The new Decade CM10 priced at about 200 dollars should be able to do the 
job for you. The Decade MS-100s is a good transmitter, however it is a 
little pricy at close to 600 dollars. There is a Canadian company that makes 
an FM transmitter that Jonathan Mosan purchased at half the price of the 
Decade MS-100s. It is a sterdy unit with a rubber ducky antenna.

Try the link below for information on a consumer FM transmitter that is made in 
Canada. Jonathan Mosan purchased one of these units, and he is definitely 
pleased with it. The price is about  400 in american funds.  

Decade, a canadian company also makes a consumer FM transmitter  that looks 
pretty good. It sells for about 200 dollars Canadian. They sell low power FM 
transmitters that are used in churches, ballparks,  real-estate information 
etc. They recently got into the home consumer business, and make an excellent 
transmitter that can be used in the home. Below is the information on this 
transmitter
The CM-10 is a consumer grade low power FM transmitter operating in the 
commercial FM band (88.1 - 107.5 MHz). It is especially designed for in-house 
broadcasting, gyms and fitness centres and small rooms for a variety of 
entertainment, hearing assistance, translation, and information applications.  
Its excellent RF and audio performances, small size and ease of use make the 
CM-10 stand out from all the other consumer grade FM transmitters on the 
market. Heer are the links:

Re: headphone socket on the yeti usb microphone

2012-02-17 Thread Bob Seed
It is a flat response for monitoring. I plug my speakers into the Yetti, and 
then I plug my headset into the jack on the speakers, and in this way I am 
able to control the gain and tone of the audio. This is a broadcast quality 
microphone. I use it on my 50 watt radio station.

Re: yeti usb microphone

Absolutely no! Simply plug it in and go for it. I use gold wave to record, 
and use the default settings. The good thing about this microphone is that 
you can plug in your headset into the bottom of the microphone and use the 
gain control to adjust your headset volume. There is a pattern control on 
the back of the microphone for voice recording, music etc. Definitely a good 
bang for the buck!!!

Re: Removing The Vocals From A song Using Gold Wave

2011-08-18 Thread Bob Seed
I can't understand how this can be done removing vocals from a particular 
music selection unless the vocal is on a different track than the 
instrumental track and recorded separately
Even when making a stereo recording you are going to get some bleed through 
in the mix. I have heard some terrible recordings over the years where the 
instrumentation overpowers the vocal or vice versa. When listening to a good 
set of speakers I prefer acoustic music, as I am able to hear the 
imperfections in the recording if there are any, and the response of the 
speaker that I am listening too. If the speaker produces a sound that makes 
me feel that I am sitting in a theatre listening to a live performance I am 
sold. Any one can rattle the windows with booming base , but that's not 
natural. Nothing like going outside in the middle of a thunderstorm and 
listening to the storm in stereo with your own ears. Now that's natural as 
you are going to get. No speakers just your brain seperating the sound going 
into your ears. I have heard some thunder storms recorded with the Olympus 
digital recorders and the sound is mind boggling. It makes you think that 
you are in the middle of the storm when you are wearing a good set of 
headphones. Not yet convinced that wireless headphones can measure up to the 
standard that I am looking for in audio reproduction.   .

Subject: quality microphones for voice dictation

I need to find a good headset microphone for voice dictation and 
computer

control. I'm planning to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking and I have two
computers Windows XP and Windows 7. The wireless headset I have right 
now is
not very good. I'm quite disappointed because I get tix pops and 
crackles in

the audio stream so I need something better if I want to use Dragon or
Windows speech recognition. I hope I can find something wireless if not 
then

I want to get a set that is quality and has a good long cable or can be
extended easily I wish I knew what's really good for voice recognition 
and

that would also make my voice sound good.

It's important that I feel comfortable wearing this microphone. I don't 
want
to have to worry about bumping it or bumping into it and causing 
artifacts
that confuse speech recognition or make poor audio recordings of my 
voice.

It would be a bonus if it also made my voice sound good. The headset I'm
using now. Makes me sound kind of nasal as if I have a head cold and is 
not

as good as the microphones I use in my Olympus recorder.

It is definitely the microphone to buy according to the people that host

Yeti is a USB microphone made by Blue Microphone. it is an excellent one 
to be sure! I think it would be personally to professional for voice 
dictation but it would certainly fit the bill.

Hi thanks for the recommendation Rishi. I'll give it a try if I can find 
one to play with.  I've heard about the company but not sure if the 
company name is Blue or blue yetty? Perhaps yetty is the model name.

Blue yetty is a good one if you're going for quality. It's a USB mic 
that

acts like a soundcard. You can plug a headphone into it as well. And my
experance with it is verry well good... I recommend it to anyone wana do
dictation with it. It's clean and verry clare... not to mension the 
distance
it can pick up from. But be sure to get the latest moddle... thanks...

Yep exactly so c compremises have to be made, where you can test before 
you buy or take a good recommendation.


All radios have advantages and disadvantages, some have excellent audio 
but are very deaf, others are very sensitive but have a very narrow band 
thus are only really good for listening to speech whilst others such as 
the Sangean tabletop range, CC SW etc are quite a good compremise.

The Solution? Well there are several you can try, the most obvious

What is nice about sweepgen is that you actually don't need any other

As the name says it is also a sweep generator which can be handy for testing
things actually

The whole thing works in a dialog box with edit fields and check boxes.
It's as simple as that actually.  And it is also quite customisable while
very simple to operate.

I used to have a Winamp add-on which would generate tones.  The user could
type in the desired frequency in hz and then press enter, after which the
tone would play.  I can't remember its name so do not know what to look
for.

I would therefore appreciate it if someone could either point me to that
program or to another which would do the same thing.

Hi Bob.  I think you can go through the options dialogue and uncheck
the box which is defaulted to cross fading.  If this option is
removed, tracks will not have their volumes faded at the end, so you
shouldn't lose any vocals.  However, I've only been using the
programme for a week or so, so maybe somebody more experienced will
confirm or contradict this.

