Maybe if all you have is a tiny mixer, one amp and a pair of speakers on stands. It is a lot more costly to damage a million dollar rig. Kind regards Peter Larsen |

TWO samples, out of 44100 pr second, at 0 dB FS. Surely that it short enough and surely the gain setting was on the mark. 50-some samples of applause - out of 44100 per second - at 0 dB FS, surely that is totally irrelevant. Did you use any metering to set the levels initially, or just a clip led though? I used the MR8HD's metering and clip LED and recorded the full pre concert rehearsal. The MR8HD's clip LED guarantees that clipping has happened when gets visibly red. Compared to my DAT the level metering is "not impressively useful". It does however has adjustable fall back for the level metering and it is set to slowest possible decay. If the upper segment, I reckon it is 3 dB wide, stays up, then it is possibly clipped. During the pre concert practice I gradually increased input gain until the display looked reasonable. Just before the concert I decided that I had been to cautious, and that they were not going to play louder than at the rehearsal and increased the gain a couple of dB with the aim of not having to increase it in post. You do have the benefit of knowing the sensitivities of your microphones though. Try it with a rock group and let us know how you get on! My grand nephew is a member of a blues band, so perhaps ... but I don't currently have the recording infrastructure for such a venture, I would need to have someone who wants to pay. Rock groups are in fact just a noisier form of chamber music, and they are also as predictable, the just peak 40 dB louder at the microphones. Now we are talking about it I kinda miss the physical experience and the quite different intensity. With an 8 track or better, I might want to try, trying to mix 12 channels to two track .... nah, been there, done that, it never got good enough and eventually I sold most of the mic cables and mic stands I had collected, but kept (this is the short version) most of the mics. We are talking 20+ years ago. I was looking at an 8 track, but the price I could offer after looking closer on its technology was not to the owners liking ... What makes the MR8HD and this chamber music recording relevant in the context of this debate is that its only credible clip indicator is the channel overload LED, adn it is not reliably detected until a clip duration that corresponds with some 3+ dB's of clipping and it was still possible to get it _exactly_ on target. It is not a costly audio implement, is is in the price and quality range of the budget mixers that are the original focus of this and adjusting gain on it is as easy or as difficult as on those. The difference - that it is about a recording - only means that the actual outcome is documented, the process is the same. Thank you for your comments, some of the time we see things differently but learning to see the other view on things is (also) what usenet is about. Kind regards Peter Larsen |

What a bizarre idea. Are you not aware that most pro amps come with internal compressor/limiters as standard now? It was not at the forefront of my mind in the late evening instant of typing, thank you for reminding me, but note also the point made below, which WAS at the forefront of my mind. Seems like a healthy strategy to me that no clipping stage should be able to thereby clip the next stage. Another version of that same strategy is that the smallest bandwidth should be in the first stage and the largest in the last stage. You simply can't readily 'hard clip' them. Noise concern not voided by that. Plus most crossovers or system controllers have additional limiting available. I can recall one model that comes with the unofficial recommendation of "keep it on an UPS or it _will_ take your drivers out in case of a mains problem". Back when Studio Sound still existed someone in it mentioned the concern that large systems with stray limiters all over constitute multiband processors. Further back my PA experience was that the cleanest sound was obtained by doing NO dynamics processing, all the boxes that can do that fog up the sound. All ... well, not all, but at least some of it ... you need for high quality sound is as much headroom in the poweramps as you want me to have when recording. Not all people operating PA rigs seem aware how well they can sound if you let them, my minimalism is solidly rooted in my experience with PA rigs. doing less and having enough of it is a strong strategy.

