Author Topic: CP55 non sync level Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-31-2002 10:03 PM                     Kenneth how long was it before you could comfortably sit down  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 06-01-2002 03:33 AM                     Even if you diddle and knock the calibration out for the SRA5, assuming it's still conected that (and if so why??!), you only need Cat 69T and a millivoltmeter to put it back.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 06-01-2002 04:09 AM                     Get a cheap mixer and run it through that. Then adjust the levels with the fader on the mixer. It also means that you can have other things (microphones ect) plugged in to the non-sync.  |  IP: Logged David Whitbeck Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Tempe, AZ Registered: Jun 2001 posted 06-01-2002 05:20 PM                     Hey, that's a thought. It just so happens that we have a couple of cheap mixers laying around that I could use.  |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-01-2002 07:50 PM                     Yes, We have a Mackie 32 channel 8 Submixer stereo board at the church. This is the one like was used for the first Star Wars film. There are some neat Behringer mixers for less than $100.00 I am really in favor of leaving the hood down on equipment that might kill a show. (Like the sound procesor) KEN  |  IP: Logged Jan Hackett Expert Film Handler Posts: 148 From: Albuquerque, NM, USA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 06-01-2002 08:12 PM                     Use a plastic tweaking stick to adjust pots in electronics. Metal screw drivers can cause quirkyness with capacitors and not give one an accurate setting. ------------------ Jan Hackett Theater Operations Manager Extreme Screen Dynatheater NM Museum of Natural History Foundation  |  IP: Logged David Whitbeck Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Tempe, AZ Registered: Jun 2001 posted 06-02-2002 03:10 PM                     It's a good thing the owner has one of those tweaking sticks then. He just informed me that all we need to do is adjust the pots, he's a smart man, he should be projecting and not me. Reading this Jerry?  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 06-02-2002 08:23 PM                        you can use a small screwdriver on the processor. Tweek sticks are really only necessary in certain situations; RF circuits, and high voltage circuits. since the processor contains neither, you are safe. Ken, Been there, done that Josh  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-03-2002 12:05 AM                        Michael, rule of thumb is, never EVER connect anything to the processor that has a mic preamp in it. Ten minutes after you do, management will call up to you to tell you to please make an announcement for everything from cars with headlights left on in the parking lot to kids lost a the concession stand. If you HAVE to install a mixer, then on the very first call for you to make an announcement, just say, "Can't to it...this mixer is missing a microphone intraforming culminizer. Sorry." You'll thank me later.  |  IP: Logged David Whitbeck Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Tempe, AZ Registered: Jun 2001 posted 06-03-2002 03:34 AM                     I would much rather announce those things over a mic than have to go in front of the audience and tell them to their face. I've had to do that before... "Sorry, we can't get it going, you can get your refunds at the boxoffice." Not fun.  |  IP: Logged