And, whilst I'm here, I have my own (more vague) Station Playlist

question, but can anybody please advise on which setting might be
wrong?  I've read the help information which relates to the settings
but I'm horribly confused with all of the input mixers and output
mixers etc (especially as I'm not using a mixer at all).

Yes you can.  1. Record your verbal greeting.  2. Move it from your
Olympus
to your PC (you don't have to do this so long as you keep your Olympus
connected to the PC throughout the process).  3. Launch Gold Wave and 
open
the music file you wish to use.  4.  Now with Gold Wave open the 
greeting

you recorded.  5.  While in this file do a control+A to select all the
file
then control+C to copy to the clipboard.  6. Press control+tab to take 
you

to the music file you already opened.  7. Press ALT and arrow right to
edit
and then go down until you come to Mix and press enter.  8. You will now
land on the part where you decide at what point you want the mix to 
start.
It starts with hours then minutes then seconds and finally fractions of 
a

second.  9.  Once you have decided where you want the mix to begin press
the
tab key once and then the space bar to hear a preview.  10.  If you are
happy with the preview, tab to OK and press the space bar then save your

Re: adjustments to station playlist

2010-12-18 Thread Bob Seed
In my case we are using voice messages only, and there is no need for cross 
fading, just a fraction of a second for the transission of moving from one 
item to another. The information loop is very fast, as it moves from item to 
item. That fraction of a second would split things up quite nicely.   .

Hi Bob.  I think you can go through the options dialogue and uncheck
the box which is defaulted to cross fading.  If this option is
removed, tracks will not have their volumes faded at the end, so you
shouldn't lose any vocals.  However, I've only been using the
programme for a week or so, so maybe somebody more experienced will
confirm or contradict this.

And, whilst I'm here, I have my own (more vague) Station Playlist
question.  I'm using Studio Pro on a laptop with one soundcard and no
mixer.  I've enabled my microphone, but either my microphone settings,
input/output settings or monitoring settings are faulty.  When I
toggle the mic on I can't hear anything in my headphones.  When I
toggle the mic off again I hear my vocals for about half a second
before it goes quiet again.  I know this is quite a wide-ranging
question, but can anybody please advise on which setting might be
wrong?  I've read the help information which relates to the settings
but I'm horribly confused with all of the input mixers and output
mixers etc (especially as I'm not using a mixer at all).

Sorry for the basic question, but any help will be appreciated.

There are a number of basic audio editing software out there:

Goldwav is quiet popular and is reasonably priced and screen reader
friendly. Window Eyes and JAWS have script for making the program more
functional.

Total Recorder is another. It is somewhat screen reader accessible and
somewhat considered keyboard friendly. I know of no scripts for Window 
Eyes

or JAWS.

The program from American Printing House is Studio Recorder and is screen
reader Friendly and keyboard friendly. It will work with the both screen
readers mention above. The price is something like $200.00. It is the most
expensive of the most simply usable recording software that I'm aware of.

Lastly, there is Audacity which is freeware and screen reader friendly. I
found that you have to probably find a plug-in for mp3 creation and get it
properly installed.

Hello Bob and Garry,
Here is an update on the problem I had playing a new CD.
I pop that disc in to lots of other CD players,they didn't have any 
problem playing the last track on that disc.

I have even popped it in to a truck CD player that's almost 10 years old.
To my surprise, there weren't any problems there either.
The problem lies with my old SONY shelf system.
It finely called it quits on me anyway.
I will get another system to go in my bed room, but I don't know when at 
this time.

So I guess you can say, the problem got resolved.
Thinks for all your suggestions!
My best regards.

It is possible that the CD could be slightly warped or could have a small 
scratch on it that is preventing the machine from playing the disc. Some 
machines are more forgiving than others. If this is the only CD that this is 
happening too I would suggest that you send it back for a replacement.

Hi folks!

Its been a while since I've played with Goldwave as I prefer to use 
Amadeus Pro on the Mac but it doesn't hurt to have fingers in the 
Windows pie.  Anyway to cut a long story short I was given a 
job where noise reduction in parts was required as part of the audio 
editing, I can handle this stuff quite easily with Amadeus Pro but as 
I'd never given the noise reduction function in Goldwave a go before I 
thought that the ideal opportunity was presenting itself.


To be frank I was amazed at the quality of the result I got for a 
first try and I'm prepared to stand by the claim I'm about to make and 
that is the Noise reduction functions of Goldwave rival those which 
are part of more expensive products such as Sound Forge.  Furthermore, 
the sections in the manual describing how the noise reduction system 
in Goldwave works are incredibly well written without boring anyone to 
sleep so all one has to do if they want to try the noise reduction 
function is to read for a minute or so and the have the basic 
knowledge required to get started.


So what's Goldwave worth these days, $59.00 or thereabouts? Damn good 
value for money and I'd almost be tempted to say its a "Giveaway"! 
when one also considers its many built-in powerful functions and the 
fact that the author has gone out of his way to make this product 
accessible.

Bob I think there is. I seem to remember that it is called the Mic Mate 
made by MXL, a Chinese maker of microphones. It supplies phantom power to 
your condenser microphone from the USB port. that may work for Paul. try 
looking for it on Amazon.

Hello Pall,
I don't know about stand alone XLR to USB adapter converters.
But if you really want to make voice recordings using an XLR microphone, 
you can use a USB mixer that has XLR mic inputs on it.

My best regards.

H1 Handy Recorder: New Portable Stereo Recorder Announced
June 20, 2010



At Summer NAMM 2010, Zoom introduced its new handy dandy portable 
recorder, the H1 Handy Recorder.


The H1 gets its stereo imaging from its onboard microphones configured in 
an X/Y pattern. According to Zoom, because both mics are arranged on the 
same axis, they are equidistant from the sound source for perfect 
localization and no phase shifting, resulting in great stereo recordings 
with natural depth and accurate imaging.


