to reach the resistor. Cordially, Rudy Chalupa Pleiades Audio + Electronics -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/private/sursound/attachments/2016

fine; a solder joint had given way due to the resistor leads being inserted an insufficient distance. Reminds one of working on old British sports cars! ("Why do the British drink warm beer?") Cordially, Rudy Chalupa Pleiades Audio + Electronics -Original Message- From: Richa

Due to necessity, I've learned to service pretty much every piece of my MK IV. (I'm the guy who did this: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/11410162-post650.html.)If you have a schematic, I'd be willing to take a look at your Mk V. I'm in the Philadelphia area. Cordially, Rudy Chalupa

Note the equivalent input noise of 31dBA. It's going to take a fairly large array of these to get the noise to an acceptable level. Cordially, Rudy Chalupa Pleiades Audio + Electronics -Original Message- From: Marc Lavallee <m...@hacklava.net> To: Surround Sound discussion

There's the 360 degree pot on the Soundfield Mk V that lets you spin a first order Ambisonic image; it was/is accessible via the monitor path. Cordially, Rudy ChalupaPleiades Audio + Electronics -Original Message- From: Augustine Leudar To: Sursound Sent: Mon, Feb 17, 2020 9:34 pm

The Mixpre recorders had a similar issue with MS encoding when they first came out - it took a few revisions before that got sorted out. So it wouldn't surprise me that something similar is happening here. Cordially, Rudy ChalupaPleiades Audio + Electronics -Original Message- From:

But isn't that only true if all the capsules are picking up the full signal? In the case of an Ambisonic mike, where the directional capsules are pointed in various directions, you won't get the full advantage. Cordially, Rudy ChalupaPleiades Audio + Electronics On Wednesday, November 8,

Hi Stefan, The layperson's explanation: If you are flying by visual flight rules (typically a small plane with no instruments)(or you ignore your instruments) and you cannot see the horizon (clouds, night), you can get into a situation where the plane begins to bank (turn) but you don't know it
