Signal Level for 2wire

The signal level on my wireless network connection does not work when I go to one specific room in my house - it works upstairs, but not 50 feet away. The signal is either very low or does not work at all in just the one room. I am using a 2wire home portal. Do I need to get an adapter? And where do I place the adapter?
Thank you,
Janice

If you get no wireless signal in one room of your house, then most likely one of the following has happened (in order of most to least likely)
- you are too far away from the wireless router
- there are too many walls, or walls with concrete and/or metal construction located between the iBook and the wireless router
- the room you are in is closer to a source of radiofrequency interference (2.4 GHz portable phones, neighbor's wireless networks)
Try reorienting the wireless router. Turn it, point it in a different direction, put it up higher - any of these tricks just might fix the problem.
What did you have in mind when you asked about an "adapter"?

Setup help - low signal level in Logic

I'm getting low input signal levels when recording in Logic (-17db to about -10db, on average), and am hoping someone here can point out an obvious oversight on my part.
I'm recording mic'd guitars and vocals (one track at a time), with the mic(s)running into a Mackie 1402 mixer via XLR. Signals are strong and fine when I solo on the Mackie.
The signal runs out of the Mackie via the Alt 3-4 bus into the first and second 1/4" inputs on the back of a Motu 828 mkII, then into Logic.
Even if I drive the signal to near clipping on the Mackie, I get these low levels when recording in Logic. This is true whether I'm using a condenser mic with phantom power for vocals, or a dynamic mic on a guitar amp. I've also tried swithcing XLR mic cables.
I'm running Logic Pro 7.2.3 and OS X (10.4.9) on a G5 2.5 DP.
Is my signal path in need of some tweaking, or perhaps it's a setting I'm overlooking on the Motu 828?
Any help greatly appreciated to get this rookie back on track!

Hi,
You wrote:

The solo on the Mackie is probably louder,check to see if you have it AFL(after fader listen or PFL(pre fader level or "level set").
The signal runs out of the Mackie via the Alt 3-4 bus
into the first and second 1/4" inputs on the back of
a Motu 828 mkII, then into Logic.
The first thing to check is to see what kind of cables you are running into the Motu mkii.
A. Unbalanced (ie "guitar-type" with two wires)
B.Balanced (ie "stereo-type" with three wires)
The second thing is to check what your inputs on your Motu are,there are two choices: +4dBu("pro") or -10dBV("consumer")
Here's the catch:
You MUST MATCH the correct cables for the correct levels.If the Mackie is outputting -10dBV but your Motu is thinking it is +4 you see less level no matter how loud you make the Mackie outputs.
The Mackie can output AUTOMATICALLY either -10dBV or +4dBu depending on what cable is hooked up to it.
Even if I drive the signal to near clipping on the
Mackie, I get these low levels when recording in
Logic. This is true whether I'm using a condenser mic
with phantom power for vocals, or a dynamic mic on a
guitar amp. I've also tried swithcing XLR mic cables.
This is not where the problem lies.It lieas between the output of the Mackie and the input to Logic.

Yes,a setting somewhere in the Motu is not set correctly.Check above for how to do that.

Signal Level Varies

I don't know if this is related or not but ever since we had several brief power outages the signal level from my Airport Extreme Base Station throughout the house is very low. The base has an antenna connected and is in the room with my main G5 computer. There is also a G5 imac and a G4 ibook in other parts of the house. All 3 receive the signal via Airport. What I notice is that when first connecting (when the computer starts up), the signal strength is very strong and then it slowly backs down until it's only at level one or two on the meter. This even happens in my office which is only about three feet from the base station. I have tried moving the antenna and base station around but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Rebooting the computer often helps, but not permanently. Any suggestions?
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I don't have an answer but I'd like one - I have exactly the same problem. Except we didn't have any power failures... the signal's just consistently getting worse, and I haven't changed any settings. For a long time it worked fine... anyone?

IRig input level for vocal mic extremely low

Hi All,
I have ben merrily using my iRig and Garageband for Ipad to record instrumental tracks with no problem, but recently decided to try and add vocals. Just to test it out I bought an imitation SM58 style dynamic mic, with an XLR to jack lead so I could use the iRig, however when I go to use it, the audio/input level for the mic is VERY low - any ideas as to why this might be? I've turned the track volume and input up to maximum but it's still barely audible. Suspect it might be the mic, so tempted to spend some real money on a condenser mic, but worried I will get the same result. Are there any alternatives / success stories with recording vocals through Garageband, and what are you using?
Thanks
Nick

I have used the Shure SM58 and many microphones similar to it in studio and live settings, and that microphone requires what is called Phantom Power when it is run through a mixing board. In a nutshell, Phantom Power runs 48 volts on the channel the microphone is in, because that microphone only sends a passive signal and it needs to be powered. So the reason your microphone would put out such a low level would probably be because there's not a substantial for your iRig to pick up, even at maximum gain. I would look into purchasing a phantom power unit or some other preamp that you can put between your iRig and microphone.