This handy recorder sports all of its functions on the surface so you 
don't have to scroll through any menus. Its backlit display features 
recording levels, file format, time elapsed, remaining battery life, and 
recording time. All the main controls are located on the side with no 
menus on the screen -- a large record button, playback and pause, marker, 
forward and rewind, volume, and so forth. The back of the unit has a 
single AA battery compartment, a tripod mount, low-cut filter, auto level 
setting, recording format selectable switches, and a mount for a strap or 
lanyard clip.


Likewise one side of the recorder sports a 1/8-inch stereo line input, USB 
port, Power On switch, and Hold switch. On the other side, you can replace 
your microSD card by folding down the rubberized door, or access a 
1/8-inch stereo line / headphone output with adjustable volume control for 
monitoring playback.


Recording versatility in is order for the H1 as well; the H1 offers 
recording format flexibility from 16-bit, 44.1 kHz to 24-bit, 96 kHz WAV, 
or MP3 from 48 kbps to 320 kbps, plus enough onboard tools to make clear 
recordings out of the box without having to edit them much later.


The H1 records on microSD cards and comes with a 2 GB card. Using a 32 GB 
microSD card allows for over 50 hours of recording time at 16-bit, 44.1 
kHz quality. With its high-speed USB 2.0 port, the H1 allows you to 
transfer audio files quickly to your computer. And what's more, the H1 
includes a reference speaker to ensure your recordings are being captured 
correctly.


Zoom H1 features:

 a.. Stereo X/Y mic configuration
 b.. Same frequency and SPL handling as the Zoom H2
 c.. Records Broadcast WAV (BWF) at 16-bit or 24-bit, 96 kHz / 48 kHz / 
44.1 kHz

 d.. Records MP3 from 48 to 320 kbps for maximum recording time

 n.. Stereo 1/8-inch line output
 o.. Auto record level
 p.. Optional accessory package (APH-1) includes windscreen, AC adapter 
(USB type), USB cable, adjustable tripod stand, padded-shell case, and mic 
clip adapter


Use the H1 to get clean, clear stereo sound for every recording purpose, 
from musical performances, songwriting sessions and rehearsals to 
seminars, conferences, journalism, or capturing audio for video.


An H1 accessory package (APH-1) is also available separately and includes 
a windscreen, AC adapter (USB type), USB cable, adjustable tripod stand,

Hi All,

Well, I'm considering one of the Olympis digital recorders, the question 
is,

which one.

I think there was a series of them ending in 30, 40 and 50.  I've seen the
30 and the 50.  However, I think there are several newer ones since then 
and

what I need to know is how do they differ in size, features and cost?

There are other brands also, but there are just to many to keep up with.
Perhaps I should tell you what I want to do with it maybe that would help
you guide me in the right direction.

I'm a storm nut and I want to record thunder without it being distorted. 
I
want something small that I can just grab and go when I need it.  I may 
use
it for general notes and things, too, but capturing thunder and 
transferring

it to the computer is my main objective.

Any advice and recommendations will be appreciated.

Kris

This thing is an expensive piece of junk!
I can't even pick up my local 50kw Am station on it!
Fm is ok but It couldn't pick up anything on Hd2.
My intention is to return it as soon as possible.

Hello Bob,
I will order the booster buffer amplifier first.
It cost $200 more then the transmitter itself.
This little preamp, runs about $600.
And it's made by Eastern Electric.
The company is basted inn china, but their importer is in the state of 
Illinois.
The preamp uses a pare of 6BM8 pentode triode tubes and a 6CA4 tube for 
rectification.
And when I get the transmitter, that preamp will go in between the 
transmitter and mixer.
By doing this, my transmitter and mixer will sound like they have tubes in 
them.

If you want to know more about the booster buffer amplifier, go to:
www.morningstaraudio.com
My best regards.
 John.

Your doing it right, looks like a good source!
You certainly don't want to occupy a frequency that might be used on 
occasion for emergency purposes! Keep the power very low and you should 
be fine. For most people the FM-100mws unit is more than adequate for 
whole house broadcasting, as it is built for this purpose in a compact 
unit witha rubber ducky antenna. I think that the pricing is the same for 
both the FM-100mws and the 3 watt unit, although the front panel is 
slightly different. The bottom line is that these units appear to be well 
constructed with metal and not plastic cases. In my opinion well worth 
the 300-bucks that one is going to have to shell out.

Hello Bob,
I thought about all of that, that's why I will go to:

This way, I won't broadcast over someone else's radio station.
If I stay at the side that's closest to my house, then I wouldn't need 
anymore then about 3 or 4 watts.
But if I go to the other side of the park which is the furthers distance 
from my house, then I mite need a little more power to pick up my music.

I checked the site today, and there is a 3 watt transmitter for 
375-dollars American! The 10 watt unit is 475-dollars American. The 3 
watt unit would certainly do the job for the area that you want to 
cover. I question the extra 100 dollars that you are going to spend for 
the 10 watt unit when the 3 watt unit would do the job sufficiently. 
Keep in mind that you are going to have to back off the power in order 
to keep the unit within the limits set out by the FCC. Personally I 
think that the FCC ruling might be a little restrictive, as there are 
those who would like to use these units as a whole house broadcaster, 
and cover an area that would be slightly over 200 feet. I find that 
some of the cheaper units fail miserably even 50 feet away from the 
transmitting source with dropout and questionable reception. Having 
said that personally I would go with the 3 watt unit, but there again 
this is my opinion, and take it for what its worth. Keep in mind that 
opened full throttle with a good antenna, 3 watts could easily cover an 
average city! Oh by the way don't forget the 10 to 1 ratio that I spoke 
about in a previous post! Believe me you don't want to go there!

You need a licence in both Canada and the United States if you intend to

Quite an extensive document that covers a lot of devices from computers,

High Bob,
The highest I'll ever turn it up, is about 5 or 6 watts.
I will use the rubber ducky antenna for now, because that's all I need.
I don't think I should have any problem picking my music upon a
portable stereo receiver at the park at all!
But I'll find out when I get it and set it up, I'll keep you all
posted on how well it works for me.
My best regards.
 John.

