BMX-II 14 just refurbed
|
|
Here is a rare BMX-II 14 mixing console. Note that the bullnose is narrow. This frame had Master faders on the Stereo Output modules. We removed them during the refurb. This console also has Pan pots on (5) of the Stereo Line input modules. This console has our 12-20R and 12-20Y LEDs to replace the Edison bulbs. For BMX-II's with bayonet VU lamps, #756, we installed some great LED replacements that look great and are bright enough. Let us refurb your tired BMX-II, III, AMX or RMX and make it new again. Call or e-mail us for a quote.

BMX-III/AMX Monitor Selector
|
|
Here is our final release of our replacement for the original mechanical switch selector. The 12 buttons are in a matrix to control the latch IC. The relays do the audio switching. The buttons have an LED indicator showing what stereo monitor input 1-12 is active. User selected power up jumpers allow the module to power up in any user selected position. Price is $325.00 per assembly. Field installable. We supply the 2 pin power cable. The installer connects this cable to the main PC board 12 Volt input. Instructions are included. We can also install this assembly here at MOORETRONIX. The old assembly can serve as a spare selector.

BMX-III/AMX Control Room DIM
|
|
We have noted that some of the Control Room modules we have worked on, have a stuffing error. Resistors R25 and R125 should be 68K. We have seen 6.8 K instead. The symtom is little dim or unequal dim due to one or both being the wrong value. The difference between a red and orange band on some resistors is hard to distinguish. Yes, this should have been caught in test.

New A/B switch assembly for BMX-II
|
|
Here is a photo of our new relay switch board for BMX-II. Two PC boards are required. The Master board with the logic fits into the B switch position. The Slave PC board fits into the A switch position. It so happens that the rectangular A & B lens assemblies fit on the ITW momentary switch post. A Red LED light bar is fitted inside the lens cap to indicate if the module is in the A or B switch position. This solves those A/B switch problems and provides high reliability for a great console.

New A/B for RMX modules
|
|
Here is a photo of a RMX Mic input module. It has our new A/B switch assembly. The ITW momentary switch fits into the faceplate opening used for the old ITT Shadow switch. The logic provides a push on, push off function. The LED lights when in the B input position. The board contains the (2) Omron relays used for audio and logic switching. Th RMX stereo line input module requires (3) Oron relays. By selecting a pair of jumpers this assembly can be used across the X-Class product line. RMX and ProductionMixer would use just one PC board assembly. BMX-II and BMX-III/AMX and ABX required two PC boards in a Master/Slave relationship.

New A/B for X-Class Consoles
|
|
Here is a photo of the new A/B switch installed on a BMX-III/AMX stereo line input module. Two PC boards are used. One is the Master board with logic and the second is the Slave board. This allows us to use one type of assembly across the X-Class product line. Also not the new bus assignment board with the Omron surface mount relays. The relays we are using are model G6K-2G-Y and the Digikey part number is Z-137-ND. These changes take the X-Class line to a whole new level of perfomance and reliability. If you think I'm blowing smoke, check out the PDF file for the relay at Digikeys web site. Note the ITW momentary switch used for selection. It fits in the same front panel holes as the old ITT Shadow switch. The LED lights up indicating A or B as selected.

New 12 station selector
|
|
Here is our proto-type of the new replacement option for the old style audio switches. 12 volt logic drives a pair of high life cycle surface mount relays, for each of the 12 stations. The ITW momentary LED/Switch selects, (proven in the RMX console series) lights upon selection of the chosen station. At power-up a user set of jumpers allow a specfic position to be programed. We will set the jumpers for the PGM, #1 position but can be changed in the field. This PC assembly can be field installed. 12 volts is taken from the logic supply to power this 12 station relay switcher. (1) Eliminates mechanical latching problems. (2) Buttons won't pop off the switch posts. (3) Audio is routed through these high reliability relays for long noise-free operation. The field installable kit comes complete with the tested PC 12 station assembly, installation instructions and the 12 volt cable assembly required to power the logic. Order yours today. Price is $325.00 plus shipping.

Resizing a RMX-28 to a RMX-12
|
|
Do you need more table space in a studio? How about down sizing the size of your console frame? In this case a customer no longer needed 28 input modules. A RMX-12 frame would provide enough module control and give 24 inches of additional table space. We could add another monitor and keyboard. As you can see on the bottom plate this was a RMX-28 frame reduced down to a RMX-12. We can provide this service on RMX, BMX-II and BMX-III. Need more studio space but don't want to gut the studio? Call us for a quote to reduce your console frame size. At this same time we can refurb your console modules and make them better than new with our Poly-Carb face plates that never wear out.

