Re: MAC Build Thread

Hi Joe, thankyou again for your prompt reply! I've tested the 4 x ZD 24v1w and the two on the left Dingo are measuring 0.0 ohms, and one on the right dingo measures 1.4k...(the other 9.98k - ok?)...so best to replace the first three...?? Sent you 8 x 24v 1w zeners and IDC cable end overnight today....

Re: Go between kit 2 questions

Mute works great and silently with the two bottom legs removed but when the 48v is engaged and switching mute on and off massive click occurs. Any remedy for that ? grounding one of the free legs ? thanks Not sure what mic pre input type you have but adding 2 x 100k. One between each middle switch ...

Re: MAC Build Thread

Hi again, Before I hooked up the Dingo to Mac PCB with the ribbon cables, and before I plugged in the 99v's I tested the V+ & V- as per instructions on the Dingo PCBs; both read +24v and -24v respectively. The green power LED was lit solid on the front panel. OK this proves the dingo and 24v 1w zen...

Re: AC/DC & POWERSTATION KIT BUILD THREAD

Hi, a couple of questions, firstly what heat sinks should I use obviously this depends on the voltage drop the regulator has to perform, but in terms of the size as It looks like the regulators are very close together and I fear that I wont be able to get a heat sink thin enough? I need heatsinks b...

Re: DINGO PCB and kit Now Available

But I am not sure what the unbalanced device is that the dingo is connected too? But if it is passive then that is usually fine. The unbalanced out feeds a 5k T pad rotary switch. I would like to have as much headroom as possible on the output. A +21dBu clip point at the unbalanced input would be i...

Re: DINGO PCB and kit Now Available

Thanks Joe. It turns out I need 11dB of gain. I was playing around with it and changed R16 to 5k1. This puts 11dB somewhere in the middle of the trim pot range. Is this okay? Or would it be better to leave R16 at 20k and change R4 and R6 to 10k for a 6dB drop and leave the output section alone? Cha...

Re: DINGO PCB and kit Now Available

I built a some Dingos and am getting a minimum gain of 12dB from the second adjustable stage. Is this correct? Yes with RV2 gain trimpot fitted and wound down to minimum gain. This is because the output amp adds the inverting signal which adds 6dB and fitting the gain pot also add 6dB gain to the o...

Re: Go between kit 2 questions

Facing a new problem . build two go between kist , one modified with mute thing , other original. Both give a slope from around 800hz down when the -20 pad is not active . Kits are dated 2005 There are only resistive elements on the GO Between kit so it makes no frequency dependent component. So me...

Re: JLM Transformer mods for GAP 73, CL 7602 Mk1 and Mk2

sorry, I did not understand how to connect the wires to the output transformer, thank you! The numbers shown on the above photo are the numbers on the JLM111DC transformer that the wire needs to be moved too so the old transformer can be removed. So best to add paper tape on the wires to write the ...

Re: Go between kit 2 questions

Hi everyone. Two questions about the Go between kit. Build when smoothly , all functions are working properly but I have a loud click when switching 48 on. Bad cap , ground issue ? Phantom power will always make a click or pop as you are powering up the microphone which is unpredicable as it powers...

Re: AC/DC & POWERSTATION KIT BUILD THREAD

OK then I have been doing this wrong the whole time....500mA blows right away. I always get confused by the way manufacturer label the secondary of a transformer. Here is what I am using http://www.apexjr.com/images/66938_sc7.pdf Here is how I hook it up: On the AC side of the JLM AC/DC secondary R...

Re: AC/DC & POWERSTATION KIT BUILD THREAD

Thanks for the help Joe! Yes I have Heatsinks (not too big) but they are there. I'll have to stick my finger on them to see how warm they get. Let's just say they do not get hot then.... Most of the small individual heatsinks that will fit without touching each other on the AC/DC will not be big en...

Re: AC/DC & POWERSTATION KIT BUILD THREAD

Hey Joe, I am using the OLD AC/DC (one in the photo of your reply above 2004 version) for a supply to a TG1 build. Which is +/- 28VDC Currently I have this Avel Lindberg 28-0-28 2.67A transformer on it. My circuit is sagging the + supply! So the transformer must be too low? I think? That transforme...
