I seam to recall you have a hum Eliminator (DI) from an earlier post I was involved in ??...turn your unbalanced genos audio signal into a balacnced audio output signal....

ugawoga · « **Reply #57 on:** September 02, 2018, 09:50:54 PM »

Hi Tommy

Having a blond moment !!

$:-\$

Yes I have a behringer on the floor with out from Genos Into that and out to the DXrs.
Now I have to change that to the focusrite and then to DXr's
Hope that's right .
I have got to give you some free time soon.
So It means I have to have the focusrite box on for all things now. Not a big thing.
One thing that does make me wonder sometimes Is when I am In cubase and editing and go away for 5- 10 minutes for a cuppa and return, The focusrite box is not recognized sometimes and It is back to the old days again when I had to keep doing the same thing to my EMU 404 Usb.
You have to switch the box off and on again and your in business again.
I just wonder if the manufacturers deliberately neglect updating their drivers so you have to buy the second and third editions and so on..

Anyway that cheap behringer hum eliminator works 100% at £20.

All the best

Hi tommy

So you reckon that Is the way to go.
If so I will give that a bash. Should get the Focal Alpha's Tuesday and order some leads.
Big thanks for helping me out Tommy, much appreciated.
Cant wait to get set up properly and I am sorry about not understanding some electronic terms .
It was my other half that said . What's that thing under your desk!!, I said uuuUUGH! "must be a di box"!!! I then twigged when ground lift was mentioned!!

Sandra reckons I spend too much on modifications as there is always something extra to buy. I do not worry I am happy In the man cave and she Is happy In the greenhouse and garden. We do like lots of walking and the yearly cruise which you have to lose a stone before you go on one

Up to now I have been playing tunes straight through and doing minor editing and getting my head around cubase. That can be a headache sometimes but now with fast computers It It very stable.
Playing lots of different tunes Is essential for me as I am vitually at the stage of doing some of my own music.
After lots of practice the ideas start to come and life is easier figuring out the moves.
It Is that mixing that keeps haunting me. I just keep battling away and something has to give In the end.
At 67 I have to get my skates on!!

before I become a wavelength!!

No problem John glad to help...I will keep an eye on this thread and get you moving in the right direction... if after a few weeks you still have problems I can loan you my Sonarworks Mic (arrange some post) if one is not avalible for the free trial down load but get your gear connected up as per my drawing you should be able to control your DXR and Focal outputs via your Focusrite mixer control software as I recall (had a Focusrite a few years ago) . P.s. just check your manual to see if I have my Left and right channel's the right way round on my drawing when you reconfigure you gear ...

Hi Mark

The trouble now is Mark that at 67 ,I do not have another 50 years left.
I will have to get a move on

I'm 3 years ahead of you, so I hope I won't have to purchase any more speakers.. And maybe 2 computers.

I go to another site, (northern sounds) It is primarily Classical type music. (but no rule about it). Most of the guys are our age. My hero is this 90 year old, you posts a new great composition every few weeks.. What an inspiration. So now I plan to get REALLY SERIOUS about composing music. .....well.. I'll keep plodding along, doing what I like experimenting and exploring.

ugawoga · « **Reply #68 on:** September 03, 2018, 07:48:03 AM »

Hi Mark
I was hoping not to get any more speakers, but I am not getting along with my old Tapco S5.
Had a re-think and get something decent.
Now I know about balanced and unbalance cables and It also looks like some of my wiring Is not perfect.
Balanced leads look like stereo leads and I have learnt that they have a dual pupose.
There is always something else you have to buy when you make slight changes. It seems to go on forever.
Seeing tht you have worked In studios and know about sound balancing speakers, I would like to know if getting and spl meter and using the pink noise In Cubase would be sufficient for a home studio. The feeling from others is to get Sonarworks. Quite expensive just to balance a couple of speakers and only used once In a while.
You can even get the spl meter on an Iphone and ipad. I am not sure how accurate that or is It a big deal for a home studio as I sit close to the speakers. 3x3 ft.
It Is like snakes and ladders as you get halfay up, down you slide again. I need to throw a few double sixes.

