Topic: not a real big fan of V3's HPF1...

[Simp-Dawg]

at least not on inital listening.  i ran the HPF for a bunch of stuff at 10klf, tracking out signal path right now.  it was realy bassy at the show under the tent, so i threw it on a few seconds into the first song.  it doesn't sound bad, but i can tell there's a good amount of low end missing from the tape.  we'll see how the rest of the weekend turned out (this was the first show i taped) and hopefully i turned it off for most of the open air stuff...can't remember though

Having only ran the V3 twice now. I did run HPF1 for moe. Buff. I had no filter on and set at 25 and no trim. Levels were going throught the roof! We were very close to the stage as far as FOB goes though. Flipped it down to 1 with some trim and it seems to smooth it out, but there is a lack of low end, not a lot, but some. I probably should have moved back 10ft, and ran with no filter. I wish it wouldn't  make the sound on the recording to where you can tell you flipped the switch.

guess i'll need to open 'er up and find out what jumper settings i've got it on...

bought it used and had them do the optical mod to it.  tanking hard and fast?  what exactly do you mean?

I've been using the HPF2 a ton since last Fall. I'm catching a lot of flack from other Panic tapers, but I really like how it sounds. If anyone wants to compare there were two of us running AKG 481 > V3 on Wednesday one row apart. Mine was with HPF2 and his was without:

i used hpf2 a lot when i was running tl>v2>modsbm1 and was quite pleased with the results.  when i went to the v3 i found i was using less often.  I haven't had to use it yet with my latest rig.

I normally run mine at 75hz@6db depending on the room. I ran it last year 100hz@12db for 3 out of the 4 Melvins shows I was at (regretted running it active in the long run, but tapes still smoke).

Rolloff - depends on what you tape and the room. trial and error. thats all it amounts to. Experiment to see what works for you.

Have fun w/the V3!!

HPF1 really cuts out a lot of low end info.  HPF2 will do the trick nicely.
Its too bad Grace labeled them backwards in a sense.  You would think HPF1 would cut less bass than HPF2, but in reality its the other way around.

Simp-let me know when you are done tracking Path's set.

I have used both, and they both have their uses...I have used HPF1 a few times when running the omni's with the TL's..still got some phat bass

agreed, that's bass ackwards

makes no sense at all

The HPF's are the only reason I have thought about upgrading to a V3 , I also like the the MiniMe .
I would like to be able run a Bit hotter , And have some sorta comfort level.
These are the things that the "Big Boy's" have over the UA-5. Even with a Mod ..

After getting it wrong once, here's how I think of the hpf switch.  When looking at the face of the V2/3, the higher setting has a higher frequency cutoff.  No matter what the internal jumpers are at, hpf1 cuts it higher than hpf2.  It also helps if the lettering is worn off 

[dklein]

ok, I just went to look at my v2 to confirm and after checking, stood up into the corner of a glass cupboard door.  My head is bleeding.  If I don't post again within 24 hours please tell my wife and kids I love them and put my gear into the ts gear loaner program
