What a amazing project!... How do you keep track of so many screws and cabling? 😅 And what is that software you're using to test the equipment? Best regards, congratulations!
Thank you!!! I am having all the screws in little bags and also I labeled everything when I took the console apart :) Also the software is Plug-in Doctor. Hope that helps! All the best, Tobi
re +18db and your screen only shows 8db.... "The other 10 might be under the curve" as far as - when he measured the level, he is using the +18 as the difference in level on a volt meter rather than the "digital" convention of peak-curve-shape if that makes sense?? I don't know if this is true though.
1VRMS into 600ohms is +2.22 dBm (1/100th watt). the same volt into 10kΩ is -10 *dbm* 1/1000th Watt. on the other hand 10dDm into 600Ω transformer requires only 2.45 volts RMS. 10dBm into 10kΩ transformerless requires a full 10V RMS. (10dBm is 1/245th watt) so after you've grasped this for a while .. . . does all silkscreening of all numbers on all audio equipment starts to seem a bit arbitrary ?...
Fair points! Might be true that measuring true sine wave level on a frequency is different than reading out a digital frequency plot. Thank you so much for engaging with my content! All the best, Tobi

oh by the way incredible kit