All the best

https://www.soundonsound.com/sound-advice/beginners-guide-acoustic-treatment https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/studio-sos-guide-monitoring-acoustic-treatment I think at the minimum you would benefit from some room treatment John with or without Sonarworks....

so perhaps for now put Sonarworks to one side and look at your room acoustics first....

ugawoga · « **Reply #70 on:** September 03, 2018, 10:06:10 AM »

Hi Tommy
One more thing

When I come out of my Genos to the Bheringer, with unbalanced jack to jack, do I then use balanced jack to jack to the focusrite??

On my previous or now setup the DXR did hum and the monitors did not.
Dont you think that the hum destroyer should be placed between the focusrite and the DXR 8's as I have instrument cable coming from the hum destroyer to DXR 8's at the moment.
What do you think about that.
The speakers will come today and I have just ordered 2 x stereo balanced leads and two balanced XLR leads with the right connector for the Focals.
Whatever happens that should cover me. So I will have to wait till tuesday for the leads.
To start with I will use a spl meter on the ipad and pink noise from cubase to tune in and see where I go from there.

all the best
John

Tommy 73 · « **Reply #71 on:** September 03, 2018, 11:00:28 AM »

Hi John...if you follow my sketch you should be ok remember after the outputs of your Di all audio flows to the Focusrite and out to your Dxr10's and Focals will be balanced...so as the Genos has no balanced audio outputs it would make good practice to put the Di where I have indicated in the diagram... it might be possible looking at your diagram you may of created a ground loop .... as for the cable's if you only have balanced jack to jack to go from the Genos to the Di then it should not be a problem as it will just operate as a unbalanced cable with out the 3rd contact in circuit..

ugawoga · « **Reply #72 on:** September 03, 2018, 12:06:25 PM »

Hi Tommy

I will stick to your plan.

I sent for two balance cables for focals and two balanced Jack to jack
That will cover me now for the balance cables to go from the behringer to the focusrite.
Sorry if I am repeating myself
So does It matter the not to have balanced cable from the Genos to the Behriinger as a balance cable will act as unbalanced and the same from Out of focusrite to DXR8's being Instrument cable at the moment. I was told you need instrument cable before the amps In the DXR's a way back. Something to do with a hot signal I think.
Now I am not sure whether the cable from the focusrite to the DXR,s need to be Instrument cable.
I just want to get this right in my bonce!!

As I will have to send for more Balanced cable otherwise.

All the Best
John

Tommy 73 · « **Reply #73 on:** September 03, 2018, 12:30:45 PM »

As your Focusrite output is a balanced signal I would connect to the DXRs using the XLR input on the back and switch to line (next to that XLR thru) see image....and because the Genos is NOT balanced audio outputs it makes no difference having a balanced cable or not as the 3rd contact becomes irrelevant .... so only after the Di output you should then be using balanced cabling through out...

p.s. just checked input 2 jacks on the DXRs are NOT balanced so do as above John...

Hi tommy
I have got that .
I do not want to annoy you, but the DXR'8s have unbalance Inputs ,so could i use unbalance cable from the focusrite to the DXR8's???
what I am saying is do I have to make everything balanced after the Behringer as I will have to send for more cable.
Also a little question whether Instrument cable Is the thing before the DXR amps as they draw more power being Hi wattage pa speakers.??
You mention Connection on the XLR's on back of DXR 8's. Do you mean the Thru socket or mic /line. I am guessing the mic/line socket here as you say switch to line. ?? .I have been using the jack sockets with Instrument cable.
This Is like a maze here !!. My brain hurts $:-\$

Apart from that I understand all of It. I am not doubting you at all, I just need to get It clear In my head.

Tommy 73 · « **Reply #75 on:** September 03, 2018, 01:09:56 PM »

John you don't have to use balanced cables BUT ask your self why have Focusrite gone to the trouble to give you this feature? ... by using this method you eliminate any other possibilities of problems like ground loops or interference and sacrifice quality... I don't want to bogg you down with to much tec detail here but even my domestic hifi preamp and amps use balanced cabales which are only 1 meter long which goes against the argument that balanced cables are for long runs only which would not be strictly true ... your Genos and studio gear deserve the right connections according to the availability within your setup John .... dont cut corners for the sake of a few quid you have got this far with your nice gear so use its full potental and set the right foundation as you go along and build apon them step by step

ugawoga · « **Reply #76 on:** September 03, 2018, 01:10:28 PM »

Hi Tommy

UPDATE!!!!

