😮 this video is a game changer.

Fantastic info. Thanks!

In my studio, we don't have much chance for normalled connections, so I went with non-normalled ones. Also, I'm plugging mics through the TT patchbay. Just scared the crap out of everyone to make sure the phantom power is off before doing any changes.

Next step. Measeunt with a real loudpeaker in a real space al that distance...

Absolutely nothing wrong with using TRS, TT or military when using phantom power, the shorting point is invalid if the connection is made prior to energizing Too many experts, give their opinions, ignore the science, physics To say “never” implies a great deal but Hot cold ground for each, and every type of input you have mentioned Are capable of routing 48 V I would agree as a matter of choice in the live room, snakes, and wall inserts are XLR Tight, locked and logical That snake feed to the control room can and will work with any of the 3 contact point systems you mentioned I run live room xlr snaked to a DB25 TT to the rear of my trs patch bays without incident The argument I’m met with is “But” But you might make a energizing mistake and fry a ribbon mic But a newbie might, ect.. Good practice? Debatable, and completely revolving around the worry of human error With proper labeling and handling any are suitable An xlr does not guarantee you won’t fry a component when energizing anything that can’t take the zap, you could engage power with a mouse click or physical button if human error is the concern Remember the computer driving your trs,TT or military connectivity and when to energize for 48 v phantom is the same computer we each use daily for every act and decision from driving to telling your wife how she really looks in that 30 year old bikini, that may end in tragedy Your brain

That index finger is scaring my poor little index fingers.

Some really valuable info shown and presented!

Would have saved me a lot of time, if I found your video sooner. Fantastic lesson. 🎉 Thank you.

rane110 is no longer available :/

Great video. I have certainly learned a few things so thank you for taking the time to make this. There are a couple of minor things which I believe need to be corrected from an audio point of view. 1:30 Instrument plugs are not TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve). They are usually TS (Tip Sleeve). TRS are balanced cables whereas TS cables are unbalanced and therefore can pick up interference because they do not have common mode rejection. There is an extra wire inside a TRS cable. You are right about the sends being above the returns, however from other videos I have seen online this generalisation does not apply to all types of input / output. In a studio setting with a mixing console for example, you would have the inputs of the console normalled to the outputs of the console in the row below. This is so that the input signal flows directly to the output without the need for a patch cable unless normal is broken with a patch cable (or set up in a half-normalled configuration).

I've kinda confused, I've seen others saying that you need to match your impedance or you could risk having reflections in your lines. Maybe they're talking about communication lines?

Thank you!

Thank you very much for this video. What about the coloration and distortion in close to clipping levels?

tthis info is part of th gain staging, correct?

😫

Very interesting!

Doest the crossover works kindly as a pre amp?

just to confirm, the standar is + 4dBu because all the devices have diffferent levels of output and inputs so we use the 4 dBu standar to avoid problems with the differences, right?

This video was very helpful. There’s still a lot I want to learn about audio signals and interconnects, but this video was a fantastic start! I’m excited to watch the other videos you’ve made. Thank you for the time and effort you’ve put into explaining things. Really nice work!

Very useful, learnt good valuable things. And that being already experienced.

Hi Thanks for the explanation. How would i set up a Sidechain ? I have two types of Compressor one has an Insert type (dbx 266xs) Sidechain input and a (Furman LC-6 ) which has an IN & OUT Jack for each Sidechain. From your Video would the Insert one use Normal? Not got a clue about the other one. It states that the dbx one if a jack is inserted it breaks the connection from the INPUT jack to the 266xs detection circuit. So if it was Normal it would complete the circuit until i send a signal through the patchbay input? Does that sound about right? Any help would be appreciated :)

What school is this? I should've went here haha.

How can I contact you ?

I have a Crown xli800 connected to a Marantz Receiver SR7000 I just want to know which setting is best the .775v or 1.4v connected with RCA Cable. I read a Review that he used the .775v setting so I switched to that the previous owner had it at 1.4 for his small Magnapan speakers. I will be connecting this to a 4ohm 8in Turbo sound speakers, but for now i am in MONO Bridged for my 8ohm Martin Audio BlacklineX series 15" speakers.. Your Math coarse is just not giving me any answers.

Subbed! Thank you for this video

This is really helpful. I am TOTALLY new to this and only beginning to understand. My interest is in restoring and using vintage recorders, radios, speakers and microphones.

Great video. Thanks.

Quick question about MULTS - consumer level patchbays often allow normal/half/thru options (e.g. the Samson S-Patch) but I'm trying to figure out how I could set up a mult on one of these. Is it possible, or can it only be done by opening the case and getting out a soldering iron? :)

At last! I've found a video about patch bays that is presented in an educational style. I've watched numerous YT content creators talking about their patchbays and offering advice, but I felt a bit unsatisfied. Turns out I really needed the diagrams, photos and bullet points. The wiring diagrams of normalling modes alone were worth the watch. Thank you so much!

Correct way to get balanced signal ,from inserts to a patchbay? Oui,all my insert cables,snakes (72 channels of em) are traditional TRSx2 TS, but 75% of my outboard gear is balanced I/O,double oui. So for 25% of my unbal gear should send /return be in unbal patchbay,all 9 PB's of mine are all balanced,or start buying TRSx2Trs insert cables.lol. (do they make them) Just found a way to solder TS ends to PB,but different for return/send,can anyone send any links to help me make sense of this issue. I can solder like crazy,and just donno exactly what is best. I imagine theres dif situations,but really need to find a good source of info. Gonna try Gearsluts,or SOS. At this point id buy any e-book,or hardcopy if so. Oui,what a passion we all have for the most smallest advantage on recording,thx for reading my craze,-COR

I should know some of this ,,, as long as I've been doing it ... Get that slot in my rack ,,, with all the cords hanging out ... Fix the foot trip zone floor ... Well done ... 4 me 2 get it ...

What if we used 2 speakers of jbl? So we need a 400w amplifier right?

My pet hate that I drum right out of my trainees on their first day at work is when they use the word 'Cord'. It's a fkn CABLE! A 'cord' is a curtain string. 😉😁😄

Treasure.

can you explain why dBW = total SPL criteria - loudspeaker sens?

Crest factor = headroom. CF = 10dB is the most common for live sound for balance between $ and quaility

Thanks - REALLY helpful

When does someone determine whether or not to change the sensitivity of a ca18? I have one which gives me the options to change from .775-1-1.4

Thanks a lot. I had been researching on this and this is the best way to understand. Great explanation.

wow men you are a GREAT teacher, thanks alot

Super helpful. Thanks for all the tips and details on the mechanics of normaling. Cheers

Not good audio,

thanks for this video - the best ive been able to find so far honestly illustration combined with clear narrative = win

Excellent point about using only XLR patches for mics. Thanks!

The only exhaustive and comprehensive explanation of this on the internet, you're awesome man!

Thank you! This was informative, I appreciate.