Well, in that case I say go for the mor powerful larger unit for the
small difference in price , you won't be disappointed! Even Dave is
pleased with the unit that he purchased, and said that by removing
the rubber ducky, and hooking up the unit to an external antenna the
sky is the limit! Keep the power very low, otherwise you will have
the FCC coming after you! 10 watts is a lot of power that could
easily cover an average city! were I live we have a 1.3 watt tourist
information radio station, and although it is hard to pick up I can
receive the signal loud and clear, and the station is about two
miles from my home! I think that I saw a 3 watt unit in his lineup
of low-power transmitters as well.

Hello Bob,
Dave did call me back.
He told me that I could put a buffer amplifier that has vacuum
tubes in it between the transmitter and the mixer.
I told hem that I'd like to hear whatever I got playing on the
computer or what I have dialed upon the satellite dish receiver.
But however, I want to be able to pick it upon a portable stereo
like a boom box whenever I take a short walk to the park which is
way less then a mile from my house.
With this fact in mind, he suggested the 10 MW to 10 watt FM
transmitter for about $100 more then the one that was discussed on
this list which goes for $345.
Dave also told me that I can turn the power up when I need it, and
turn the power back down when I don't need it anymore.
So I mite be getting this one real soon!
Thinks for all the helpful tips!
My best regards.
 John.

John:
Your doing it right, looks like a good source!
You certainly don't want to occupy a frequency that might be used on 
occasion for emergency purposes! Keep the power very low and you should be 
fine. For most people the FM-100mws unit is more than adequate for whole 
house broadcasting, as it is built for this purpose in a compact unit witha 
rubber ducky antenna. I think that the pricing is the same for both the 
FM-100mws and the 3 watt unit, although the front panel is slightly 
different. The bottom line is that these units appear to be well constructed 
with metal and not plastic cases. In my opinion well worth the 300-bucks 
that one is going to have to shell out.
Anxious to hear what you have to say about your transmitter when you receive 
it!

Hello Bob,
I thought about all of that, that's why I will go to:
www.radio-locator.com
and look for unused FM radio frequencies in my area.
This way, I won't broadcast over someone else's radio station.
If I stay at the side that's closest to my house, then I wouldn't need 
anymore then about 3 or 4 watts.
But if I go to the other side of the park which is the furthers distance 
from my house, then I mite need a little more power to pick up my music.

But anyway, thinks for the tips!
My best regards.

I checked the site today, and there is a 3 watt transmitter for 
375-dollars American! The 10 watt unit is 475-dollars American. The 3 
watt unit would certainly do the job for the area that you want to cover. 
I question the extra 100 dollars that you are going to spend for the 10 
watt unit when the 3 watt unit would do the job sufficiently. Keep in 
mind that you are going to have to back off the power in order to keep 
the unit within the limits set out by the FCC. Personally I think that 
the FCC ruling might be a little restrictive, as there are those who 
would like to use these units as a whole house broadcaster, and cover an 
area that would be slightly over 200 feet. I find that some of the 
cheaper units fail miserably even 50 feet away from the transmitting 
source with dropout and questionable reception. Having said that 
personally I would go with the 3 watt unit, but there again this is my 
opinion, and take it for what its worth. Keep in mind that opened full 
throttle with a good antenna, 3 watts could easily cover an average city! 
Oh by the way don't forget the 10 to 1 ratio that I spoke about in a 
previous post! Believe me you don't want to go there!

well out perform most of the low cost units on the market since it 
was
carefully designed to pass even the very lowest audio frequencies 
down to 20
Hz up to 15 KHz.  Believe me, this unit sounds just like the big 
stations!

Excellent base and highs!!!



This unit is great for transmitting audio around you home an back 
yard as
well as for transmitting audio in buildings to various rooms!  We 
have sold

a lot of these units to churches stadiums and drive-in theatres.



The unit you are looking at is our latest unit with a remote control. 
This

is especially great for the visually impared!



Its highly accurate crystal reference and PLL circuitry ensure you

the remote control, (not shown).  The frequency range is 87.5 to 108 
MHz and
the channel resolution is 100KHz.  I should also mention that the 
stereo

separation is excellent!



The unit is housed in a very nice extruded aluminum enclosure that 
shields
the unit.  No cheap plastic box used here!  For more range a high 
gain
antenna could be used and connected to the standard BNC connector on 
the
back of the unit.  Other connector types can be installed upon 
request.




I should mention that we now offer a few antennas, other transmitters 
and
amplifiers on ebay.  Please take a look at our other auctions page 
and our

ebay store!

Hello Bob,
I am willing to pay a grand or two for a radio transmitter that's built 
like this.

How deep are your pockets? I would think that Dave will have to do a fair 
amont of modification to the circuit in order to accomodate tubes! He 
will have to mount the circuit board and tube sockets on a newly designed 
chassis, and will probably have to house the internal works in a new 
case! You will have to weigh the options on this one!

Hello David,
You said that this guy will modify my transmitter for me.
Can he replace those buttons with knobs?
And is there some kind of digital read out window that you have to read?
If so, that won't work for me because I can't see it.
When it comes to audio, I like vacuum tubes in the audio signal path..
Can he put in a pare of 12AX7/ECC83 tubes for me?
Thinks in advance!

Our New FM-100MWS-LED-RV unit is ready to go and comes complete with 
a
compact rubber duckie antenna and well regulated 15 volt power supply 
that

works with 120 or 240 VAC sources.

transmitter will
well out perform most of the low cost units on the market since it 
was
carefully designed to pass even the very lowest audio frequencies 
down to 20
Hz up to 15 KHz.  Believe me, this unit sounds just like the big 
stations!

Excellent base and highs!!!



This unit is great for transmitting audio around you home an back 
yard as
well as for transmitting audio in buildings to various rooms!  We 
have sold

a lot of these units to churches stadiums and drive-in theatres.



The unit you are looking at is our latest unit with a remote control. 
This

is especially great for the visually impared!