I have ordered another pair of XLR cables from gear for music as they also say that once the signals are balanced from the behringer just carry on through like you said.
So all will be neat and tidy now

I only have one problem now ,my poor old back having to crawl around under my desk feeding cables through. I overstretched a ligament last time " Oh the pain"!!!

Getting rid of sciatica is not very good either!!
I am just coming out of all my aches and pains since I last lifted the Tyros 5 and put that In a box to change for the Genos. That caused groin pain and sciatica. Last November.

I was a living wreck for a while and could not walk ten paces before the back went and the Posteria hurt.
Oh well it's the Dentist in a couple of months hopefully for an all clear!!

Hi Tommy .
Funny you said that as I am putting together War of the Worlds registrations.
Got the bass guitar right, but trying to get the orchestra right. Got to make the Alien sounding bits as I like realism. Things to come.
Mr Blue Sky and Elo music is on my list to play.
Have been practicing Mr blue sky and that is best done practicing each section at a time and then playing all together.
For me It is important to finish with the real ending.
There is so much you can do with these keyboards and all time consuming.
The main thing is to get that nice tight floaty sound that cds have If produced right. That means hearing that stereo field with some quality.
I am loving retirement as the world is your oyster because you do not have to get old or notice It. All In the

mind!!

until the poor old back plays up!!!!

Another thing Tommy Is that I also had a motorbike accident at 18 years old where a farmers truck turned Into me and I went over the top of his cab and landed on my back on the curbside opposite. Lord knows how I got up and walked off.
Went to court to get this farmer done for dangerous driving and his solictors used the words and I got nervous and said something wrong and he got away with It.
They played on my nerves being so young naive. They said because It was raining could It be possible for me to waver in the road or something like that and I said anything Is possible which is a fact and before I could say Jack Robinson,that is not what happened the solicitor said case dismissed!!. Very clever.
Corrupt law we live In. I bet the farmer was a mason.

So if anyone goes to court always answer questions with a yes or no and if thay ask you to explain keep to the plan!! YES OR NO!!
That way questions asked should be answered with the least words as words can incriminate you if not careful. Even if innocent.

All the best

Hi Tommy

Got the Focal Alphas tonight
Outer box and inner box damage from DPD but lucky the speakers are in another two boxes deeper.
Had a word with Gear for Music salesman about the XLR and TRS leads I need and they say they are too busy to let you purchase off them directly. They are helpful though.
I searched their site but could not find them. In the end I found them on good old Amazon. two Male XLR to TRS jacks.
I have now to wait until Friday to complete my setup.
I shall practice with headphones and read up Cubase some more.
I did find one of the power leads 3 pin plug beng right over . Must have taken brute force to do that.
The focal boxes were not damaged ,sigh.!! That tells me the plug was damaged at the factory by a wayward robot or a forklift driver who ran over It.
All this I think Is due to employees nowadays put under so much pressure for low wages.
Thank god I had an easy life In the British Railways, Garrards and Austin Rover/BMW. Was a Fitter/ Turner/Inspector.
Drink, Christmas Parties,the works and driving home!!

. Cant do that today

You get told off for throwing a rubber glove at somebody or sent to HR for expulsion.

Hi tommy
I have read about the running In process about 20 hours with low frequency sounds but not too high.
20 hours in one go would annoy the life out of me. I suppose run some cds on them for an hour or two each day with the door closed and the windows!!

I am not spending anymore until satisfied with what I have got.
I do not think I need too much sound proofing .
My door will need treatment or a thick curtain that I could use when mixing.
A guy In Gear for music said If you have carpets in your room ,you do not need ceiling tiles..
Maybe some side traps and corners may help.
I really want to keep It as a normal room as much as I can In case we want to move at some point.
It's all a worry ain't It!!

