Thank you for the feedback. That should do just fine and help keep my active tweeter safe at night... A 50V would probably be okay, as I am running it off a 100(8ohm)/200(4ohm) channel. The tweeter is 4ohm, hence the 100V is preferred.

Hi, As per title, I am looking to buy an electrolytic capacitor that is 50uf 100V bi-polar/non polarized. Tried google and not finding exactly what I need/want locally. Lots of aliexpress, ebay options. Any comments or suggestions where to check in Cape Town? Thanks.

Hi All, Looking to get a Grandview Cyber 16:9 motorized screen (Cape Town). Anyone have any contacts or recommendations for a good deal? Thanks.

I am busy with my DIY 9.x.4 room and my Atmos will be 2 pairs of 8 inch drivers as well. I read through various online feedback as well as the 60 page Dolby 2018 guide. I also watched a bunch of videos from installers and reviewers on this very topic. FYI - I am building 20L angled boxes for my...

Looking for a supplier of MDF in the light / Ultra light category based in Cape Town. Any ideas/suggestions ? Thanks

You probably have duplicate addresses or incorrect subnet masks assigned. Try do the following. On your Router have it be a DHCP server but have the range say start around 100. Eg - DHCP range is 192.168.1.x x is normally a value between 1 and 254. Set it to 100 for your use case. This will...

I have watched more than a healthy amount of Vincent's videos and he is pretty darn clued up with regards to video. Really nice report on the TV shoot out that happened recently (18 Aug 2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj_oR91s1BU His cadence can be a bit slow but easily watchable at 1.25...

I totally get the idea of reducing admin but having everyone post stuff in a single forum could greatly add clutter and make it more challenging to sell items. I agree change is needed but I think more good can be done with better structure versus collapsing everything into one. Since comics...

Looks like the emerging trend moving forward is clearly 9.1.6... if Dolby have anything to say about it. https://www.dolby.com/us/en/guide/speaker-setup-guides/9.1.6-overhead-speaker-setup-guide.html Still really expensive to decode (+-$5000 USD) though https://emotiva.com/products/rmc-1 (With...

I figured I would put some stuff together while waiting for my change window. Don't take this as gospel but a high level summary. Hopefully it will be of some value. Sound Formats Dolby Labs Older formats - Dolby Digital (5.1) Newer formats - Dolby True HD (7.1) - Dolby Atmos (5.1.x /...

Thanks guys. Alarmtec seems to edge out Communica on a few of my wish list items.

Hi, Well we finally moving into our new place next month and although renovations will take several months I need to install a new alarm system. I currently have a Paradox MG5050 system with +-20 zones that I programmed with Babyware and Winload. This will be staying behind in the house as we...

Delay in the transfer. I had to get attorney's involved in that the current owners were trying to get away with something that was not cool. Waiting for the updated and signed documentation from their lawyers. It will be a while before we move in and complete the renovations. Right now I am...

So for the longest time I ran a full 6.1 setup (including two floorstanders) off my AZ2 without any problems. The speakers where KEF and all had a claimed 91db sensitivity. Yamaha back then claimed 130W for 6 channels (20hz-20Khz 8ohm 0.02% THD). I have a in depth review of that unit and they...

Difficult question as so many variables.... Based on what the market dictates, technology updates, seller attached value, condition, original box the price can vary quite a bit but I would guess something along these lines. 3050 - +- 19000 3060 - +- 24000 3070 - +- 29000 3080 - Current Open...

Hello, I am planning on building a retro arcade cabinet over the December holidays (time permitting). I have done some drawings in Visio and saved them in DXF format. I plan on going through to Davidson in Ottery (CPT) to have them cut it out of 18mm board. Is there someone that can please...

It would depending on the room layout. Where you plan on putting furniture and the door to the room. Laying 25mm PVC for the speakers and 30/40mm for the projector HDMI cable is nothing compared to the the other elements involved. I would try and go for a 7.x setup now, especially if you have...

I too tried to stay fairly close to the Dolby and DTS recommendations. Have read so much that there is often conflicting info and some things are open to interpretation. In the end do what works for you. I will probably lay PVC ducting for what is most likely going to be the next 'thing'...

I already have a pair of DIYSG Volt8 and will be getting another pair. They have a pretty good dispersion within the 0-60 degree range. I am not sure of the height between the slab and the plasterboard so hoping they fit. If I cannot install a custom angled box, then will run them as IB. Good...

Going to be moving to a new house and will be going with a Atmos setup. Based on the literature that I have read I have come up with this design What concerns me is that based on text book angles the Atmos rear speakers will be quite far back. I normally would have put them at a 1/4...