Its highly accurate crystal reference and PLL circuitry ensure you 
will have

a very stable signal at all times.



The frequencies can easily be selected by pushing the recessed 
buttons using
the remote control, (not shown).  The frequency range is 87.5 to 108 
MHz and
the channel resolution is 100KHz.  I should also mention that the 
stereo

separation is excellent!



The unit is housed in a very nice extruded aluminum enclosure that 
shields
the unit.  No cheap plastic box used here!  For more range a high 
gain
antenna could be used and connected to the standard BNC connector on 
the
back of the unit.  Other connector types can be installed upon

Three other questions if I may.  Is there a pot on the transmitter
which allows one to match the output from the source to the
transmitter?  Second, will this unit work in conjunction with a
whip antenna, or must it be connected to a roof top antenna?
Lastly, are its input connectors RCA or 3.5 mm.?

Thanks for feedback.

Re: Veronica FM transmitter

2010-06-26 Thread Bob Seed
This is the Wavemach unit that everyone is talking about! After looking at 
the specks I am thinking seriously of getting one of these units myself, as 
I have been disappointed in off the shelf FM transmitters mainly designed 
for Ipods and the like! The transmitting distance is not very far at all.


 HI PERFORMANCE FM-100MWS-LCD-E

 Digital PLL FM stereo transmitter

 ONLY $345 USD



 12 Volt Power Supply

 Our New FM-100mW-LCD unit is ready to go and comes complete with a 
compact rubber duckie antenna and well regulated 12 volt power supply that 
works with 120 or 240 VAC sources.


 All you need to do is hook up your audio source to the RCA inputs on 
the back of the unit, and you are on the air!




 This NEW 100 milliwatt FM stereo transmitter will well out perform 
most of the low cost units on the market since it was carefully designed to 
pass even the very lowest audio frequencies down to 20 Hz and up to 15 KHz 
for the high frequencies.  Believe me, this unit sounds just like the big 
stations!  Excellent base and highs!!!
 Its highly accurate crystal reference and PLL circuitry ensure you 
will have a very stable signal at all times.   The frequencies can easily be 
selected by pushing the recessed buttons using a paper clip wire.  The 
frequency range is 88 to 108 MHz and the channel resolution is 100KHz.  I 
should also mention that the stereo separation is excellent!  We tested this 
unit against 4 other stereo unit that did not even come close.
 The unit is housed in a very nice extruded aluminum enclosure that 
shields the unit.  No cheap plastic box used here!  For more range a high 
gain antenna could be used and connected to the standard BNC connector on 
the back of the unit.


 If you are seriously looking for a high performance Stereo 
transmitter, this is definitely the one!

If you are only thinking of broadcasting within your home environment say
200 feet this will not be a big issue, however beyond that limit this could
be a concern if you cause interference with licence broadcasters!
There are a number of factors that will ultimately determine the output
power of a broadcast transmitter! If you are applying for a FCC  or Industry
Canada licence they will want to know the make and model of the transmitter,
physical, location of same, type of antenna  being used, and whether it is
compatible with the transmitter, height of the antenna above sea level,
whether you intend to broadcast directional or non directional, choice of
frequency, and whether or not you will be interfering with other stations on
that same frequency. They also take into consideration the proximity of
adjacent stations. The end result is that if one is making an application
for a professional station the work involved in securing a broadcast licence
is an exact science! I stand corrected on a previous post! In that post I
mentioned a Canadian distributor of Veronica transmitters and the price
being in the range of 600-dollars! It was the Decade line of transmitters
that I was looking at and not Veronica! Decade make a line of very low power
FM transmitters that are approved by the FCC for home use. These
transmitters are made in Canada, and are extremely reliable, and the price
for these transmitters is in the 600-dollar range, and they do ship to the
United States.

Do you like the unit, and would you recommend it to others on the list? How 
much did you pay for it? As Jonathan mentioned in  a previous post a couple 
of years ago the unit was a little on the high side as far as pricing is 
concerned, but well worth the money, as these units are well built!

You would have to get in touch with Jonathan Mosen in order to varify the 
modification to his transmitter! If memory serves me correctly I think that 
it had something to do with the tuning function! A turn type knob is being 
used to replace dip switches. The unit that he has is not a Veronica unit! I 
called Veronica in Canada, and the Canadian prices are in the 600 dollar 
range for a low-power FM transmitter. Too ritch for my blood!..

The Veronica FM 50mw transmitter sells for about 300-dollars American. Would 
cover the average home and  yard
This attractive compact unit offers all the advanced features of the 50mW 
Stereo Transmitter Kit, but comes ready-assembled, in its own durable 
enclosure.


Using the 19KHz pilot tone system this unit delivers performance only 
matched by the most expensive stereo coders. The single chip low power 
stereo transmitter designs available from other manufacturers are unreliable 
and unstable. These particular manufacturers quote 'high stability, high 
quality, professional performance etc', but always fail to commit themselves 
to publishing any true specifications.


Uses of this unit include stereo radio all around the house and beyond from 
your satellite receiver or Hi-fi. Just imagine, you can listen to your 
favorite CD's in the bath or during a family barbecue.


This FM transmitter along with all our other products comes with a full 
twelve month guarantee and our reputation of high reliability.





 .  Oscillator operates at half frequency for excellent stability, Typ 
25KHz @100MHz  .  Operates on any power supply or battery over 9-16V DC or 
with the Optional Aareff PSU

 .  Easily Tunable from 88 to 108MHz  .  Up to 100m range
 .  No test equipment required for setting up transmitter  .  Ideal for 
broadcasting audio from Mixers, CD Players, Tape Decks, Satellite Receivers
 .  Stereo Crosstalk 35 dB Pilot Tone 19 KHz  .  Audio Phono/RCA 
Sockets
 .  Pre-emphasis 50uS (75 uS USA)  .  Low Noise, Audio S/N Ratio Better 
than 60dB

Re: Veronica FM transmitter

2010-06-25 Thread Bob Seed
I believe that Jonathan Mosen picked up an FM transmitter on my 
recommendation from the company listed below. The company that sells these 
transmitters was more than willing to modify the transmitter for him so that 
it would be accessible! A little on the high side as far as pricing is 
concerned, but well worth it!

