You pulled a Bill (tgo). OO mike13 Junior Username: mike13 Post Number: 37 Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Sunday, February 08, 2009 - 4:04 pm:    Hey Dave,where do you plug it in ???? davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 7516 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 08, 2009 - 4:27 pm:    I'm guessing a power coupling, and given the available information, I would choose a port power coupling over a starboard one, just in case your band comes under attack. Hope that helps. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 2031 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Sunday, February 08, 2009 - 4:35 pm:    It may be logical to take a Triquarter reading first. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 7517 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 08, 2009 - 4:53 pm:    I've always thought the spelling of that device to be tricorder; a useful tool for testing the wiring at some of the more suspect bar stages. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 2033 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Sunday, February 08, 2009 - 4:58 pm:    Maybe on your planet Dave! nanO nanO lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 3516 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Monday, February 09, 2009 - 12:15 am:    Live long and prosper. Bill, tgo edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 405 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 15, 2009 - 7:04 pm:    You guys are no help! There's one on ebay right now. You might also be able to build one. I've built a few and they are fairly simple (although the usual caveats involving AC current apply). Edwin byoung Senior Member Username: byoung Post Number: 1171 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Monday, February 16, 2009 - 12:54 pm:    Edwin, I'd like to build one, do you have any schematics?

Bill, tgo kilowatt Member Username: kilowatt Post Number: 96 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - 3:44 pm:    Edwin, I would love to have the schematic for a DS5. Finding one used can be difficult and I could really use one so I don't have to bring my full rack to rehearsal. Pete mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5879 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - 4:03 pm:    I can mail a schematic to anyone that needs it - just drop me an email with your mailing address. byoung Senior Member Username: byoung Post Number: 1176 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - 6:33 pm:    Mica, Is it this one: ? byoung Senior Member Username: byoung Post Number: 1177 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - 6:43 pm:    I think I can locate all the rest, but the 24 to 30 VAC center tapped transformer, I just don't really know much about. Can anyone suggest a specific part that would work (preferrably with a location to buy it online)? mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5883 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - 7:22 pm:    Well I won't have to send any out. Look for a Stancor TP2 on the transformer, dad says these are usually quite easy to find surplus. byoung Senior Member Username: byoung Post Number: 1178 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Wednesday, February 18, 2009 - 2:38 pm:    As long as we're on this topic: Any issue with connecting a Jensen transformer on the output jacks? Bradley tdukes Intermediate Member Username: tdukes Post Number: 105 Registered: 4-2008 Posted on Friday, May 01, 2009 - 2:50 pm:    Can anyone here who built one of these give an approximation of how much it cost to build? Or better yet, does anyone have one of the old blue boxes they have maybe replaced with a rackmount they want to sell? Todd. mike13 Junior Username: mike13 Post Number: 44 Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Saturday, May 23, 2009 - 6:23 pm:    I just built one in OZ cost me about $55 AUD the diecast box was the dearest part at $35 tdukes Intermediate Member Username: tdukes Post Number: 121 Registered: 4-2008 Posted on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 - 6:26 am:    Thanks for the info Mike. Sounds like a good weekend project.

Jazzyvee jfiles Junior Username: jfiles Post Number: 11 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Friday, May 29, 2009 - 9:06 am:    If you are interested, I just made a couple of rack mount "DS5-type" units and ordered the parts from Mouser (www.mouser.com). Here is the parts list including the transformer: Mouser #:611-7201-021 Mfr. #: 7201P3YZQE Desc.: Toggle Switches ON-ON DPDT FLT $7.68ea. Mouser #:568-NC5FP-1-B Mfr. #: NC5FP-B-1 Desc.: XLR Panel Mount Connectors 5C FEMALE BLACK $11.52ea. Mouser #: 660-CF1/4LT52R203G Mfr. #: CF1/4LT52R203G Desc.: 1/4Watt Axial Leaded Carbon Film Resistors 1/4W 20K 5%TR $0.34ea. Mouser #: 75-TVA1213 Mfr. #: TVA1213 Desc.: TVA Axial Electrolytic Capacitors 25V 2000uF $4.99ea. Mouser #: 833-RB152-BP Mfr. #: RB152-BP Desc.: Rectifiers - Bridge 100V 1.5A $0.34ea. Mouser #: 802-P-8396 Mfr. #: P-8396 Desc.: Power Transformers Single Secondary $10.94ea. You can use the above schematic and build it that way. I got the single rack space 19" boxes from Markertek. I included some other stuff (front & back outputs, mono/stereo switching, effects loops, etc.), but this will get you going. Thanks! John jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 1517 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 30, 2009 - 2:58 am:    Thanks John I will price those parts in sterling. Jazzyvee crazykiwi Member Username: crazykiwi Post Number: 69 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Sunday, July 05, 2009 - 4:48 pm:    FWIW, I had my amp tech in London make me one and incorporate it along with an Fostex 4 channel mixer into a 1u rack mounted chassis. So I had 2 channels for the Alembic and two other channels for mono basses with a stereo effects loop. Works a treat! sonicus Intermediate Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 164 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Sunday, July 05, 2009 - 6:28 pm:    Hey thats TRICKY! cool_______ I like that. Does it have balanced out pin 3 hot with ground lift as well ?
