4K,6K,8K Series / Re: VU meter LED bulbs

Thanks, thats great!
There are also led light bulbs wich can handle up to 30vdc out of the box.
Does the resistor get hit?

4K,6K,8K Series / Dc offset pop sound on solo buttons and Console status buttons
« Last post by tlmaen on March 28, 2024, 02:24:52 PM »
Hi,
when i press any solo button on my 4ke console, I get an almost fullscales dc sounding pop.
Its really annoying, specially with clients attending.
When one solo button is pressed, pressing another solo doesnt make any additional sound.
Also when i change the status of the console it makes the same loud sound.
Is there anywhere to start looking?
(All of the center section cards are completely recapped).
I figured out that there is a cut bus, but that seems to be a logic thing.
Tried to identify the Pfl/Afl bus in the service manual, but that doesn’t shed any light in to it…

Thanks for your help!
Happy eastern  :)

4K,6K,8K Series / VU meter LED bulbs

Hi,

I found the easiest and cheapest way to replace original VU meter lamps with festoon LED lamps. I would want to share with all of you!

12V cheap 36mm long led lamps covered with yellow heat shrink and 470ohm resistors before ande after the lamp holders.

No issues after installed since 15 days ago.

4K,6K,8K Series / Re: VCA Card recapping trouble
« Last post by horizonsound on March 19, 2024, 08:32:34 PM »
The E13 VCA cards have some of the greatest failure rates of all the cards. Usually due to corroded traces, and given the age of your console, it would be common.
The corrosion can also affect surrounding components.
I have repaired many cracked solder joints as well, which can only be seen under a microscope. These cards generate a lot of heat with the VCA module.

4K,6K,8K Series / VCA Card recapping trouble
« Last post by tlmaen on March 19, 2024, 05:30:00 PM »
Hi,
I recently recapped all of the VCA Cards and changed C9 from 10uf to 100uf.
After I did all of the Channels, about 10 cards stopped working or behaved very strange.
(The are distorted or have no signal alt all or have full signal without a chance to level it...)
I quadruple checked the values and orientation of the Caps.
Also checked and measured the traces. I sometimes soldered the caps on both sides of the Board.
I am quite experienced with recapping and soldering, but this time I have no clue...
Could it be the ICs on the Board? Or the VCA Itself?
Is there any place to start for trouble shooting?
I am lost right now...

Thanks,
Tilmann

4K,6K,8K Series / Re: Adding aux
« Last post by horizonsound on March 19, 2024, 03:53:24 AM »
Yes, the install of this cues mix system is very complex.
It took a tap off the Cue 4 - pre fader, and sent it via a additional buffer board on each channel, to U9 of the edge connector.
All back planes had an additional flying BICC connector to then carry the signal to the cues matric mixer. From the cues mixer it went to a modified SL652G split cues box.

You would be looking at a minimum USD$8000 to get this setup for a 48 channel console, and that is a low end estimate for an additional 4x cues only..

Thanks Anthony.
That's gorgious !!!!
But I think it will be far cheaper for me to do a custom mod on my console (I found where to take the signal pre and post) to add 8 or 12 stereo aux with 2 mono talk back channels (one from control room, one from studio TB mics), one stereo return for tracking reverb and one stereo return for mix to can with a priority to mute aux sends (but let talkbacks) while listenning mix to can.
What is your price, just for curiosity ?

Would adding a split cues system work for you?

This puts 1-4 aux sends on the left of the console, and makes the right of the console 5-8.

Alternatively, I have a cues matrix system here which adds up to 8 additional cue sends, for a total of 12 cue sends. It was from a live TV studio, on a 6088G console.

It requires considerable modification to each channel, and the back planes.
