MOORETRONIX 67 Volt B battery packs

This photo shows the B battery packs installed in the FI Meter. These series connected 9 volt alkaline batteries make a great sub for the orginal B batteries. The kit includes the mating 2 pin Molex connectors to field install this upgrade. The cost is $85.00 for the 2 PC cards and Molex cables. Batteries are not included. The nice thing about this upgrade is the local availability of the 9 volt alkaline batteries.

Replacement B Battery packs

We came up with this idea to solve the requirement of B batteries for portable tube equipment. Using 9 volt alkaline cells provides a long life B battery with a long storage cycle. The PC board can be user set-up for a pair of 45 volt, a 72 volt or 90 volt battery. We also have a version for the RCA and Nems Clark Field Meters. A single PC board has (2) 67 volt sections that fit within the Field Meter battery compartment. The nice feature about these packs is the availability of the 9 volt alkaline cells most anywhere batteries are sold. The universal B battery board is $60.00 and the RCA/Nems Clark version is $85.00 and includes (2) cables with 2 pin Molex connectors for the FI and OSC sections. The user installs the supplied mating 2 pin connectors to the original FI meter B battery cables.

DX-50 rear view Combiner

This is the torroid side. If you look close ypu'll see a jumper repair. We also treat the ribbon connectors with Caig contact cleaner. This board had some plating issues at the mounting points along one side. Perhaps due to vibration the hardware was a little loose. We replated these areas to improve the grouding connections. RF does some strange things, even in a sold-state transmitter like the DX-50. A great transmitter design by Hilmer Swanson.

DX-50 Combiner 992-7088-001

We work on these too. After years of service the combiner boards need a good cleaning, capacitors replaced and jumpers checked and repaired. Depending upon the environment and maintenance of the transmitter building air system determines how much corosion and dirt accumulate. We also clean all edge connector contacts using lint free wipes and Caig contact treatment.

RMX Line under digital control

Here is our next upgrade to RadioMixer. The photo shows a new switch assembly with LED lighted switches. This upgrade replaces the mechanical switches with a series of high reliability, surface mounted, control relays. They are operated by a Micro-controller. The set-up is pre-programmed here at Mooretronix with PGM 1 ON as shown in the photo. The user, with a PC and a USB port can re-configure in the field, which functions are turned on or off. We have seen through field experience that the A/B switch always stays in A. The mode switches are seldom used but when needed can get the operator out of a jam due to a lost left or right channel. PGM 1 is always on with ocasional use of PGM-2. If your format calls for telephone use then the OFF LINE mix switch is on. The switches shown are momentary and allow user selection. Our experience has shown that the Mode switches and the A/B input switch causes the most trouble. By making this up-grade reliability increases 10 fold over the old mechanical switches. We also have a version of this up-grade for the RMX Mic input module. New inovation from the minds of MOORETRONIX.

BMX-III/AMX users

We have noticed two issues with early BMX-III/AMX Program amplifiers. If your consoles are pre-1990 it's likely that the Tantalum capacitors in the +-18 volt regulator circuit will fail due to aging. The second fault has to do with the bias diodes attached to the MJE-171 & 181 transistors. The bias diodes are breaking away from the bonding agent causing high current failure of the 45-119 function module. We have a replacement kit available which contains (4) transistor/diode pairs and (6) 10uF radial electrolytics. We also are including (8) 22uF 50 volt capacitors to replace C4 & C5 on the 45-119 PC board. The kit price is $89.00 per program amplifier.

Rebuilding a BMX-III 26

Here is a photo of the right side of a BMX-III 26 just completed. We've been rebuilding PR&E consoles for about 10 years. After 15 years in the field, a console begins to show it's age. Our job is to return it to original condition, add energy saving enhancements, and reliability improvements. Conversion from Edison lamps to LED's saves about 75% in power consuption from the logic supply and avoids the constant lamp replacement. Electrolytic capacitors have a limited life and do wear out. We replace them all. We do alot of cosmetic surgery to each console. Another troublesome area is the mechanical audio switches. We used to change them out when ever we re-built a console. For the last 2 years we have been treating these switches with a special Puree developed here at MOORETRONIX. Once treated, these audio switches perform as good as new ones and sometimes better. I continue to be amazed at how well the treatment works. We seldom have to replace an audio switch unless it has a mechanical failure. By treating the switches and not replacing them, PC board trauma is avoided. When a rebuilt console leaves MOORETRONIX it looks as great as it sounds. Let us provide a quotation for rebuilding your PR&E console today. A re-built console adds value to the original investment.

MTX switcher for BMX-III RLS

Here is our Proto Type of the MOORETRONIX RLS switcher for BMX-III consoles. This electronic switcher replaces the old mechanical style switcher. This is a scaled down version of our 12 station Monitor selector we have been building for the BMX-III/AMX Control Room module. The kit includes the PC board assembly with the hardware to mount it to your old RLS faceplate. We supply a cable to pick-up 12 volts from the VU Meter power distribution board. The cable passes through a frame opening for RLS position 1 or 2. It takes less than 10 minutes to install. Instead of a wink-eye an LED indicates which input is selected, 1 through 10. The production PC boards will have the solder mask and silkscreen. The price is $345.00 each. We will begin shipping in October.

Installed in the frame is the Slate/Osc module to feed the 3 Outputs, PGM, AUD and UTL at +4dB.The Meter switcher is in place and switched to UTL for the AUX VU meter pair. The 3 Program amplifiers are present. Our next step is to apply +12 Volts and begin testing the logic. We could downsize your BMX-III from a 34, 30, 26 or 22 to an 18 or 14 depending on how much additional room you may need in your studio. Downsizing is done in groups of 4 X 1.5 inches. A BMX-III 34 downsized to a 18 would reduce the console width by 24 inches.

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 production version 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 $350.00 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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 6

Here is the STEREO TRACER PC board. We use a combination of Surface Mount and Thru Hole parts. The labled IC is the Video Signature Chip used to create the display and sync waveforms. All part locations are silk screened with a parts locator in the manual.

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!

StereoTracer photo #2

Here we have a stereo cable with a phase reversal in pair 1. Note the inverted signature waveform on the top trace. The STEREO TRACER Sends output a unique signature waveform you can inject into balanced pairs, stereo switch selectors, high quality audio console line level inputs, audio snakes, almost any professional audio application where balanced circuits are employed!
