deanmass Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 I think this is kind of weird, but it makes sense... http://www.eetimes.com/sys/news/OEG20030124S0035
Salyphus Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 I'm still wondering why guitars aren't using balanced connectors?? :confused:
fantasticsound Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 It's nice to see progress in this area. When I worked at Gibson Customer Support, we had a website for Gibson Magic, but not a lot of information. We had no access to the people working on this project. It sounds exciting, as a guitar player and sound engineer. Can you imagine I show up to a gig with, say, a 10 piece band. As soon as the instruments are plugged in, I get information on the instrument, perhaps notations about the players' needs due to their particular sound and technique. It could cut down initial setup and soundcheck to a fraction of the time it takes currently. As for electric guitars using high impedance, unbalanced systems; Low impedance pickups with preamps have been available for about 30 years. Every attempt to make them popular has failed. They simply sound different than their high impedance counterparts. I'm unfamiliar with the ability to make high impedance, balanced circuits, but I assume it's either unfeasable or simply impractical. Maybe someone else has more information??? It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd

ernest828 Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Gibson is finally moving the guitar out of the stone age! I broke three strings today on my Strat and I wasn`t even mad. Just playing a very rhytmic section and wham. Just very primitive instruments, these guitars. I love the balanced connector idea. What a concept huh? :) Peace, Ernest

I put on graphite saddles and went from breaking at least one string per gig/rehearsal to playing the same set until all strings died a natural death.