I think you should also determine the legality at your location and whether 
you would want to be illegal.  In the US, I think there's a power limit; 
not sure what it is.  Penalties used to be pretty stiff.  I don't know if 
that's still the case.

These are the best transmitters in my opinion.
They also cost more than the conventail device you can buy at best buy.
I think the range is what one needs to determine before buying the unit.
I personally totally love there devices and customer service.
I just wish they were cheaper.

There are a number of Veronica Fm transmitters although the company is 
now

called Aareff so go to aareff.com and you will find all of them.  Keep in
mind that these aren't certified by the Fcc if you're in the Usa.

I am writing to inquire as to whether there is more than one
incarnation of the Veronica FM transmitter.  I am considering the
purchase of a used one.  From its description, it sounds as if it has
analog frequency adjustment, and I prefer to buy one which is phase
lock loop.

Three other questions if I may.  Is there a pot on the transmitter
which allows one to match the output from the source to the
transmitter?  Second, will this unit work in conjunction with a whip
antenna, or must it be connected to a roof top antenna? Lastly, are
its input connectors RCA or 3.5 mm.?

Thanks for feedback.

High all list members,
Just as the tidal says,I am looking for a disc man with antiskip.
I don't want it for me, I want it for my wife.
She just got a used car that has a cassette deck in it.
But rather then listening to cassettes, she'd much rather listen to 
CD's.
But the thing is, we don't have the money to upgrade the car stereo 
system.
So the cheapest solution to that problem is, a disc man with anti skip 
and a cassette adapter.

I'm open to all suggestions!
Thinks in advance!

No disrespect man, but I've taken a talking volt meter and plugged it in

I had it sat to DC.
The kind of reading I got was: 1.5 volts in to 135 MA.
I know that the reading I got is correct because, this thing was built to

I use it to bias the tubes in my vintage amplifiers when I think they need

I guess I have a different take on all of this. Contrary to what someone
said early in the thread, the USB port was definitely designed to provide
power to attached devices. Otherwise, the specification wouldn't have
included this in the first place. In Wikipedia's definition of the 
Universal

Serial Bus (USB) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus, it
says "The USB 1.x and 2.0 specifications provide a 5 V supply on a single
wire from which connected USB devices may draw power." Therefore, I don't
see anything wrong with devices taking advantage of this and no one should
worry about anything bad happening to their PC's or USB attached devices.

In fact, Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and LG have all settled 
on

the micro USB port as their standard power port. China and the European
Commission (EC) will also soon be requiring cell phones sold to use the 
USB

port for power and charging.

Of course, there are devices that pull more power than the USB port can
provide. There are also non-standard devices, including a lot of USB
decorations, such as lights, fans, cup warmers and so on that don't 
include

the necessary electronics to support the USB specifications. These devices
could potentially cause some erratic behavior on your PC.

You are correct, it does require allot of power to drive it.
And you can't get that power from a USB port.
Even though your lab top and desk top computers have 12 volte power 
supplies in them, your USB ports are only putting out 1.5 volts.

That's not enough juice to power a subwoofer.
For a 10 watt amp, you'll need ad lease 6 to 12 volts to get that kind 
of power in to the woofer itself.

This is why there is no such thing as a USB subwoofer.

2010-06-06 Thread Bob Seed
That's where the problem lies with new consumer products coming on stream 
who's power source ends up being the USB port! It appears that there are no 
standards in place that dictates what can and what can not be used with this 
port! As I stated earlier I personally don't think that it was the intention 
of the manufacturer to have the consumer using this port to warm up a cup of 
coffee, power a
hand massager, and other devices that demand a lot of electricity. The end 
result could easily end up being a potential fire hazard if that device is 
left on overnight and not fused and shorts out! We are already putting a 
significant amount of strain on portable laptop and notebook computers, as 
we are pushing them well beyond their limits. The more heat that is 
generated in the inner workings of these devices shortens their lifespand! 
Only in a bind would I use my USB port to charge a cell phone, a digital 
recorder etc. I have seen melted circuit boards, and blackened power packs, 
and believe me it is not a pretty sight! Each to his own!.

Hello Robert,
If you go back and read his post, it says that he's looking for a good 
set of portable lab top speakers with a subwoofer for good sound.
Sorry to bust your bubble, but you aren't gonna find portable speakers 
that runs on batteries with a subwoofer on them.

Those are only available in desktop mottles.

Hello All List Members,
If you really want to get allot of bang for your buck, go with desk 
top speakers.
Unlike lab top speakers, you get a subwoofer with them so you can 
hear the bass.
They will plug in to the headphone jack on your lab top and or 
notebook.

My best regards.
 John.

There are so many laptop speakers out now.  The problem is actually 
getting to hear and compare them before buying.


Some are USB powered.  Others run on batteries, either replaceable 
or non-replaceable lithium.  Some even have their own sound card. 
Most sound like small speakers.  I've read reviews for some that 
make big claims and have bought on recommendations to be totally 
disappointed. I suggest to buy locally if possible from a store 
that will let you return if not satisfied. If you go online or mail 
order, you could spend a lot of money returning them if not happy.

Hi. The subject line says it all. Can anyone recommend a head set mic that 
actually has good full range audio. I find most of them just don't have 
much bottom end and are to crisp in the top end. I used to have a labteck 
that sounded better than some $50 mikes that I got for $6 but the cord 
broke. I'm more interested in the mic part of the head set as I listen 
through my speakers and don't plug the head phones side in. Thanks. Joe. 
PS. If you have one that you think is good, I would be interested in a

Some of you might recall hearing about the payola scandal of the 50's and 
60's where DJ's were actually paid cash for the launching and promotion of a 
hit single that a record company deemed to be a hit. Then there are the 
countless number of song writhers who have never been paid fairly for their 
work, so as you can see record companies are no angels either. Even 
musicians are saying enough is enough, and it is for this reason that many 
of them are going independent making their music available on line as a free 
download or for a price that is resonable for the consumer.