Mod to Auditronics 202 SLI modules
|
|
We noted when testing these modules a negative peak headroom issue developed when comparing the Audtion and Program outputs. The program output switch is a CMOS 4053 IC. Its controlled by the PGM shadow switch contacts. The use of this IC, driving a bus resistor requires that pin 7 receive (-5) VDC. The modification is quite simple and can be done in the field. The IC socket must be removed from the PC board. The trace from pin 6 to pin 7 must be cut. The trace from pin 8 to pin 7 must be cut. Pin 6 and 8 get to ground VIA different paths. Now that pin 7 is floating, we can now connect (-5) VDC to this pin. Re-install the 16 pin dip socket or install a new one. Then re-insert the 4053 IC. To obtain (-5) VDC, we used a simple resistive voltage divider. The parts are shown installed on top of the -15 volt regulator, a 7915 IC. A 510 Ohm resistor is soldered to the 7915 ground pin. A 1K resistor is soldered to the -15 volt output pin of the 7915 regulator. The free ends of both resistors are twisted together and soldered to from the new -5 VDC source. We also installed a 10uF polarized capacitor + to ground and - to the resistor (-5) VDC junction. You can see these parts in the photo. Now run a piece of wire wrap from the new (-5) VDC source to pin 7 of the 4053 IC. This completes the modification. We bread-boarded this circuit to verify that indeed negative clipping was observed with pin 7 grounded. When pin 7 was suppied -5 VDC the clipping issue was resolved. Inovation for some older modules from the minds of MOORETRONIX.

BMX-III Mic module with relay A/B switching
|
|
Here is the first BMX-III Mic input module with high reliability relay switching for the A/B mic inputs. The adaptor board now allows the use of a 2PDT latching A/B switch, placing mic audio through the relays and not the 6PDT switch. Again like the BMX-III Line input module, remote switching of the A/B inputs is now possible. The next step is to add these relays to the PGM/AUD/UTL bus switching board. Innovation from the minds of MOORETRONIX.

New high reliability option BMX-III
|
|
Here is the proto-type daughter board added to the BMX-III A/B switch assembly. These surface mount relays take the place of the rear section of the original 6 pole switch. This modification only needs a 2PDT latched A/B switch for logic and relay control. The audio is now routed through these new relays. A new feature with this mod is the ability to remote switch the A/B input. Pin 15 is open for this use on the A & B console logic connectors. The next step is to add these relays to the PGM/AUD/UTL bus assignment board. This will route the bus audio through the relays. The Bus switches will be used for relay control. Check out the specs on this relay at Digikey using part number Z137-ND. From the minds of MOORETRONIX.

Sargent Tools crimper for .062 Molex pins
|
|
When searching for a lower cost ratchet style crimp tool we found this one from MCM Electronics at $121.00 plus shipping. It's identical to the higher priced Molex tool and has a ratchet release lever. This is handy when the pin gets loaded wrong. Remember that we sell Molex connector kits for BMX-II, BMX-III/AMX and RadioMixer consoles. In these tough economic times it just makes sense to re-purpose an X-Class console. Why spend 10's of thousands of dollars when spending a few thousand will allow a great console to serve your station needs again. We provide complete module re-building services. We have new Poly Carbonet faceplates to solve the paint and silkscreen issues. Our LED kits get rid of the lamps and save energy. Make your X-Class console brand new again both in appearance and operation. You never need to RE-BOOT a BMX!

New headphone panel
|
|
The new Harris 99-1215 headphone amplifier is a great solution for talk-table headphone applications. If you are using the PR&E headphone panels in the talk-table skirts of your studios, we have a new version of the panel using a single 10K linear pot for level control. Our circuit board assembly fits in place of the old jack and dual 10K audio taper pot. The Harris headphone amp allows stereo control with a simple 10K pot. We chose a Clarosat, conductive plastic 10K pot for long trouble free life. We will sell the complete panel for $100.00 each or the Pot, Headphone Jack, PC board assembly for $85.00 each. The hook-up is simple Cat 5 home runs to the headphone amp. Got noisey pots? This is the solution.

Adding A/B remote audio control to the BMX-III
|
|
We are proto-typing an enhancement to the BMX-III input modules, Mic and Line. This removes the audio from the switch contacts to SMT relay inputs. The A/B input switch will now have DC switching control but no audio. Two 2PDT switches replace the 6PDT switches currently used. The 2PDT switch now selects the A or B input relays. When the A & B input switches are both up, remote control of the relays is possible through the Logic A or Logic B connectors. We had to give up external SOLO tally for this new feature. Logic A connector pin 14 controls the A audio relay and Logic B connector pin 14 controls the B audio relay. This allows a new level of control and audio reliabilty for the A & B audio inputs. From the minds of MOORETRONIX.

Static Fix Modification
|
|
The original factory fix for static discharge problems into ABX, AMX and BMX-III mic and line modules was a system of #3 internal tooth lockwashers. These were installed under the module pull screws and the module anchoring screws. This does work as long as the washers broke through the paint of the inlay. Our modification hard wires the module extrusion to logic common of the console power supply. Our lab test have shown this is very effective. Note the green #16 wire attached to the lower mounting screw of the gain trim bracket. The other end of the wire is soldered to the grounded end of the .1uF bypass capacitor across the 12 volt logic supply to the module. All modules sent to MOORETRONIX for repair or refurbishment now receive this modification.

