    • While there are other ways to accomplish this I’m going to suggest the following to minimize any mistakes or possible equipment issues.   * Important Note*: First it is absolutely not necessary to change any DSP settings to perform this test as described except when needing to adjust the DSP Output Level for amplifier gain matching later if needed.   Note (1): This method is using only one of the DSP LF Output Channels for a reference testing signal. Note (2): Both amplifiers will be connected to a UJ LF Horn during their individual measurement testing. Note (3): Any amplifiers with Input Gain Controls or amplifiers with Output Transformer Impedance Taps like on tube amplifier’s or McIntosh SS amplifiers *will require new measurements if any change is made later to them* in order to achieve proper amplifier level matching.       (1) Use REW to generate a 500Hz test signal. FYI: My understanding is the acoustical crossover of the UJ is 500Hz in any Passive or DSP implementation by Roy.   (2) “Use only one of the (DSP LF Channel Output)” as your reference signal source for the amplifiers under test.   (3)  Connect the (DSP LF Channel Output used for reference) to -> [Amplifier (A)]’s Input and adjust the 500Hz test signal volume to a comfortable level and then measure [Amplifier (A)]’s “AC Output Voltage Value” and note it down for later reference comparison. *IMPORTANT NOTE*: “Do Not” change the 500Hz test signal level after this because it is now our established reference signal test level.   (4) Now Connect the (DSP LF Channel Output used for reference) to -> [Amplifier (B)]’s Input and then measure [Amplifier (B)]’s Output AC Voltage and adjust { [Amplifier (B)]’s gain control if available} or the DSP Output Gain Level to achieve a “AC Output Voltage Value” to match with [Amplifier (A)]’s reference value reading. If using the DSP Output Gain Level for compensation the dB Level needed for matching will be the value you will need to use in the DSP Channels that this amplifier will be used with.   For example if Roy’s UJ programs requires the following when using matching amplifiers. DSP LF Channel Level = 0db DSP HF Channel Level = -3db   Now after testing we discover that [Amplifier (B)] required the DSP Output Gain to be adjusted to (-7db) to match [Amplifier (A)] test levels then this will need to be added to Roy’s program value and the change implemented in the channels using [Amplifier (B)] to maintain Roy’s program balance for the UJ’s LF Horn and HF Horn.   ie: If [Amplifier (B)] is used for the LF Channels then the DSP LF Channel Program Level will change to: (0dB)+(-7dB) = (-7dB)  ie: If [Amplifier (B)] is used for the HF Channels then the DSP HF Channel Program Level will change to:  (-3dB)+(-7dB) = (-10dB)     miketn    
    • We had folks with Baptist relief missions here within two days. I believe FEMA had some administrative staff showing relatively early but didn’t start operations at that point in time.   Some friends of ours that live outside of town had bags of food delivered by some marines and or national guard folks, I don’t know if that was coordinated by FEMA or not.   the vast majority of road clearing was done by private folks with chainsaws and farming equipment. our local LEO and FD have done a good job of coordinating with legitimate volunteer orgs and other rescue teams from out of state.   Our parish in Linville has been able to receive helicopter drops with a ton of donations and we are working to get those distributed to the parishioners and neighbors that need them here in Spruce Pine and the surrounding areas. They were also able to set up a medical clinic today for doctors visits and some medication prescription options for those that need it. https://www.stlucienbernadette.org/   We got our power back today. No word on water and sewer.   So far I’ve received word of two friends/acquaintances that were killed in the flooding and that number is probably going to rise as time goes on.   Still lots of work to be done cleaning up the town and rebuilding the infrastructure.
    • Sometimes that can be  GOOD thang!  😂
    • Alchemy: Dire Straits Live is the first live album by the British rock band Dire Straits, released on 16 March 1984[3] by Vertigo Records internationally, and by Warner Bros. Records in the United States. Recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on 22–23 July 1983, the double album features songs from the band's first four albums, the ExtendedancEPlay EP and Mark Knopfler's Local Hero soundtrack. Many of the songs have reworked arrangements and extended instrumental segments. The album cover is taken from a painting by Brett Whiteley.   Alchemy: Dire Straits Live was recorded live at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on 22–23 July 1983, the final two concerts of Dire Straits' eight-month Love Over Gold Tour promoting their album Love Over Gold. The concerts were recorded by Mick McKenna using the Rolling Stones Mobile unit.   
    • Pyromania is the third studio album by English rock band Def Leppard, released on 20 January 1983[2] through Vertigo Records in UK and Europe and through Mercury Records in the US. The first album to feature guitarist Phil Collen who replaced founding member Pete Willis, Pyromania was produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange. The album was a shift away from the band's traditional heavy metal roots toward a more radio-friendly sound, finding massive mainstream success. Pyromania charted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200,[3] No. 4 on the Canadian RPM Album chart and No. 18 on the UK Albums Chart.[4] Selling over ten million copies in the US, it has been certified diamond by the RIAA.   The album can be seen as a transitional one between the heavy metal sound of Leppard's first two albums and the radio-friendly direction of later releases.[10] It featured rockers such as "Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)", "Stagefright" and "Die Hard the Hunter" as well as the Top 40 hits "Photograph", "Rock of Ages" and "Foolin'".    
    • Machine Head is the sixth studio album by English rock band Deep Purple. It was recorded in December 1971 in Montreux, Switzerland, and released on 30 March 1972, by Purple Records. It is the band's third album to feature the Mark II line-up of Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice. Previous recording sessions had been slotted into the group's gigging schedule. This time, Deep Purple wanted to dedicate time to record an album away from the typical studio environment, hoping it would result in a sound closer to their live shows. They used the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio for recording and block-booked the Montreux Casino as a venue, but during a Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention concert immediately before the sessions, the casino burned to the ground after an audience member fired a flare gun into the ceiling. After a week of searching for an alternative venue, including a session at a nearby theatre that was abandoned due to noise complaints, the band managed to book the Grand Hotel, closed for the winter, and converted it into a live room suitable for recording. These events, particularly the casino fire, became the inspiration for the song "Smoke on the Water". Machine Head became Deep Purple's most commercially successful album, topping the charts in several countries, including the UK. Influential in the development of heavy metal, it continues to be viewed favourably by music critics and has been reissued several times.     Just for you @JohnJ.  😂
    • Took a lil ride yesterday while watchin footie.  Rough day for sure!      Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album (though counted as the twelfth official album) recorded by The Beatles. It was released in September 1969. Side one consisted of hits, while side two consisted of short songs to make up a story.     Them Changes is an album by American artist Buddy Miles, released in June 1970. It reached number 8 on the 1970 Jazz Albums chart, number 35 on the Billboard 200 and number 14 on the 1971 R&B albums charts.   Writing for Allmusic, music critic Steve Kurutz called the album "quite simply, one of the great lost treasures of soul inspired rock music... definitely worth the extra effort to try to locate."[1] Conversely, Robert Christgau wrote "His singing is too thin to carry two consecutive cuts, his drumming has to be exploited by subtler musicians, and the title cut is the only decent song he ever wrote.