High Bob,
I wasn't gonna brake this on the list, but after talking it over with my

Long before I got back in to radio, I worked at clubs.
I have had super stars to walk up to me and put their CD's and records in 
my hands and tell me to play them.
Super stars like Jennet Jackson Luther Vandross The Pet Shop Boys just to 
name a few.

I came by allot of autographed CD's and records that way.
Now, I am telling you all that these CD's and records were given to me by 
the stars that made them.
Tom, are you gonna tell me that I stole these CD's and records from the 
super stars that gave them to me?

Having worked at a radio station for 30 plus years I can tell you first 
hand that it is quite common for music directors to give CD's away to 
their staff. Record companies will often send out duplicate copies of the 
hottest releases hoping that they get into the hands of as many people as 
possible. and then there are the CD'Sthat will never make it to air, 
as they are inferior in quality. If I received a full length CD I would 
usually chuck the promo CD single. My daughter would fish them out of the 
waste basket and take them home and would make a little pocket change by 
selling them on ebay. As these are promo CD's they often come with their 
unique identification number such as PRCD0001. Record collectors will go 
out of their way to pick up promo CD's, as they know that some day they 
just might be collectors items. Getting free music from a radio station 
could be considered as a perk in the industry. I would much rather prefer 
people taking CD's home and burning them as aposed to ripping me off. 
Radio stations don't usually get a break when purchasing full length CD'S 
from a record company. We pay an annual subscription fee that entitles us 
to receive promotional CD'S with multiple tracks. Some of those tracks 
will be hit material and will be put into rotation for air play. There 
are times when I have received promo CD's with only one good song that I 
know will make the charts. In that case you dub the music selection and 
put it in rotation and dump the promo CD. It is very common for a radio 
station to receive upwards to 100 new releases a week, and out of those 
100 releases you are lucky if 2% of those songs ever see the light of 
day. So, the bottom line is that it is better to get the facts before you 
decide to lynch the guy. If his boss gives him a promo CD so be it. Now 
if he decides to sell that CD to a used record store and the record store 
sells that same CD to an unknowing consumer that is where I have a 
problem. It will usually say on the CD not for retail sale. In order to 
regain confidence in the marketplace record companies are, in some cases 
re releasing old nuggets on vinyl, and as part of the package are 
enclosing a CD copy of that same recording. Believe it or not vinyl seems 
to be making a come back. There is something to be said about the 
warmness of vinyl that you can't duplicate with CD'S. .

Apple tried to do the exact same thing with their iTunes. They tried
limitting exactly what type of player you could put their music etc on
in the same way BARD is. The reasons that didn't work are the exact
same reasons BARD shouldn't be doing that either. If you get your
hands on something, whether you have legal access to do so or not,
you're going to want to do whatever you want with that something.
Either put it on a CD, or copy it to something smaller than your
Victor Reader, or any number of things. And if someone wants to burn
that book to a CD, or do something else with it that BARD has decided
they're not allowed to, even though they have legal access to it,
people are just going to find less legal means to do so.
Rather than prop up and defend an out of date business model, people
should be pushing companies like BARD to get caught up with the rest
of the world and actually give people a choice as to what to do with
their acquisitions.

Why not try wireless speakers! You simply plug in a small transmitter into 
your IPod, and you can place the speakers in any part of the room, and they 
come with an AC adaptor, or they can be battery powered. Sold at Radio Shak

The DM520  is roughly $199, and the DM 71 is going for approximately $400 
American funds. From what I can gather the 71 has detachable microphones, 
and a little more in the way of speech navigation. Olympus has about 20

 HI PERFORMANCE FM-100MWS-LCD-E

 Digital PLL FM stereo transmitter

 ONLY $345 USD



 12 Volt Power Supply

 Our New FM-100mW-LCD unit is ready to go and comes complete with a 
compact rubber duckie antenna and well regulated 12 volt power supply that 
works with 120 or 240 VAC sources.


 All you need to do is hook up your audio source to the RCA inputs on 
the back of the unit, and you are on the air!




 This NEW 100 milliwatt FM stereo transmitter will well out perform 
most of the low cost units on the market since it was carefully designed 
to pass even the very lowest audio frequencies down to 20 Hz and up to 15 
KHz for the high frequencies.  Believe me, this unit sounds just like the 
big stations!  Excellent base and highs!!!
 Its highly accurate crystal reference and PLL circuitry ensure you 
will have a very stable signal at all times.   The frequencies can easily 
be selected by pushing the recessed buttons using a paper clip wire.  The 
frequency range is 88 to 108 MHz and the channel resolution is 100KHz.  I 
should also mention that the stereo separation is excellent!  We tested 
this unit against 4 other stereo unit that did not even come close.
 The unit is housed in a very nice extruded aluminum enclosure that 
shields the unit.  No cheap plastic box used here!  For more range a high 
gain antenna could be used and connected to the standard BNC connector on 
the back of the unit.


 If you are seriously looking for a high performance Stereo 
transmitter, this is definitely the one!

If price is no object the Broadcast Warehouse transmitters are the best.
I'd guess however that you're not going to spend between 7 and 8 hundred 
dollars so those probably wouldn't be suitable.
If you're looking at something in the one hundred dollar range or so you 
might consider one of the Mobileblackbox units.

Also in that price range is the Wholehouse fm transmitter.

For about $350 you can buy the Wavemach 100 milliwat transmitter from 
Wavemach.com in Canada.

And of course there is always the C. Crane transmitter for $69.
Different options for different price ranges so as you can see there are a 
lot of them and it's a matter of what you have to spend for them.