"No service 3G" displayed without any signal level displayed

I just upgraded to IOS 6 and after re-entering my APN info and restarting my iPad 2 my iPad 2 tried searching for a carrier the displayed:
"No Service 3G"without any signal level displayed.
The Carrier shows correctly in Settings-Carrier and my iPad 2 seems to be fully operational. Data flow (web browsing/e-mail/etc) on the 3G and Wi-Fi networks are good.
How do I get the carrier and signal level to display correctly?

That's kind of what i was wondering i live in Apartment Building as well top floor We have a Tower 2 miles to the North a Tower 1 mile or less to our South and 1 that's close to 2 miles to our West and is on Another apartment building and the Signal i'm getting is 3 to 4 bars and the 4G the bars indicate CDMA signal only why as the 4G is your Data.. Our apartment is maid out of Brick with Metal Windows the Roof is a Normal flat Roof with a High Grade Roof shingle..
You might Check and see what is in the Building Materials in your Apartment and if you Live in the bottom part of it that might Hamper the Signal somewhat..

Quadrature Input and RS422 Signal Levels

I have a quadrature signal coming from a motion control drive that is in RS422 levels. What would the easiest solution be to get those signals into the quadrature encoder module (cFP)?
Thanks,
Michael Wise

http://www.baldor.com/products/motioncontrol/microflex.asp?product.asp?1=1&product=Servo+Controls&fa...
It has a simulated (actual signal to drive is a resolver) quadrature signal coming out. I'm only concerned with A+B since I'm just using it to determine speed. In the spec it says the signal levels of the encoder output conform to RS422 Levels.
I was planning on using the NI cFP-QUAD-510 for reading the encoder A/B signals back into the cFP system.

Ideal levels for recording spoken word

I want to record some screen recorded videos with iShowU, import them into FCP and record narration over them. I will be using a Countryman headset mic plugged into a mixer that will be plugged into my Macpro.
1.) Is there any reason to record my narration in any program other than FCP using the Voice Over tool?
2.) From what I have read, the ideal average levels for spoken word is around -12db. Should I be concerned if I am hitting below this while recording and only sometimes reaching -12db? Or is this something I can just adjust in FCP? OR should I try to average -12db when recording my narration?
Thanks!!!

I'm with David on this. My sweet spot for peaks is in the -6 to -3 range as well. I'm talking about ideal for "recording" your VO, not necessarily for delivering a final mix to the client as already mentioned.
When you record anything through a microphone, there will be a noise floor to contend with. Even the quietest recording studios with the best isolation and the quietest mic preamps have noise and hum at some level. So it's critical for us without ideal recording environments to keep our recording levels as hot as possible without clipping in order to achieve the best signal-to-noise ratio. If you record something too low, and bring it up in post, you will be bringing up the noise floor along with the signal.

M-Audio FastTrack USB - very low signal level (line/guitar)

I've used FastTrack USB for a couple of years with a microphone through the XLR input with no problems. Now I am trying to connect a line output of a synthesizer to the line input of the FastTrack and the signal level is very low. There is no noise, it's just quiet, even with the track volume all the way up it's still no match for the rest of the tracks.
Any suggestions, except for trying all the knobs and switches on the face and back of the unit (tried that already)? Anybody has similar setup?
I use FastTrack for audio input, and built-in audio for output, it's connected through a hub (no problems for two years). In GB microphone is going to the Channel 1 (mono), and still works fine. Synthesizer goes to Channel 2 (mono) and is really quiet. I tried the syn with two different 1/4 cables with no difference. The headphones jack on the front of the FastTrack works fine with the normal level adjustment range, and if I plug in the headphones directly into the line out of my syn, I have sound, quiet (like you would get by connecting headphones to any line out, turntable even) but steady, so the syn must be fine.
Any thoughts?

