Title: My Rack is Filling Out Post by: ka4koe on March 10, 2014, 09:41:16 AM As you can see by the attached photo, my rack is filling out and will soon reach the limits of its current confines.
Top to bottom--- HP 5326B Nixie tube freek counter BC348N Wells Gardner WW2 receiver Collins R388/URR Yaesu FT897D Behringer K450FX 40 watt keyboard amp (I am a musician). Off to the right but not visible in the rack photo is a Johnson Valiant that is giving me fits. The audio from the old receivers sounds wonderful going thru the big keyboard amplifier. Since I obtained a Fender KXR100 with spring reverb, I hardly ever use the Behringer for music anymore.

Looks good, but...... I think you're cheeting with the Behringer in the bottom. Its like you will suffer from gynecomastia.... .. klc Title: Re: My Rack is Filling Out Post by: Opcom on March 11, 2014, 03:06:32 AM Good going! Looks like a lot of fun. I prefer the speaker on the top of the rack because it seems like the sound is clearer, but everyone's different.
Title: Re: My Rack is Filling Out Post by: ka4koe on March 11, 2014, 07:48:23 AM The Behringer K450FX Ultratone (what a name!) has a built in 5 band equalizer. One can tailor the audio to fit conditions. On the bottom the equalizer is readily accessible for on the fly adjustments.

Behringer is the "MFJ" of audio equipment...cheap and works some of the time. Title: Re: My Rack is Filling Out Post by: Opcom on March 12, 2014, 12:43:58 AM That explains the 1600 compressor I have. Books says it has a clipper. The clipper is just a strict peak-operated compressor. lowers the peaks -and- the other stuff. Not a clipper.

However, a powered speaker with those controls seems like a nice thing to have when the going is rough. |