Re: C-Crane Transmitter Question

2010-01-09 Thread Bob Seed
You are going to have to tweak both the computer and the transmitter in 
order to get the optimum performance out of your transmitter without pushing 
the envelope. Just by making minor adjustments to the audio settings should 
keep you on track. If you hear the transmitter starting to distort, then 
that is an indication to back off the source a little. If you have to turn 
up the volume of your tuner that is OK. The analogy that I like to use is 
similar to taking water from a garden hose and trying to force it through a 
drinking straw. It won't work!!! A good source for low-power FM transmitters 
is http://www.fmamplifiers.com/
This company is in Canada, and the guy in question will build a transmitter 
to your specifications with switches and knobs that are easily identifiable 
for those without sight. These transmitters are a little pricey, but well 
worth the money. I recommended this site awhile back, and a number of blind 
peple ordered the low-power transmitter, and have nothing but praise for it.

What isn't immediately apparent about the Dm-520 internal mics is that 
the

unit works a bit like a shot-gun.  Most of the sound is taken in from the
top end of the unit, not from the front or back sides of the machine.

So, if you are recording a person, you really want to point the end of 
the

unit towards their voice, not hold the unit vertically.

I haven't done major tests with external mics, and I don't know what the
real mic preamp noise is like on the machine.  I hope it is a lot better
than the audio quality on the DS-71 when external mics are used, as it 
was

below par in my view.

For the record, this machine isn't very downwards compatible with the mic
extension cord and remote switch that comes with the DS-50 and the DS-71. 
I
made a remote recording the other day, only to find it was blank. This 
was

with a monaural external mic. Wasn't very happy.

I guess it all depends on how the radio is made, and who made it.

Well certainly its dead from the broadcasters point of view such as the
BBC and the like but I certainly take your point about the DX person, I
don't do much short-wave listening myself these  days but I certainly do
Medium-Wave listening, I'm in an ideal locatioon.

I think we in Australia are very well off as far as DX listening goes on
medium-Wave, doesn't the new Digital Radio sstandard in the U.S. use the
Medium-Wave band with a data stream or something? If that's the case
then I could see how annoying that would be to hear the data being
received by a medium-wave set.

Now I've just been talking to a friend of mine about some short-wave
sets and he seems to think that some of the "wind-up" type give very
good performance.

I also recall tthat Radio Netherlands had a good Short-Wave radio review
page at some stage, if you can't find it on their site then perhaps
you'll find it at www.archive.org

Re: Hi-fi soundcard

2009-10-31 Thread Bob Seed
Putting vacuum tubes in a PC might sound a little like adding a hand crank 
to a Porsche, but at least one company thinks it might be the future of 
computer audio.
Taiwanese components company AOpen, part of the Acer Group, is selling a PC 
audio card based on a vacuum tube--the same century-old technology that 
sends electric guitar players and hi-fi aficionados into paroxysms of 
listening delight.


The idea, according to AOpen, is to replicate the "warm" sound of 
traditional tube-driven audio equipment inside PCs, which are increasingly 
being used as stereos by digital music lovers. The company quietly released 
a first version of the product in the United States in August, and an 
updated version, now available in Taiwan, will reach U.S. shores in January, 
just missing the holiday shopping season.


Will AOpen's audio card revolutionize PC audio? Unlikely, analysts say. But 
the company's focus is one of a number of increasingly clear signs that the 
intermingling of PCs with other household entertainment devices is steadily 
marching along and that PCs are beginning to hold their own in terms of 
quality.


"I wouldn't call (the tube-driven board) a novelty, but it certainly falls 
into the enthusiast segment," said Dean McCarron, principal analyst for 
Mercury Research, a firm covering the PC component market. "On the hi-fi 
side, there are some very strong tube proponents."


Even if it remains an evolutionary--or devolutionary--dead-end, the 
tube-driven audio card does help highlight an ongoing renaissance in PC 
audio technology, driven by the prevalence of downloadable music and 
musicians' growing use of inexpensive, powerful computers for home 
recording.


The standalone audio card market was considerably stronger in the mid-1990s, 
when companies like Creative Labs, with its Sound Blaster audio card, first 
helped PCs become multimedia machines. But in 1997, technology for 
integrating audio directly into a computer's motherboard became widespread, 
and the standalone audio market soon collapsed. The ability to do 
signal-processing functions inside software programs--once the exclusive 
purview of hardware--also helped undermine audio card sales.


Most PCs today are sold with integrated audio capabilities that let 
listeners play music, if not with particularly high-quality sound, without 
any specialized hardware. Creative's Audigy and Sound Blaster lines of audio 
cards still sell fairly well among game players and music lovers looking for 
a richer sound, but the company continues to have only a fraction of the 
market it commanded half a decade ago, McCarron said.


AOpen's card falls into a slightly different category, however. There's 
already a long list of existing high-tech add-on equipment designed for 
musicians creating PC music. But there are fewer high-end cards targeted 
more specifically at hi-fi connoisseurs.


The company itself says the idea was initially a "lark," dreamed up by an 
audiophile engineer in the course of a brainstorming session. But a lab test 
of the idea convinced enough people that sound quality was noticeably 
different that the company decided to produce the product.


According to product manager Richard Jen, the company has sold about 5000 of 
the tube boards in the United States since August. They aren't available in 
retail stores--the company distributes mostly through resellers, who in turn 
sell the product for between $180 and $220.


Jen said the customer base has been split evenly between gamers and hi-fi 
enthusiasts.


The idea has won both raves and jeers online. Audiophiles and sound 
engineers in message boards have differed, often bitterly, on whether the 
tube would make a difference to the sound. Tube amplification gives a 
"fuzzier" sound, many say, and while that might make it sound "warmer" to 
some ears, it would lack the precise reproduction of digital signals that a 
good-quality computer audio codec can provide, critics say.

High once again,
I don't know how true this is, but I hear that Sound Blaster is coming out
with a card that uses a pare of 12AX7 tubes for the line out, and a pare of
12AU7 tubes for the line and mike ins.
Word has it that this card will be out some time next year.
If that happens, then I won't need a preamp that has tubes to get that warm
sound transferred from my old records and cassettes.
I am wondering 2 things.
For starters, how will the card with tubes and all fit in to any desktop
computer?
And how much will it cost?
My best regards!