So, you think that a mix should peak at +16dBu (5V rms) at the amplifier input? I am not aware of any major change of pro line levels since the days of the VU meter, so yes, I expect that signals will peak at least 10 dB above +4 dBU level + 2 dB for comfort. VU meters can generally be relied on to under-read by 10 to 15 dB, peak meters to under-read by 6 to 10 dB. Consequently an actual signal peak level at +16 dB is what one should expect. Systems today generally have 6 dB above that. If there's an electronic crossover in circuit, that might well correspond to a full-range +19-20dBu mix. Why would replacing one setup - mixer to amp - with another - mixer to amp to x-over - alter the mixer output level? - I don't see how moving the cables from one setup to the other will cause the gain controls on the mixer channels to move. You are quite right that an active cross-over will alter the available headroom after the cross-over and that inserting one will allow either a higher amplifier input sensitivity or the use of gain in the x-over, no contest. The suggested power amp sensitivity does not change by that, simply because it is based on the properties of an opamp driven line output, whatever preceding box it may be fitted to. What I say is that an amp sensitivity at +16 dBU allows the optimum use of the actual dynamic range of preceding stages, whatever they are, while still keeping _unused_ headroom available in them. Most stuff can go to +20 dBU or beyond, so please explain what the issue is in taking it 6 dB below that in the peaks. There's a whole host of things that are plain wrong with that idea, not least of which is how close to clipping you'll be operating the entire mixer. I refer to actual peak levels, and you seem to have read me as meaning nominal operationg level. Also I frankly do not see an issue in running things close to clipping, this because - as previously said - it is my experience that things opamp sound cleaner to me if run that way. Again, I do no advocate running things into clipping. There are specific cases where doing it is simple wisdom because it can be an excellent zero attack zero release limiter, but that is entering the realm of artistic choices rather than technical choices. You once used to say sensible things Peter, what's gone wrong with you? All that matters in terms of overload is maximum peak level. What is it "not sensible" about that? - what I say is that you have to align peak levels to optimize available dynamic range, nothing more, nothing less. Graham Kind regards Peter Larsen |

Initially you make sense, but the point that it is otherwise possible to turn the amps up is flawed. I did not suggest using the amps adjustable attenuators, I might get such amps if they were the best buy and if i were to spec a rig today, but I most certainly would remove them from them electrically and replace them with fixed attentuation or - if that was impossible to do in a mechanically reliable way - used fix attenuation in front of them. Serious systems do not have a lot of knobs that can be - nor indeed need be - turned and tweaked. The speaker processor, power amplifier and speaker operate as a fixed system and the level of the mix is adjusted at the input to the system. A correctly designed system is protected against power "coming and going". The power amps contain muting protection and so do the upstream components.

Far better than than any of the sources connected into the console. Yes, yes, yes ... you missed the black box concept in the point i made, when it comes to mixer output level it is irrelevant whether amp + speaker is very simple or internally very complex. Also, and it gets to be about how I would make system a system today, yes to all of the above and I would still attenuate power amp inputs because some of time in the real world things go wrong, processors fail or plugs get pulled incorrectly, and the simple procedure of adapting power amp input sensitivity to the real world requirements will then reduce the severity of the consequences. If you prefer not to include "what if things go wrong" in your system planning ... your show, not mine. Interestingly also, you omit the one point that actually is in favour of just running the amplifiers flat out sans modification: the reduction of the signal voltage due to the cross-over (whatever and no mattre how complex) dividing the audio up in ranges, Graham does make that point, albeit kinda backwards. I have actually considered for some years whether that should change the strategy I have decided on as the wisest, and the answer is that it is technically preferable for all the same reasons, including simple fail safe design, to add gain to the active cross-over and keep amplifier sensitivity lower. Noise specs btw. does not improve in linear proportion with the price of a contraption. The outlay span between 300 dollers and a million dollars only gets you max some 10 dB, ref the recent discussion about the properties of the DCX in rec.audio.tech. Thank you for having made a much better point so that the nuances of this come out. Kind regards Peter Larsen |

Just check out the Behringer offerings since Phildo's so keen on the brand. we still dont have an argument.. If you mean that Phildo and Arny 'argue' for the hell of it regardless of any rational reason, I can't really disagree with that. Phildo and George are a lot of fun. All I have to do is respond to their every 5th or 6th post and they are off and running for days at a time. |

