PorchBoard Floor Bass: Difference between revisions

Line 36:

* The best sound of the PorchBoard seems to come when played through an Extended Bass {{L1}} System (one with 4 {{B1}}'s); four {{B1}}'s provide the broad dynamic low range which can bring out the variety of volumes one has with most percussive instruments. However, it can also sound just fine through single or double {{B1}} Systems, too. However, it is not recommend for use with an {{L1}} without at least one {{B1}} attached.

* ~~Note that~~ the pickup in the ~~PorchBoard is much like a microphone; however, since~~ it is (usually) sitting on the floor, you might need to be careful about what other pieces of electrical devices are near it. For example, a "wall-wart" ''(an external power supply or transformer)'' next to it might cause a 60-cycle 'hum' to be amplified!

* The PorchBoard is uses a proximity sensor originally designed for the automotive industry rather than a musical instrument pickup. The sensor does not require a preamp and can be plugged into the line level inputs of the L1®. On the {{Classic}} and {{Model I}} that would be Channels 3 or 4. On the {{T1}} you can use Channel 4/5.

* Since it is (usually) sitting on the floor, you might need to be careful about what other pieces of electrical devices are near it. For example, a "wall-wart" ''(an external power supply or transformer)'' next to it might cause a 60-cycle 'hum' to be amplified. (Has anybody experienced this?)
