Fenix told me I'm not wanted around here anymore.

Remember when we used to have LGM chats before Christmas? The good ol' days... :-\

Today's project brought to you by the budget musician. XLR attenuators/pads.

Start with a male to female xlr adapter


Unscrew and remove the female side of the adapter and unsolder leads.


Solder R2 between xlr pin 2 and 3.


Solder R1 and R3 on xlr pin 2 and 3


Reconnect leads to R1 and R3 of their previous pins.


Shove everything back into the barrel, replace screw, test it out and your done.  ;)



2 XLR adapters $5.50(ebay)
Resistors $3.50(radio shack)
Total around $9

Cheapest commercially made 10db and 20db pads around $24 with shipping.
Money saved $15
*bonus the DIY T-pad circuit is calculated to the actual input impedance of your specific preamp unlike store bought versions meaning amount of attenuation is more precise.

What exactly does that do?

A pad/attenuator quiets a signal down. For example the microphone I use for Hi-hats is a tiny little condenser that sounds great, but the signal I get from it when close micing will overload the preamps on my inteface even with the gain at zero. So I need something that can lower the signal so that the signal will not clip my preamp. This is where a pad/attenuator comes in. It will lower the signal a certain amount of decibels so that I can stay within the dynamic headroom of my preamp and avoid clipping.

Makes me think a 'Sound Forum' would be beneficial to LGM.

Reel Talk, that would, seeing as how some of us double(and triple) in ministries besides music.

Mebbe a worship tech area.

Yea, that's what I'm thinking.  A spot where novices can learn as well.

I need one of these for my camcorder mic in to 3.5 mm jack but I may start using my phone to record video.

I wish I could but copper is used because it has a relatively high thermal conductivity of 401 w/(m*k). The only other elements close to that are

317 W/mK   Gold   and 429 W/mK   Silver

which are both worth far more than copper :( I guess in theory if one wanted to you could create graphene tubes for the condensor coil and use a plastic similar to pex but soon graphene will be worth more than gold/silver/and copper once someone figure out how to make it easily.
It truly in my opinion one of the keys to better batteries in our cellphones, Stronger prosthetic body parts, and in our case better A/C.... all these possible uses will make it super expensive. Basically the country that can produce the most graphene will control the global economy.

oh graphene is about 10 times better than copper.

That would be a good business idea. People could hire you to come and slap others for them. It'd be like sending a telegram, but instead of singing, you'd be slapping. We could have locations stationed all across the country for faster delivery of the slap.

Let me go copyright that.


not quite what was mentioned above

http://blog.craigslist.org/2012/10/18/geek-hires-face-slapper-productivity-soars/

In a throwback to the roaring 20s, Maneesh Sethi recruited a slapper off CL to give him a hand in staying on task, and saw his productivity quadrupule.



Said Sethi, “How could I leverage Craigslist to improve my efficiency. To me, the answer was obvious: I hired a girl on Craigslist to slap me in the face everytime I used Facebook.”

For a mere $8/hr, can you afford not join him in this arms race?
