Urgent Technical help needed Barcus Berry Mic and Pre

[Vic]

I am in Sydney making some work for the Festival and onsite today out in Bidwill I was meant to conduct some tests with a contact microphone in an underpass beneath a roadway using a 4000 : Piano & Harp Planar Wave System.

But for some reason, no signal from the pre/mic.

It has been working flawlessly up until now and as I am on site I have no other cables etc to test it but wondering if anyone knows a tech in Sydney that might be able to look at it.

We are staying in the city.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok that's just weird. I was doing a similar thing, micing an underpass with one of those contact mics for a show I am doing for Sydney festival, only a couple of weeks ago!

Sorry can't help you out with a tech, as I am in based in Brisbane, however I am heading to Sydney on Monday for the gig. So if you need another mic let know.

[Vic]

haha, what a wacky coincidence. And thanks so much for the offer to assist. I'll let you know how I go as I'd love to get it sorted this week if possible and I really love this pre/mic combo, so would love to get it working again.

Vic,just saw your post,can you get up to Greenwich this morning,I'll take a quick look at it for you in the workshop.Hopefully it's just a dry solder joint in the pre or something not too serious.

HI Alastair,

Thanks so much. That would be wonderful.

However, I can't come out today as I have to head back out to Bidwill again in about 20 minutes, but I could come out tomorrow morning if that suits you?

Thanks again.

Yeah that's fine.I'll be in from 10:30 til 4:30 .Got to head out to ANZ stadium for Cricket OB.
Give me a call later this morning. If you can give me a model number for the pre,I'll see if I can find a schematic.

Back in action!!

Thanks so much Alastair for all your help and great meeting you.

And thanks to the Turtlerock community, so great that my urgent issue could be fixed 600kms away from home.

Cheers.