.
It is annoying that I will have to wait for the amazon leads which come Friday.
I have already pulled my leads out and will use the Genos for practice untill friday with the headphones.
By the way my old AKG 301 Extras semi open back sound great with the behringer headphone amp.
Used to use that amp at our last place a semi and watched films with two sets of headphones ,so as not to annoy the neighbours. I dug that out and was surprised at the quality and the volume. Be great If those AKG are good enough.

I have the XLR cable for the Focal Alpa 50s from berhringer to Focusrite
The right connections ,but on the side of the cable It says Microphone cable balanced.
For the DXR 8's I ordered fro Amazon with also and XLR to TRs connector and on the side It says audio cable balanced.
I have been reading you can do damamage to your equipment by putting wrong leads In.
Can you advise me what to do here as the guy from gear for music said microphone cable is ok .
So what about the XLR audio cable to Trs coming friday.

No problem John....connect the TRS jack end to the Focusrite outputs then connect the XLR end to "INPUT 1" on the DXRs also you will see a switch to the right of the "THRO OUTPUT" just under the point you have connected into "INPUT 1 XLR" put that switch to "LINE" and that should be you connected and correct ....see image..

I have been doing some research and It states that Microphone XLR cable is ok for the studio monitor side. It Is Balanced cable
Now seeing that you can plug a XLR to TRS into the Yamaha Powers DXR 8 speakers at the back , It looks like If It Is Mic/ line then can It be both Mic/ Audio cable?? or is it best to stick to Mic cable to TRS Balanced cable..??
From amazon It will be audio XLR to TRS. I am now wondering If that should be balanced Mic cable.
The one arriving Friday will be XLR to TRS instrument Cable. I think that is the term.

It says If you use wrong cable for wrong things, damage can be caused to equipment. Just a little concerned about using mic or audio cable with XLR To TRS and jack To jack. the difference is supposed to shielding etc ,I'm not an electrical minded sort.

I think they could be talking about applications where phantom power is in use... what we are trying to do is no different to me plugging my keyboad which has balanced output like your Focusrite into a pair of yamaha DSR directly as I do some times using the XLR... you JUST need to toggle the switch to "LINE"....

So consider your Focusrite outputs the same as a mixing console outputs....No problem

ugawoga · « **Reply #93 on:** September 04, 2018, 01:24:19 PM »

Hi Tommy
It does say that you plug mixers or mics into Input 1 and Keyboards and guitars Into Input 2. What difference that makes ,I do not know.
So from Focusrite changes it basically to a mixer. Ok that one Is solved.
Is that because it comes from a balance scource??

The other thing I am trying to get my head around is what difference does an audio XLR to TRS as opposed to XLR to TRS MIcrophone cable.

So In a nutshell, Microphone XLR cable and stereo jack to jack microphone cable Is OK and no problem??

Is that the same for the DXR8's or do you think that the XLR to TRS audio cable Is fine to plug Into the mic/line of the DXR*'s
Or put In the Microphone XLR to TRS cable in??

Input 2 are not balanced and generally in the past and sometime still now keyboards are not balanced but your Focusrite is balanced so using the line level switch engaged you can take advantage of having and using a balanced audio signal

Hi Tommy
Just rang gear for music and an Indian guy on the other end
He said It should be ok but not sure drop us an email.
The retailers do not know what they are talking about, only interested In selling.
I was fuming with the treatment of these guys.
I ask to talk to someone who knows what i am on about and got told email us BAH!! Some after service.

Just this moment rang Yamaha UK and said I owned the Dxr8's and Genos and the guy was happy to talk to me
He has a studio and told me the cableing is fine .

I think that the cable from Amazon stating it is XLR to TRS balanced audio ,means that It is the same as Microphone cable because they are balance cables.
Normally audio cables are not balanced .I think that is right,I hope.
If not I could order another XLR to TRS Mic cable from Gear for Music.
Sorry to annoy you with this but I have to get this Into my head.
I will look at some sound proofing after I get fixed up.
Thanks for all your help Tommy, much appreciated.
I need a cup of coffee fix now!!
