New Midas - M32R

It's a feature - any fader moved by external force (linked fader, software program, encoder) will not physically go lower than -58dB, while the value of the actual fader does. It has been described by Midas as feature that helps to prolong fader life. Way overdone imho, but doesn't affect my workflow, just feels sloppy.

Ah so this is also a "feature" of the full M32 as well!?

Is it a feature of the fader you do not pull down - e.g. if ch 1& 2 linked (paired) and pull down ch 1 fader then ch 2 fader stops at -58db. But if you pulled down ch 2 fader then ch 1 would stop at -58bd.

If you raise the pair up to max - do they both travel to the "top" or does the one you are not physically controlling stop short?!

(could it be hang-over from controlling "grouping" channels - to stop members of the group hitting the bottom - if a higher setting member of the group is pulled down to cause other relative members to hit the bottom of the fader travel- assuming this was the case btw!).

Dear Nick,

I spoke with our development team and this is a minor issue that will be fixed in a future firmware update. Hope this helps.

( I really doubt it - but would like to think this has been posted in response to my email to Care earlier today to say the uncertainty as to whether a fault or a "feature" was putting myself and possibly others off going for an M32r!!!):D~:-D~:grin:

While I've hot wired a lamp to run off of phantom power, I certainly wouldn't ever do it again.

Why not? Re-wiring is of course one thing, but I thought some lamps with XLR connector are meant to work off the phantom power.

This one seems to have external power supply and XLR socket is just a way to attatch the lamp.

I wouldn't ever do it again because hot wiring a little lite destroys it. I could, however conceive an external adaptor to take phantom voltage down to 12v for the little lite.

Yep, if you can deal with the external supply it will work with any female XLR on your mixer (orientation does not matter according to Littlite), I think this is the option I'm going to go for with my M32R, one in the talkback and if that is not enough light, a second on the first XLR input.
