Hey guys, noobie here. I understand that there are five EQ modules for the MXP: MXBK-EQ31 = standard MXBK-EQ32 = switchable Q MXBK-EQ33 = Full parametric ...
Has anyone used/own/have any info about the tube channel strips Fred Forssell designed for mxp3k's? I heard they had a compressor section along with the eq,...
I have a few questions, The first one is I want to recap my console, How or what do I do to test the new caps for bad ones or duds before installing them. The...
Dave, Why are you focusing on capacitors? Do you have any loss of level at very low frequencies? If not leave the caps alone. Most will last a lifetime....
Thanks for the reply Tom, Sorry, I thought that the caps would be most of the problem. Some of my eq's lost all the bass and the highs feedback on others eq's...
Yeah the 100 UF caps have been known to go bad in the EQ's. I now know of two consoles with that problem out of 450. The Mono meter bothers me. Have you...
100uf? Are those in the stock parametric EQ's? I was talking about the verible Q EQ's. What Caps would that be? And will that cure the high frequency feedback...
Hi, I'm a new member with a problem. I teach at a small university that inherited an MXP-3000. After being stored in a garage for 4 years, I was thrilled that...
The stock EQ was not the parametric it was the wein Bridge EQ 31. If you are getting Oscillation on the Parametric EQ's, I have heard of this a lot and I...
Did some test last night. One channel runnig a 0 signal centered is -10 on the master L/R vu and mono meters, When one channel is running a 0 signal panned...
Dave, When you put 0VU, +4 dbU, into a tape return and pan a channel left or right, with the master fader wide open and the channel fader ar Unity the left or...
Tom, The good news is that all the levels are what you say they should be. The bad news is I can't figure out why this thing is distorting at a low volume....
Is this an automated console with VCA's? If so the +/- 18 volts rails may not be matched and the IM distortion of the VCA's may have to be adjusted. They have...
Check your voltage rails +/-18V. I thought you were getting distortion at low levels only not that the distortion started at low levels. If the rails are low...
Tom, Yes, This is an automated comsole, and yes, the distortion starts at low levels and gets worse as the faders go up. Sorry if I didn't explain it enough to...
The automation supply has nothing to do with the +/-18V UNLESS the auto supply and the console power supply are not plugged into the same outlet. The third pin...
I checked the rails, the -18v is 17.6v and the +18v is 17.2v. If this needs adjusting, how do I doing this? If the voltage is o.k., What should I look for...
When I listen to the tracks soloed, It sounds fine, no distortion and the solo trim is cranked louder than the mix bus. Thanks, Dave How do you know the two...
That is WAY off. It should be exactly +/- 18V. The adjustments are in the power supply. There is and adjustment for +18, -18, and +24 Volts. Measure at the...
That just says the SOLO buss is working OK, nothing to do with the two Mix. OK the Monitor module is probably OK. It also says the VCA's are pretty good as the...
Tom, Just to see, I tried patching some powered monitors to the 2-mix out patch and Everything sounds fine everything is very clean. So you were right, It was...
Glad to help! Tom graefe@... ... From: david odell To: sony-mxp-3k@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 7:38 AM Subject: [sony-mxp-3k] Re: A...
Hi! Has anyone ever had their automation randomly change modes when you're not looking? Mine will sometimes decide it's in Update mode... which is a pain when...
Dave, It is on the VCA card itself. Please look at the schematic as only one of the three adjustments is for IM distortion. Now the bad news a scope will do...
Sounds like a very old console. Probably Infra red interference on the sensor. Move a few lights arround in the control room. The sensor is under the Status...
Re: your automation changing modes. I found I could solve this by making sure the auto power supply ground pin is well connected and close to the main power...
Richard, You are right on the money. This is the ONLY way the automation will work. It is clearly stated in the Manual. Good to see you are listening to...
Has any one ever removed the VU meter bridge on a 3036? (and put it back) How long, how hard verses I need to take down a false wall in the hallway to swing it...
When I installed mine it was in two pieces. I don't recall that putting the bridge on was a big deal. I think it was pretty simple and modular. It was a few...
