I live within a day shipping of Demeter. That's what you get for living in Brooklyn
Then again, certainly takes my Foderas a lot longer to get here...
First I get to play each Monique.I play the Line Out through an amp and cabinet and then through a headphone amplifier for the Balanced XLR Output. Nobody else plays.
Nothing goes out of here to a U.S. customer until it has been running perfectly for at least 24 hours. This is in addition to the initial post build testing. If the customer is outside the U.S. it is 48 hours.
The additional 24 hours for International customers is simply to respect the additional cost they must pay for shipping and customs - a substantial amount. I don't think anything has ever failed in that second 24 hour span, but it makes me feel better closing up the shipping container.
These bench tests are active tests with signal all the way through. Visual with tone generator and O'scope at the start and at the end. All voltage levels are monitored and recorded for each unit. All controls are monitored and recorded. Output levels are monitored and recorded as well.
Last thing before Monique leaves, I get to play again. As anyone who has come by the shop can tell you, I don't play well, but it is my shop.![]()
Where's part 3 at?![]()
Didn't they teach you not to end a preposition with a sentence?