No takers. Hm. OK. After some more research on the Net it appears to be that all the Fast Tracks suffer from the same problem, which makes me believe that it's not a bug, but a feature of an unexplainable kind. Oh, well, back to my old iMic noisemaker (this one works, it's just screened very poorly, so it picks up all the possible interference, and also makes its own little nasty hiss--this is why I switched to the Fast Track a while ago--so I will need to cut it out with an EQ, again). Hopefully, the EQ surgery will not affect the synthesizer's sound consistency as severely as it use to do with a microphone.

Airport Signal Level

Hi all,
I have a wireless router in my office and things were going great until recently I notice a drop in speed. I checked my airport info and the signal level has dropped three bars. I don't recall making any changes to the router or to any settings.
My question is, what could trigger a drop in signal level? The router is right on my desk so I am pretty sure the distance is not the issue.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Respectfully,
Eric

They should be tunables on your wireless router. For Linksys routers, they are usually under the "advanced" settings of the wireless page.
xmit power is the power level in milliwatts output by your antennas so your airport card can receive transmissions.
the frag threshold is the max packet size used on the wireless network before it is fragmented and split apart, causing network drops and re-transmissions
the beacon is the emission from your wireless router to wireles network cards, sort of like: "who's out there", sometimes, more frequency can mean more reliable transmission, especially if you have neighbors.
You can find lots of info at dslreports.com in their various forums. I have had 0 issues with my settings, and I live in apartment with 15 other ESSIDs surrounding me.

Digital signal level on d4 screen

This one is probably for the Verizon employees who monitor these boards.....
What's an optimal signal power level for a digital channel on the diagnostic screen (d4)? How's 36dB? Pretty good?
Thanks,
Jeff

What is shown on that screen is SNR (signal to noise ratio) and yes 36 dB is good.
However, you and most people are confusing this with signal level or power. Signal level is in dBm, volts, or watts. SNR is a measure of how clean the signal is not how strong it is. You can have 36 dB SNR and huge or small signal - it is simply a ratio of the signal to the noise floor.

Logical level for logical fact table sources

it is clear that for fact aggregates, we should use the Content tab of the Logical Table Source dialog to assign the correct logical level to each dimension.
question is : is it mandatory to assign even for non-aggregates fact tables the logical level for each dimension (which normally should be set to the most detailed level of each dimension) ? is it any known issue if "logical levels"in content tab are not set ?
the reason I'm asking this is a strange bug I have (I'm not going to discuss it here) and then only workaround seems to be NOT setting the logical levels (on content tab) for logical fact table sources.
thank you !

If levels are not set: By default levels are considered as lowest level
It should not matter if you set or not
Generally we set for facts explicitly when we are using Aggregate tables.
Your current issue might be a case by case; I would suggest to check implicit fact, any table mapped to the source to force a join etc
Mark if helps
Let me know how it helps

Unable to get the composite instance for the invocation. This could be because instance has not yet been created or because the audit level for the SOA infra has been set to Off

I am on Oracle 11.1.1.7 BPM suite on W8 64 bit. I can't launch the flow trace and get the error "Unable to get the composite instance for the invocation. This could be because instance has not yet been created or because the audit level for the SOA infra has been set to Off". I have set the audit level to development at the soa-infra>SOA Administration> Common Properties > Audit level set to development and Capture Composite Instance State is Checked.
Can somebody advice.
Thanks

Can you please confirm me the following steps...
Log in to the EM console, Expand soa-infra (soa_server1) , go to the partition where your composite is been deployed, Click on your composite, On the right, click on the dropdown Settings and choose Composite Audit Level. you can choose to set the Audit Level for this composite. If you choose Inherit, it will take the settings to what the server is being set to. Otherwise, we can override it by choosing Off, Production, or Development.
Make sure your setting for that composite is not Off, keep inherit or production or development.
Thanks,

Text data is not displaying at Report level for an Infoobject Item name

Hi All,
Texts data is maintained at Info object level but text information is not displaying at Report level for an object. I have set the property at query level as "Text", but at report level it is displaying key values of the object, not displaying texts information. This problem occured in QA(Quality) system but not replicated in Production system. I have checked all properties at backend and query level and compared the same between QA and Production system didn't find any difference.
Please suggest what might be the cause: at report level it is displaying key values instead of the textual information even text data is mainintained at backend. In production it is displaying textal data for the IO.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Thanks for your valuable information. I have changed the setting under Advanced tab as "Master data" for Access type for results values, but didn't solved the problem still it showing key information for the IO.
In Production system the report displaying texts information for the IO, but in QA its displaying key information. The problem exits only in QA, its working fine in DEv and Production.
As per my understanding might be the issue with Patches will be checking with Basis team on the same.
Please suggest if you have any alternatives to fix the issue.
