FAQ
Q) Why are there comments from a week ago when this video has just gone live today?
A) Patrons usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version.

Im not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination, I don’t even own a hifi but been subscribed for years now and always look forward to these videos! I think they bring back some kind of nostalgia from when I worked as a Saturday boy in Dixon’s UK in the late 80’s and my delight at seeing all the new tech come out every year. Remembering all the buyers who cancelled and left their Casio handheld TV purchases at the till when we asked them for their address for the tv licence lol. Or groaning at the old dears buying a 79p plug and holding up the long queue as we had to stand their and wire it on to their purchased appliance. The best seller I can remember? A talking video recorder which talked you through the programming of recordings. I think it was Dixon’s own Saisho brand. Flew off the shelves one Christmas! Anyway! Thanks for all your Awesome videos! Love the content! Thrilled for you and your subscriber count! Great job! 👍🏻

We used to sell ordinary TVs at the major supermarket I worked at between 2000 and 2012, and we'd have to get the TV licence book of forms out each time we sold one. Almost every time the customer would either point blank refuse to fill out the form, or would fill out a form in the name of Mickey Mouse or something.

Matt, I bought the very first audio visualizer you've ever demonstrated (the bare PCB, if you recall) many years ago and loved it ever since. I opted for the red LEDs because, as you said, it gives this nice "fireplace-like" flickering effect in the dark. As of right now, it still works perfectly but if the RTA-31 ever comes up with orange or red LEDs, I'm in (again!) Your recommendations are awesome, keep on going!

I put one of these DB displays on our Hospital Radio station in the output rack and it is great for reassuring people that we are actually transmitting. A few caveats though. The first one we got packed up within a couple of months so we had to send it back (not bought from Thomann). Secondly those presets on the front are a clue that this thing is not calibrated which is a bit of a shame. I had to set them using a proper dB meter and will put a bit of silicone compound on them to stop them moving (or people fiddling). Finally I have no idea what the weighting is on the response but it is certainly not standard VU as it bounces much too much. But overall, hey, it is great for what we got it for.

@@renowden2010 well, thats not entirely what I was asking about. It has unbalanced rca in/outputs as well as xlr in/outputs. Can you use an xlr input and rca output? are the xlr and rca output active at the same time? do they affect eachother? does it use a proper balancing transformer for that? I understand it still passes through the audio when powered off, which is nice, but I'd like it to double as a way to receive a balanced signal on its inputs, and output on its rca socket (level is of no concern here, what comes after it is fine with +4db) Oh well, I guess I'll see soon enough. Expecting to get the vu meter at least somewhere early next week.

After watching your review on the RTA-31, I decided to pull the trigger and buy one. It took quite a while to get one since they were back ordered, but I am quite pleased with the unit. It is sensitive enough for my rack which has an EQ with a spectrum analyzer in front of it. I didn't like the EQ analyzer because it was micro LEDs and really sensitive. It was always peaked. I really preferred the bar type, even if they are LED vs vacuum florescent. Great piece of gear for visual and thanks for the review.

Yep, unfortunately, the import duties that will now be added have likely rendered shopping with Thomann much less value for money for customers in the UK. I'm so sad about it as I have bought lots and lots of things from them over the years. For example, an item that used to cost £50 (including delivery) will be more like £90 now.

@@JTThumpington Thomann prices for the UK are now displayed excluding vat. Their packages under £135 incur a delivery charge but shouldn't attract a fee at import. Any Thomann deliveries over 31kg now have shipping quoted on an individual basis. UK registered suppliers that now might be more useful include dv247, bax and gear4music

@@dg2908 Oh well maybe all is not lost then. I thought Bax was based in The Netherlands really. I think they have a warehouse in the UK though, so maybe that will help. I would still like to shop with Thomann as I've enjoyed a very good experience with them overall, so yeah, I'll have to see how the new arrangements work out. 🙂

Yet another good video mate. Reminded me of my "stereo systems" as we called them back in the late 70's and 80's. The last best stereo I owned was the Aiwa Rack system LX etc circa 1985 bought whilst stationed in Tokyo through the 80's. Solid metal construction, each component sat on top of the next right up from the dual cassette player to the turntable. Not much of a "light show" but I hooked a Yamaha graphic equalizer up to it just for the light show. lol.

I had a Spectrum Analyser back in the late 80's that pretty much looked just like the one shown here. Damn, That thing was awesome and it worked for about 14 years before it wore out and quit. I'm going to go and order one of these from Thowmann's right now!!

Well, this got me. I placed my order today for the RTA-31, via their site. It felt good purchasing direct, and bypassing Amazon & eBay/Paypal for a change. On a side note, make sure you select credit card, or paypal when placing your order. The defaulted (in my case) bank transfer payment option (which I thought would proceed to a CC entry page), was going to run me an extra $50 via my bank's fees, and included an hour long wait for a phone call-back (just to find that out), as well. I ended up ordering a second time with my CC, and they put 2+2 together automatically; putting my initial order number to the credit card order, clearing things up nicely without my needing to do a thing. Smart folks over there!

My gear rack is 100% all business and sounds like it but it lacks a bit of flare. After some googling, I found the BDS PP31 but was apprehensive about an unknown/unavailable in the US product. After watching this video I decided to go ahead and order one. AliExpress is the only supplier I could find that shipped here. In just 2 days it is already in customs and should be here in a fortnight. I am pleasantly surprised at their expediency! Amazed really. I ordered the blue to match my set of peavey IPR2’s. I can’t wait for my new toy! I love what you do and like you, I believe music should be seen as well as heard
