I am considering moving up from my average preamps to some more professionally acceptible models (starting with Solo 610 maybe).
The problem is All of the good preamps I am looking at only have 1 XLR out per channel.

So I've been working on constructing my basement home studio (I live in Canada) for a while now, adding layers of gypsum to the underside of the upstairs floor between the joists, backer rodding, caulking, etc. I am at the point where I have added as much mass as I'm prepared to add to the ceiling and sealed everything off to the best of my ability.

Ok, I want to hard-wire my studio before I drywall. I will have basically 4 booths and another small live room that I want to have XLR, 1/4", and head phone wall plates in. Of course, the other end of these I want to end up in my control room and also to terminate into wall plates behind my desk so as to easily tie into whatever I need them to.

Hello, my fellow musicians!

I am about to expose a great deal of my newbieness and ask for assistance regarding my home studio's wiring & routing.

Here's my equipment:

I have a Madison 4x12 cabinet. It has Eminence Symphony drivers and on the plate in back it has MONO, STEREO, and OUTPUT. The problem is that only the MONO side of the cabinet works. It is not the speakers, because when I plug into the STEREO side instead the other half of the cabinet works. Therefore, this must be a wiring issues. This goes out to all you wiring experts out there!

I have a big issue. I have an Ibanez S470 with the Axis pick-ups and changed the bridge to a Seymour Duncan JB. I got the pup used and wired it the way it was into the guitar. It worked great til a week ago when it stopped working. I did not have access to a solder machine so I just wound the cable around the clems of both the volume and the 5 way switch.

Hey all.

I'm in the beginning stages of studio expansion/construction and wanted to get some help before we get too far into the project.

Hi all,

These may sound like dumb questions, but I want to make sure I do this right the first time.

I need to add some wall plates to get some cables between rooms. I need at least four, but I think I may do six or eight while I am at it. Cables would be mic and headphone.

This has to be one of my favorite things about working in this biz. I love figuring out how best to connect everything and wire it all up. All of my friends and family know to call me when it comes time to hook up their new TV or Stereo or Surround system. I don't know why I like it..I just do.

Anyway...
