Chris, as long as we're talking about your car -- I'm wiring audio connectors.  The mic has two wires and the XLR, to which I've gotta connect the mic, has three.  Hot or ground to pin 2?  What about 1 & 3?  I'm cornfused.  Please help.

First question is, why are you using a hi z mic?  Don't make the cable too long, especially around engines with copper core cables.

Normal balanced XLR (cannon) is

1 - shield
2 - hot, or +
3 - cold, or -

And that's not what you're doing.

Sounds like you're using coaxial cable, so -

XLR pin 2 to hot (center)
XLR pins 1 and 3 to shield.

And this may pertain to my car.  The crank trigger sensor is a balanced cable - I'm thinking of installing an XLR mic connector to it, and a military grade, explosion proof XLR male jack in the firewall.  Makes pulling the engine a lot easier.

Okay, let's talk about the preamps in the Tele Elites . . .

Doc, stop that - I'm trying to mop up the drool off of my keyboard! 

Okay, I can salvage this one -

Now for a musical segue back to the car with the A MINOR block.

Picked up a knock sensor tonight, and got great service from the boys at NAPA auto parts (again - and as always).  I think they like the fact that I'm not working on a ratted out Delta 88, and actually ask questions that send them to the books, rather than the computer.

Of course, tying this whole sequence together is the fact that a knock sensor is, for all intents and purposes, a microphone.

There - a nice, neat package.

JRC op amps are the cheapest stuff you can get. On the other hand, an OPA827 is the sweetest.

You going to be able to get all of this into the Midget?

[Milwaukee Midget]

Well, let's see -

A Musicman RD210, a couple of Telecasters, a fist full of OP Amps, my drummer, the PA, a pair of Klipsch La Scalas, the audio interface for the Landracing.com webcast - as long as I don't have to drive it, I'm golden.

  Anyone taking parts from a Hammond B3 should be skinned at Sundown.
 I used to have a pair of JBL 14" studio monitors which would blow out wooden match's.  Why the match's were lit is another story............
 Now listening to a pair of Klipsch Folded Horns with a old Sansui 5000X........  and working on the race car........

I used to hate doing guitar parts with headphones on so I was always a fan of BIG monitors in the control room, it meant you could get feedback assisted sustain ....so there I was once standing on a table, with some humoungous JBL twins absolutely blasting, like way above normal stage volume.........it goes quiet, I turn around and the engineer is explaining to the people who were trying to finish some mastering next door what was so important about the close coupling of the guitar and monitor.....

I'm thinking about the race car right now....

hurry up and get yr car sorted Christophel

Bob, Hammonds are like beautiful old girlfriends.  You get one, you show her off to your friends, but they're just too much maintenance.  Then you dump her.  A few years later, another one pops up, you fall in love, you take her home, wash-rinse-repeat.  I've been through 6.

Okay, Okay - from here on out, the only audio talk will be that of open headers and unrestricted intakes.

Maybe there's an iphone app for it

NACA air inlet source found - check   We are considering them too for fresh air in our Urban LSR car - last year we had 2" pop-out vents used on airplanes like a Piper Cub etc.
Thanks Chris

NACA duct sent. Glad to help the class. 

Chris, Glad you are working up speed.  Did I read you were going to the strip to test.  And the results?

Hey, Geo -

Well, I can't test until my CRANK shows up.  I'm watching my timeline evaporate faster than the water on the flats.

Yes, as soon as it's up and running, I'm planning a "tune and test" night at "Broadway Bob's" Great Lakes Dragway.  It should actually be rather quick - I'm packing 4:22's in the pumpkin, but I'm planning on seeing how hard it's pulling in 3rd, and looking for some decent trap speeds - something to baseline this thing with.

By the way, I got the motor mount issue handled  2 - 5/16 grade 8 bolts per side, through the mounts and the brackets.  They're not budging this year.

And GO, GRANITE FALLS!
