They still sell faders for M7CL, doubt parts won't be available for CL/QL

Same faders - M7CL, LS9, CL, QL, and in a pinch you can peel off the dust film and use them on a bunch of older consoles.   

Props to Yamaha for supporting their stuff a lot longer than some manufacturers.

I suppose it's possible that the Macrotech clip lights are too slow to show when a HF amp is clipping. I can't really see another explanation...

I would imagine with a high frequency transient, the "event" is over before the circuitry can respond to it. ie: too slow, as you pointed out.

Hello. I'm looking for a simple wireless dmx adapter setup for my UK pub/club band. Were trying to streamline our setup as much as possible and cut down on the cabling where we can. I run a digital desk for audio on 5ghz wifi  so the cheaper 2.4ghz shouldn't really be an issue and it's not intended for professional use.

Saw a Chauvet DJ system with a charger dock LINKY

Any thoughts?
Thanks

R&B singer Frankie Beverly passed away. He will be missed.

We live in a world with lots of dynamic restriction.  Some is electrical compression or limiting in audio, some is ambient noise floor in the acoustic environment.

I have a vague recollection of the exercise you reference and the take away was that accurately reproducing a wave form with that amount and type of HF content was not the trivial thing it was presumed to be.  It kind of tied in with Yamaha's suggestion in the PM3000 owners manual to design the loudspeaker system to have 20dB of unclipped headroom over the anticipated operational level.  Unclipped HF sounds better, whodathunkit?  Clip the sub amp on kick drum hits?  Nobody notices unless you launch cone-fetti.

Some years ago I was servicing/upgrading a "franchise" of venues with newer gear.
A lot of them had old style trap systems with a corresponding amp rack. Big amp on the subs and gradually smaller amps as you moved higher in the passbands.
Money was tight, so we serviced the old cabs and put in new amps and sometimes processing. A lot of those old boxes really came to live with an amp capable of enough output voltage swing on the mid and hi sections. Using something like a Lab FP10K on a 3-way+sub (think KF850 or similar) was a huge upgrade from the traditional MA5000-MA3600-MA2400-MA1200 or similar setups of it's day.
MA1200 had enough "watts", but not enough voltage on the output was the conclusion.

See what Thomann sell, they are the MI supplier of choice in Europe. On that point they sell this as part of their own brand range https://www.thomann.co.uk/the_t.racks_power_conditioner_12.htm a lot cheaper than the Furman option.

Saying that power in Europe is generally pretty stable unless your in the middle of nowhere on an overhead supply so generally just simple surge protection is all that is needed.

For lawsuits alone...

I seem to recall an anecdote from one of the acoustics books I read in my youth where a researcher had been using maybe a dozen 200 watt amplifiers while trying to faithfully recreate the sound of a scissor snip. I suspect that an amplifier "10 times more powerful" may indeed have some advantage with certain kinds of sounds. I doubt any manufacturer wants to make an amplifier any more expensive than necessary. Marketing watts might work for a sale but there are probably cheaper ways to get marketing watts than making real watts.

I concur. Using any new tool in a familiar context tends to give me a lot of what would have seemed like random, useless info [before using] AND useful experience with which to make decisions.

As long as they don't run out of replacement faders, I think most of us will be OK.

I'll add that "discontinued with immediate effect" usually means either "we can't get the parts any more" or "there are lawyers involved".  And given that the QL is continuing until stock is deleted, it's almost certainly the former.  So I wouldn't hold my breath for discounts.
