The time has come once again to mix the fifth annual WCSB Masquerade Ball for broadcast.
We set up in a box truck outside and mixed the microphone splits from the sound system and audience mics through a 32 channel mixer. We used the Telos Zephur IP to send the mix to the radio station.
The broadcast was a total success until the lights went out, which unfortunatly cut our broadcast short.
This week, I was commissioned to install a new HD TV. The client wanted it mounted to the wall and it was requested that no cabling be visible. 
First we laid out the location of the new tv on the wall with masking tape.
We then installed new hardware to mount the tv and to accomodate wire runs and a surge suppressing outlet.
A pair of new-old-stock Symetrix 304 headphone amplifiers have just arrived at the studio. These amps are incredible work horses.
Occasionally, a piece of control room equipment needs to be decommissioned and taken into the workshop for service. This time it was the Nakamichi MR1 Cassette Deck. This deck uses three motors to handle the tape. These motors depend on each other for proper operation and if one malfunctions, the whole machine stops working. In this case, the spooling motor had a dead spot and the machine would stop playback to keep the transport from eating the tape.
The transport assembly was removed from the machine and taken to the test bench for further dissembly.
Once the transport was disassembled, the motors could then be dismounted and cleaned.
The spooling motor was disconnected, opened and cleaned. You can see the three major components of the motor.
Once all the components were serviced, the machine was reassembled and recommissioned. 
The SoundCraft TS12 is a recording console which has proven to be a reliable workhorse since 1987. Its in-line design makes it a very compact and versatile desk. The TS12 in the JPS workshop is currently undergoing a massive restoration. The desk has been wired into the main recording and editing machine. This way it remains in commission for the duration of its restoration. So far, the power supply and the meter bridge have been rebuilt, new power capacitors have been installed, the faders have been taken apart and cleaned, all of the switches in the main i/o signal chain have been replaced, and plans are being made to upgrade the mic pre’s, the casework and wrist rails.
