Lab Series Guitar Amplifiers

I use it for guitar amplifiers and home appliances - have been working great.

Using it for guitar but appears to suit small amplifiers well.

I bought to of these to run as a stereo pair for guitar amplifiers in a live environment. They are terrific! They handle whatever two 100 watt amps can throw at them and do not color the sound in any sort of negative manner. They definitely let the amps tone shine right through. I went from two classic Sm57s to these and I just notice more clarity and detail than I did with the 57s. Mic placement is a breeze. I spent all of 5 minutes with a pre-recorded loop figuring out the most natural sound and its very easy to find the large sweetspot with these mics. Again, the 57 does not have a huge sweet spot.

Since obtaining this microphone, I have used it to mic up two different guitar amplifiers to good effect. Overall, the sound is warm and the bass response becomes more pronounced the closer it is placed to the grille cloth. Positioning the mic around six inches away produces a more balanced and useable sound IMHO. I have yet to try this mic with a Cloudlifter, which I believe should, when used in conjunction with the Fat Head II, yield a better, hotter signal.

I use the surge protector to power my guitar amplifiers and other accessories in my home recording studio. The long power cord affords me the ability to move the surge protector around the room without hassle. Lots of outlets and slim profile. Also a major plus is the low profile/right angle plug which fits flat against the wall allowing furniture to be pushed closer to the wall.

From a listening perspective, there is really no difference in the sound reproduction between the Crown XLS 1000 & 1002 series of power amplifiers ... both easily meeting an audiophile's criterion of a perfect amplifier ... a straight wire with gain. The most visible difference with the XLS 1002 Amp series is the symmetrical restyling of the front panel with a larger & brighter centrally-placed LCD display, clipping indicators & controls. The front air vents have also been re-positioned to provide more efficient cooling. Apart from a new pair of AUX connectors (for the sleep mode), the back panel's input/output connectors are unchanged. Not readily visible, but several enhancements have been made to the menu options. In addition to the older XLS 1000 menu options for configuring the amp outputs & cross-over frequencies, one can now ... select between an input sensitivity of 1.4 Volts (default) and 0.75 Volts, set a time-delay to put the LCD display to sleep, toggle on & off the blue front panel lights and the green signal level indicators, and lock the menu buttons. These are all nifty new enhancements, but one needs to bear in mind that there is no significant audible differences in the the sound performance between the two series of XLS Crown amplifiers ... both are amazing performers. A note to Canadian buyers ... due to some unspecified reason, B&H cannot ship any of the Crown XLS series of amplifiers to Canada. However one can order them online from a Canadian supplier, e.g., Axe Music Inc. or Moog Audio.

We try this Mogami Platinum Series Guitar Cable on two different guitar connected to Liquid Saffire 56. Sound quality was worth 10 stars but i give max 5 stars. I planing to buy one more.

I have used this combo with my PictureMate Charm personal photo lab for sometime. Never once, have I gotten a bad print. The ink, colors pop, the paper is simple the best matte paper on the market. I have used all of the available name brands paper and portable printers, and I have found there is none that comes close to the PictureMate charm and its ink/paper. The high gloss paper in the 200 series is great also, if you prefer a gloss finish. But for professional quality/luster, eye poping colors, semi sheen output, the Matte paper is simply the best. I am a avid user of epsons printers large and small. Their papers and inks are unrivaled. The Epson company just went away from the 200 series product portable lab  printers, for a new portable printer, that really isnt portable. Unlike the 200 series, which has a battery operation capability, the new printer does not.  I tried their new photo portable lab, and while it is good, it does not reach the level of the 200 series printers. Last month alone, I printed 3600 4X6 prints on my 225 charm, all without one failure or bad print. I never had a requirement to clean or adjust/align the printer heads either. Its so good, I havent used my large format printers for 4X6 in months.

We are using these cables to chain amplifiers together and they work great.

You cant do any better than this in a soft guitar case.� Love it! Purchased this to go along with my�Ibanez�PDR10NT PF Performance Series Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar, also purchased at B & H.� Ibanez makes the best starter guitars.� Beautiful sound, great play ability and made with quality materials, at a very fair price.
