I moved house in July, and this is now my living-room / studio / workshop 

Self-employed, working out of my home, aspiring recording / mixing engineer.

Props to Louis Rossmann for preaching the benefits of 4k for viewing schematics

Plenty of shelf space on that wall to clear things up.
By the way: seeing that you are using those Tannoys (6s?) from the Precision series.
have you found those super tweeters to be of any use? I can cover mine and not
a difference is to be heard. Maybe its may age....

Sweet! Looks just like my place!

Actually, at some point i'm planning to put up some acoustic absorption on those walls, i've got flutter echo in that room like a mofo (if you'll pardon the language) 

About the supertweeters, i'm not terribly sure. but then again, most of the music i listen to is sampled at 44.1kHz, so...
Either way, when i grabbed those (sold as faulty on ebay, grabbed'em for a bit under 200e shipped), i wanted them more for the coax drivers, and the (hopefully) easy repairability

You don't wanna know how my previous place looked...

more bits & bobs from off the Bench

Some of us live in small studios... poor us.


Well, at least I have a fancy lab at work.

[Saronni]

Here's my little corner of electronics in the house.

Nice bench!  I should post mine - if I didn't have 10 different projects going on.

Dave should do a rant about how it's "not the size of the bench, or the collection of test equipment that matters"

I'm always amazed at how many awesome projects come from people with a modest bench, and a $300 scope. And yet other peeps have a $10,000 scope unlimited resources.

Rant on Dave!

[Rolo]

You even have the protection foil on the siglents, Dave does not like that ?

Over time I've stocked my workbench with auction scores and repair pieces:



I just got my cabinets (free shipping on the Agilent one, don't know how they made money on it) and I'm trying to work out where I want my gear.

This surplus test gear thing is a great way to get quality gear for inexpensive prices. The most expensive piece was the 3458A I got from a Seagate facility closure ($1800) and the least expensive was the 5440B from the US Air force for $65.

Nice array of kit.

Stack it higher and deeper - that's my motto.

Lucky man have that place for those gears. 
I have something to sell, because of space for new one:)

[bitseeker]

Those racks are great. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for something like that.

Are you kidding?  Have you never watched any of his videos?  Have you never noticed both the size of his bench space and the size of his test equipment collection.....

Unless you are trying to say he's compensating for something....

You missed the point, but followed it up well!

Do you find yourself moving the gear a lot from the racks to the bench? Many of those pieces of gear need to be fairly close to the DUT to be practical. I still have all of my gear in a usable position on the bench, but only because it is not that much stuff. I am looking at an LCR meter, VNA, and SA which would be too big to fit on the bench.

[Tony_G]

You might not notice it but there is a little adjustable bench right in front of the 3458A that I can use for a lot of stuff that needs shorter cables. For things that need to be attached directly I have one of those adjustable laptop tables so I can set the height to match my sig gens and then place the equipment on that.

So far it's been a good layout but I haven't screwed anything down yet (and I think I'll move my 3325B further up in the cabinet).

On the bench I have some Rigol gear that use day to day and mostly I can use the RF stuff either by using the little bench or by adjusting for the cable insertion loss.

Overall I'm really happy with the change as it enables me to have more actual bench space.

That's pretty cool: lab and Fyuse.

Terabyte,

That is an obscene amount of multimeters!
I love it.

What, only one 3458A?

j/k. Nice stash, Tony_G.