Just check out the Behringer offerings since Phildo's so keen on the brand. They have overload lights which is a form of PFL metering. Even including those it doesn't make up 95% of all mixing desks so Arny is not in fact correct and you are merely backing him up because I helped you humiliate yourself recently. Suffice to say your word on here (which used to be very well respected) is now taken as seriously as people take Arny. You are a laughing stock, a figure of fun, someone to be lampooned, the village idiot etc. Phildo |

u "Eeyore" wrote in message ... Check out how few Behringer mixers have PFL. It startled me. What do you mean? All the FOH type desks of theirs I have used, have PFL and metering. Then you were using the cream of the crop. Are you suggesting the mini 802 etc. need PFL as well? The point is not whether they need it, the point is whether they have it. The answer is that they don't. They have to cut something to keep the size and cost down I think. That, and operational simplicity. How many of these little consoles are sold, as compared to the relatively few larger consoles with PFL that are sold? From what I've seen going out the door at the local Guitar Center, and what I see in people's basements, there are a huge number of these small, stripped-back consoles in use. |

"Eeyore" wrote in message ... I just discovered that the majority of Behringer's Xenyx and Eurorack range don't have PFL. Agreed. These little puppies are sold in relatively high volumes compared to their more expensive and elaborate brethern. If you know what you're doing, you can get a fair amount of good work done with them. Maybe you should check out their range actually designed for FOH mixing then! The mixer you use for FOH mixing has a lot to do with the size of the hall and the scale of the performance. Most people don't need a 48-input mixer for jam sessions in their basement, and that's where a lot of mixing goes on. |

"Mr.T" wrote: "Phildo" wrote But according to Arny 95% of mixing desks only have that if any metering at all. I can't imagine how you might define "95% of mixing desks" for that to be remotely true. All you need to do is examine Phildo's favourite manufacturer, Behringer, to find LOTS of mixers with no PFL. Phildo had better admit that Behringer's not 'professional' in view of this. Graham |

u wrote in message ... So you don't understand the difference between "metering" (as you originally stated) and a simple clip "indicator" then. No but they are metering Thanks for proving my point, you don't know. your point being what? a clip light is a very rudimetairy meter No, it's not a *meter* at all. Aren't you ashamed to keep publishing your ignorance? Ignorance is *not* always bliss you know. it isa meter. a very basic meter but still a meter "Proof by constant assertion" is NOT actual proof. arn't you ashamed to be so wrong in such a public forum You're looking in the mirror again George. Isn't it curious how two of the most self-insulting, volumnous and illogical posters on the Usenet audio groups are named George? ;-) |

Then, consider their competition. Phildo had better admit that Behringer's not 'professional' in view of this. Berhinger is out to make money, not tickle Phildo's fancy. I daresay those two goals are contradictory to each other. |

They go larger than the '802' types without PFL e.g. the Xenyx 1222FX and the UB1222FX-PRO. It seems Behringer's threshold for offering PFL is 16 channels. Graham |

And they were right :-) No, they are still ticking along just fine. I have one, and I know of at least two others. I haven't had a television die on me since I can recall. And I don't hear "my television quit working today, so I had to get another one" from anyone. I see plenty tossed out because their picture fades a bit, and just from being too small and too backward, but they don't fizzle. I fully expect the Chinese TV I bought 4 years ago to last another decade or two. Might as well live in hope anyway. If it lasts five years, it still will give me much more service per dollar than one purchased at the 1970 price in real dollars. But I am betting it will last longer. The one I have right now I use for a display in my office, and it is on 24/7 and has been for four years. It is the cheapest sort of Emerson 27" CRT unit, purchased for $230 or so new. It will be a good test case. I don't expect to replace it unless it becomes unusable, as the size is perfect for the application and it is hard-mounted. Check back in 6 years and 16. After that, I will have retired. 8-) Of course that type of anecdotal evidence is pretty meaningless, as the carbon-filament lightbulb burning in the San Francisco firehouse since 1911 proves.... -- Mickey The U.S. Senate -- white male millionaires working for YOU! -- Dave Barry |