New bargraph style VU meter for X-Class consoles
|
|
We are in the proto-type stage of a retro-fit Bar Graph meter for the PR&E X-Class consoles. This assembly will fit the Dixon, Crompton and Sifam meter bezels. It features an expanded -40 dB to +3 dB range. The +3 post has a hold function to alert the operator of maximum level. We have also included an additional open collector output to be used with a vibration sensor or tone inserted into the headphone monitor circuit. This feature allows blind board-operators a method of VU level detection. This assembly will mate directly with the power and audio plugs for BMX-I, II & III as well as AMX and ABX console products. Radiomixer users can also take advantage of this new bargraph meter by installing an optional cable harness.

Repeat pulse, BMX-II Line input
|
|
See the logic schematic from the BMX-II manual for the Line Input module. This modification requires a 20K, 1/4 Watt resistor, a 1N4148 diode with Teflon sleeving and cutting a single trace on the bottom of the PC board. See the photo for the trace cut location. Its under the 20K resistor tack soldered as shown. The trace runs between U3B at pin 4 and U10B at pin 12. Once cut, bridge the trace with the resistor as shown. The diode is tack soldered as shown in the photo. The cathode end connects to U7 pin 1 and the anode to U1o pin 12.
Now each time the local ON button is depressed, a start pulse will be issued. If the TIMER RESET is enabled, it will also issue a pulse with each depression of the ON button.
This mod is handy for live assist with computer automation.
Enjoy! Bob Moore

During the past quarter, we have re-furbed (2) BMX-III 22 consoles, (1) Radiomixer 12, (1) Auditronics 218 and (1) BMX-II 10.
We have also refurbed 63 various modules for PR&E X-Class equipment including Stereomixer, Newsmixer, RMX, PMX, BMX-I, BMX-II, BMX-III, ABX and STX.
We are the only source on the planet for SM-5B windscreen sets and SM-5B Blast Filters.
Its been busy!
Again..I thank-You!!!

Repeat start pulse, BMX-III Line Input
|
|
Here is a simple way to allow a Next Event pulse to be issued by the BMX-III line input module logic each time the local ON button is pressed. See page 4 of the BMX-III Line Input schematic. The trace is cut between Pin 1 of U205A and Pins 4 & 12 of U211. This trace is on top of the PCA near R283. A 10K 1/4 Watt resistor is installed across the break on the bottom of the PCA. It is tack soldered to the IC socket pins of U205, 1 & U211, 4. Be sure to used Teflon sleeving for the resistor leads. A 1N4148 diode is added on the top of the PCA between pin 4 of U202A, cathode, with the anode connected to pin 4 of U211. Now with each depression of the local ON button the start pulse will be issued and Timer Reset pulse issued if enabled. If you need more information, a modified schematic, photos and parts for a single module, order Kit MTX-060405-3. Priced at $15.00

Stereo Tracer demonstration
|
|
The Stereo Tracer signature waveforms are shown in this photo. The SEND outputs are being sent to the BMX-III remote line selector module. The RLS output is sent to a BMX Line Input Module. The module is feeding PGM, AUD & UTL bus assignments. The BMX-III PROGRAM LINE OUTPUT is connected to the Stereo Tracer Return inputs. The upper trace shows a normal LEFT channel display with a positive rising waveform from the reference line. The bottom trace is a normal RIGHT channel waveform. If PHASE was reversed on one of the channels the signature waveform would be negative or below the reference line. Note the BMX-III VU meters have a 4 dB difference, due to the increased duty cycle of the RIGHT waveform. This is how the VU meter interpets this wave. Try these tests with a toner. Imagine verification of LEFT & RIGHT channel position, amplitude & phase from a remote stereo source through all active amplifiers up to the STL inputs! Thats the real world test power of Stereo Tracer. Available only from MOORETRONIX.

Here is the nearly complete BMX-III 18 input console. The clock and timer need to be mounted. The wood trim has been re-finished and needs to be installed. Then the final tests begin. We will use STEREO TRACER to verify Phase Amplitude and Position of the stereo inputs and outputs of the console. Level and distortion measurements will also be made. Nothing sounds as great or operates as easily as a BMX. Can we re-build yours?

STEREO TRACER dynamic power
|
|
Here we have Stereo Tracer connected to the BMX-II Remote Line Selector with it's output feeding Line Input module 18. The returns of Stereo Tracer are connected to the BMX-II Program Output. Since Stereo Tracer is a dynamic device, DC continuity is not required. Imagine verifying a total STEREO signal path from input source to the inputs of an STL, T1 or EQ Telco circuits. Stereo Tracer will find that phasing problem fast.

Stereo Tracer photo 5
|
|
In this photo, STEREO TRACER is connected to a stereo balanced pair. The PHASE is correct for both Left & Right pairs but the bottom waveform is at half amplitude, indicating that one of the Right conductors is open. The other advantage of using it's signature waveforms is the ability to judge a Stereo pairs quality by observing the rise time. Quick, accurate, stereo testing at an affordable price. Order yours now! a great value at $700.00 with manual. The optional rack mount kit or the nylon strapping kit are priced at $30.00......The scope shown is NOT included. However your scope with STEREO TRACER becomes even more valuable test tool!
