There are many audio over network formats used for pro audio. Some are Ethernet compatible, some are not. AES50 is a layer 1 and does not use the Ethernet frame structure. Latency added by switches and such once a signal is digital tends to be very low The issue is in the conversion from analog to digital and back to analog where conversions to and from more complex layer 2 and 3 Ethernet adds more latency than converting to and from layer 1. The issue is that later 1, while having very low latency conversions, also does not have all the the features and compatibilities and protections of the higher levels en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_audio_network_protocols

@@DaveRat thanks mr Dave, i understand... i did not expect that plethora of protocols :)

👍🤙🤙 cool cool and I like hearing and exploring all perspectives

Total harmonic distortion is useful and important for low volume and mid volume and anything that isn't driving an amp really hard. Once you get into clipping your total harmonic distortion goes through the roof. This test is all about seeing which amp can deliver more power before it goes into massive distortion IE clipping. As far as Fidelity and listenability and other aspects those will vary greatly for manufacture to manufacture as well. This test was more answering the question " doesn't app need to be big or heavy in order to be loud and deliver more power?" Kind of like taking two different cars to the drag strip to see which one has better acceleration and top speed is what this test is about. A total harmonic distortion test is more like a test of which amp has a smoother ride.

@@DaveRat Hi Dave.. I would suggest that THD is very important especially at high volumes. Yes clipping is overdriving the amp (well the power supply) but If THD is high then all you are doing is amplifying the distortion along with the signal. BUT..... of course speaker distortion will eclipse THD from any amp so perhaps it's an academic discussion at best. As you know I am old school... for me an amplifier should be rated at rated RMS, 8 ohms 20-20K and as low THD as possible. Now i know current music as a much higher sub 20cps component which is the domain of Subs. The issue of "head room" or peak output is really a function of Power supply to the output chip set. Not enough power and the system will clip and loose frequency response. Your demonstrations and testing are always right on, so don't take my comments as discounting your methods...Just looking to have the conversation.. Thanks

I try and test the things that are not readily available in the spec sheets. I believe the THD of the amps I tested is spec'ed either the same or nearly the same. And since they are trusted manufacturers we don't have any reason to believe their specs are not accurate or close to accurate. THD is a widely used and pretty universally standardized spec. For those kinds of tests there are other people out there, My adventures are about finding the hidden things and misunderstood aspects and audio Gremlins that people tend to overlook

@@DaveRat and you do a great job !

And thank you! I appreciate your input and perspective. Very important to me. Please always let me know what cha think

👍👍👍🤙

Spicoli!!

Thank you Tony!!

Yes, the ground sort of doubles the vertical so the vertical line plus ground creates a very long line and the longer the line, the more constant the coverage level over distance

🤙👍🤙

Awesome and thank you

And also, gentle overload is what's usually liked. I did massive overload so all could really hear it

Never underestimate the creativity and ability to figure out how to make things sound bad that humans can come up with

All the SoundTools analog over cat products will run com over cat. I did a video where I run a mic, AES, line level and clearcom down a single ct5e simultaneously. As long as it's 3 pin com and it uses pin 1 as common/ground, it will work. Must be shielded cat cable If you are having issues maybe join the channel members Telegram channel. There is a link in the members dashboard Or call sound tools and will help ya

Wow and thank you Mathew!! Big smile and appreciated

Depends on the console. Some consoles have the brains inside the surface, some have the brains in external racks and the surface is a remote

So cool thank you!

Interesting! Maybe a bit of clarification in that audio does not step down voltage and up current per se, but rather things like mics are typically already low voltage higher current right off the voice coil. I will think on this further but off the top of my head I would say the power transmission is driven by minimizing loss and the goal is to transmit max watts. For audio the driving factor is optimizing frequency response, minimizing HF loss and with the exception of post power ams, loss of voltage or watts is not a significant concern. Losing 1/2 the power of an audio signal is no big deal as long as we stay above the noise floor. So... For audio signals, low impedance is critical. Our enemy is capacitance. For power generation higher impedances rolling off high frequencies I advantageous as it helps filter noise. So narrowing it down, audio wants low impedance which is a high current low voltage scenario compared tolong distance power generation, high impedance low current is optimal. But,,, audio does use the power generation concept for 70 volt lines, where we do exactly the same thing as power, transform up to high voltage and transform back down at the speaker. But it does not sound great So from that perspective, if transmission of power is the goal, high voltage low current If transmission of accurate wide bandwidth signal is the primary goal, then lower impedances are preferred, which ruslts in higher currents and lower voltage, Great question and will ponder and simplify

I don't understand

That's how I like to mix and when mixing went digital, I stayed analog until finally I quit touring rather than switch

@DaveRat Weirdly enough, because I am on the gulf coast, I switched to an XR18 and a pad because it is more reliable around here than potentiometers. But I never kid myself about the sound. Is it good enough? Yes, but does it sound and feel as good? Nope l. But the reliability is fantastic. Just what I didn't expect.

@peteleoni9665 cool and interesting.

Thank you!!!!

May e check out this vid where I go into more depth and use the final production cable. It still has extensions but hits 140. Mathematically and measurement wise, the cat6 couplers only cost about .4% in length or so. So maybe 1.4 meters of length lost per coupler. In this other vid I do ESD test and test with a cable certification tester as well www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DbQXOXWuxCGA&ved=2ahUKEwidk9P6s-2GAxXeKUQIHVdrCLQQwqsBegQIExAG&usg=AOvVaw1jPWndJ3Pd7YiV1eWA8rlw

Oh nice I'll check thst out for sure!

👍🤙👍

Thank you Nicholas!

Super cool and thank you!

Having ambience mics of the musicians can hear the audience is desirable by many bands. As far as polarity reverse, that could reduce some low-end content and it's worth giving a listen to and see whether in polarity or out of polarity is preferred or sounds better.

I do love analog. Just like I like snowboarding and mountain bike riding more than playing video games

@@DaveRat Haaaaa yah Bro me too

👍🤙👍

Wonderful and thank you!

I have not. My goal here was to solve the issue where the most popular in the world Midas/Behringer consoles/stage boxes can be connected together without issues. Many people were having issues with longer cable lengths so I set out to solve it. Adding dongles or conversions or other gear other than just plugging a cable directly in the back of the products is not a solution, but rather, a workaround.

It seems to be several things going on. Maybe take a look at this other video I did and let me know what you think. I go into much more depth and testing. ua-cam.com/video/bQXOXWuxCGA/v-deo.htmlsi=46Ma4RwH4BCSfF0e

Hmmm, ABS smells kind of bad and makes a bunch of non recyclable plastic mess when I cut it up on the CNC machine. Also the laser etch gets all mucky and melty and is hard to read unless if I buy layered ABS. Baltic Birch wood cuts well and with a light coat of paint, the laser etch is clear and clean. I prefer to work with wood over plastic whenever possible. Could 3D print it as well but that is slow and and super time consuming. I can cut like 20 or more of these all at once on the CNC

👍👍👍😁😁😁

Fun and thank you!!

Yes, DC resistance will rise with temperature. Maybe check out this vid for a more in depth test adventure. Temp differentials and degradation over time are a few reasons you want a cable to be stable well beyond the lengths used. ua-cam.com/video/bQXOXWuxCGA/v-deo.htmlsi=jZUCL5w71w4gkOAo

Super cool and great perspective

We are talking about the Cat 6A correct?

Yes it's a Cat6a cable and we only make it in red currently.
