4-pin FireWire connector with the Helix Board and Firefly?

grant — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 07:34:36 +0000

Although all of our units feature a 6-pin FireWire connection, users are able to use a 4-pin adapter as all data is transfered in these pins alone. The additional 2 pins are for bus powering units, which none of the Helix Boards support and, out of all the Firefly units, only the Firefly 302 Plus is able to support.

Are the Helix Board and Firefly IEEE 1394a or 1394b?

The Helix Board’s FireWire connection is a IEEE 1394a standard, meaning transfer rates are up to 400 Mbits per second.

What can I make the most out of my i7100 Feedback Silencer?

grant — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 08:32:18 +0000

When using stationary microphones, which will tend to cause feedback with fixed frequencies, use Single Shot mode to detect feedback frequencies and lock the frequencies until you reset them yourself.

Do the Helix Board FireWire mixers work with ‘Deck 3.5′ software on OSX 10?

They do indeed. You will just need to select the device from the “Hardware Options” menu and select In01 (meaning channel input 1), In02, In03, etc. as the source for each individual track.

Damping factor on the XP5000 amplifier

grant — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 08:31:11 +0000

Q: I want to use XP5000 for the sub-bass application in 4 ohm in 40-180hz , but I’m little afraid of this little damping factor :>250 in 8 ohm at 1khz i suppose in 4 ohm it go down to >125 and more 100 for the 180H. How do you think it will sound?

The Phonic P5A, P6A and P8A are ‘bi-amplified’ - What does this mean?

grant — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 08:29:23 +0000

Like normal speakers, studio monitors come in both active and passive models, with active models being somewhat more common (at least for those who aren’t inclined to mess around with watts and ohms and such). One distinct feature of many active Studio Monitors is bi-amplification. This in essence means that the high and low frequency drivers (tweeter and woofer) each have their own, separate amplifiers specifically designated for their respective frequency ranges – with the audio signal being first run through a 2-way crossover. This allows for higher quality audio and allowing more refined amplification of the specific frequency ranges.

Is the Studio Wizard a passive unit?

The Studio Wizard needs to be plugged in and turned on for any of the routing to occur.
