If you use a pair of giggabit media converters even running Multimode you should achieve 550m between ends plus the length of the link ethercon cables. I think there is a note in the A&H help files about this.
2023/06/26 at 12:23 pm #113450Totally agree, It would be helpful.

2023/03/23 at 10:49 am #112106One of the return legs out of phase possibly so ou are getting cancellation if it is a stereo return?
2023/02/02 at 9:38 am #111254Interesting, with the use of an IDR 10 and a laptop you could add an extra possible 64 inputs to SQ/Avantis/D-Live etc. Never thought of that. Excellent as I have a few IDR10’s in the warehouse.
2022/04/12 at 11:00 am #106808Must admit I wouldn’t trust any CAT5e or better at more than 85-90 metres, my suggestion would be to go fibre optic for the connection. A couple of decent media cnverters and some fibre cable should sort out any distance issues. I believe there is a guidence sheet or video on the A&H website that shows howto achieve this.
2021/12/14 at 1:58 pm #104897New one on me this one, used to see it pretty often on early Avid racks but not A&H. I use phantom power on pretty much every channel so I would have thought after using D Live for at least 6 or 7 years I would have broken one by now. only channel fault I have had so far was a dry joint on a Prime card which was fixed immediately by the technical dept.
2021/10/14 at 10:01 am #104010I would get an external volume control, I use the TC Electronics one which I have had in the warehouse for ages, XLR inputs and XLR outputs, very simple very basic and just works great. I believe they are around the £40 (UK Sterling) mark but not sure, as I said I have had this one for absolutely years. Still very useful though.
TC Volume control2021/10/10 at 3:01 pm #103941Absolutely what Mike C said, education is the key. Get some decent training, pay a respected professional to teach you these very basic skills in using a mixer/ PA combination.
These guys make a living using their skills that they have learnt over a considerable amount of time. Those of us that do this would also admit we never stop learning from our piers. Whilst Youtube is an excellent resourse I much prefer face to face instruction.
Ian B.2021/10/10 at 2:41 pm #103940How about a cheap stereo USB interface, I use the Focusrire scarlet 2i2 but there are loads out there cheap as chips.
2021/10/03 at 10:34 am #103786I can’t see this, surely unless you are using very precisely matched sources, sub 1dB on microphones separate gain controls make sense. Well it does to me. I have few matched pairs in the mic cupboard but still retain separate gain controls by choice.
Just my two bobs worth of course.2021/07/11 at 2:00 pm #102300Kingston Data Traveler 100G3 work, most of the time. Sadly they are not 100% reliable in my experience. I have had much more success with good quality SSD units.
regards
Ian B.2021/06/19 at 7:56 am #101964I would sooner it take a little longer and be fully tested than have it crash mid show on me. It’s not like the current version does not work.. A&H would take a great deal of stick if they announced, leaked rumoured some feature was coming then it did not happen, best to keep quiet IMHO. Mind you at the rate shows are being cancelled and postponed the desk along with the rest of the gear will be staying in the warehouse.😡
2021/04/15 at 12:43 pm #100701Hugh you won’t be dissapointed I am sure, been using DPA, Schoeps and Sony microphones with them, the Sony’s are pretty flat to 50Khz very low distorion and noise figures as you would guess. It would be interesting to try the Sanken C100k or the newer twin diaphram Sanken’s these have published bandwidth of 100Khz. However if you are looking for “A Sound” these just don’t have one.
Ian B.2021/04/14 at 12:39 pm #100681Guys these cards are most definitely made for High Resolution inputs, Kieth is quite correct (well to my old ears) when he says they are just bits of wire with gain. Dave Meadowcroft is spot on when he says on premium balanced inputs some form of adjustment IS included to ensure the tollerances of the componants are negated quite rightly a sign of care and quality by the design and manufacturing team. Bit like “Pair Matching” of microphones.
I have been using them to record classical music off and on over the last few months (All social distancing requirements etc complied with) now I would find it hard to revert back to “Non Prime” inputs for my reference and main input channels at least. Historically good mic inputs on analogue desks were expensive, boutique channel strips are not cheap, high resolution microphones cost serious money. I think the Prime card on that basis is pretty good value for money, especially if you already have a DX32 as part of your inventory. They work fine with both my D-Live and my SQ5 (Thanks to everything I/O) Makes me a happy camper (sorry User).
