    My Atomic CLR Neo is dead

    Progress report....1 Andrew Farnham from Independent Music Australia (the Distributor and retailer) today shipped a replacement amp module (possibly two). Great local service and response. Thanks Andrew. My paranoia remains as I have no way of knowing or confirming if these replacement units...

    My Atomic CLR Neo is dead

    Thanks Cragginshred, I did email Tom and he has very promptly replied. I am at this stage confident of some sort of resolution. As I live a long long way away in Australia, I suspect (and it is the right thing logistically) to deal with and get support from the local Australian distributor...

    My Atomic CLR Neo is dead

    Thank you all for your responses and suggestions. Tom King has been in touch in a matter of hours, acknowledging my email to him. He was also sympathetic to my issues and bad luck with my NEOs. He has offered to help. I have suggested as the first option for me to ship both NEO Amp modules...

    My Atomic CLR Neo is dead

    Thanks Callan. I appreciate the kind offer and sentiment. I have sent out comms to start borrowing PA and fold backs. Until I have a clear replacement strategy I have decided to defer any future gigs until I have landed on a more reliable solution.

    My Atomic CLR Neo is dead

    Hi all, I invested in 2 CLR NEOs about a year ago. My experience factually - great sound when they work. !! I must preface this by saying I have had great service from the Australian Distributor who tries his best to uphold customer care on what is a terribly built and unreliable product from...

    Atomic CLR problem

    Me - I would definitely buy any Fractal wedges as I know how thorough the Fractal team are and they would have my money on reputation alone.

    Atomic CLR problem

    Thanks Jazzgtr14. Yes, I agree, they sound killer, if TK can just sort out the reliability. In Australia the dealer now has an arrangement with an old school technical craftsman who no questions asked just replaces components.

    Atomic CLR problem

    So, I have two atomic CLR NEOs. Have had much trouble with them including having to physically send them back to the Australian distributor - thankfully it has not cost me and the distributor Independent Music (Andrew Farnham) has been fantastic. Both my low frequency drivers had a problem. The...

    Adding Sub ?

    Thanks for the suggestion - however, doesn't the sub on/off switch on the CLRs do exactly that - cut the lows going to the CLRs and route the lows to the sub via the link switch on the CLRs ?

    Adding Sub ?

    Ok, so I hooked up the Mackie sub (DLM 12S) straight out of the CLR NEO Link XLR output to the input 1 and 2 of the Mackie sub. Switched the crossover on the sub to "variable" 60 Hz, set the levels right on my compact mixer and gently turned up the master level on the mixer to pure low end...

    Adding Sub ?

    Hi Levipeto, I went out and got the Mackie DML12S Subwoofer. It is apparent there are a number of ways the Atomic NEOs (I have two) can / should be connected to the CLRs. I am seeking some assistance as I have not done this before and want to check before I inadvertently blow up the DLM 12S. My...

    Hi Levipeto, thanks for replying. I found a thread on the Gear Page where a gent has used a Mackie DLM 12" Subwoofer reporting great results when used with two Atomic CLR NEOs. My budget is unto $2000. I just found a Mackie Floor stock model (retails for $2600 Australian Dollars) going for...

    Adding Sub ?

    Hi all, I have two CLR NEOs in stereo for home use mainly. They are fine for guitar. However I also play backing tracks through them to jam with. I understand if I were to add a sub the sub needs to have "matching" cross over networks ?? compatible to the CLR. Can anyone help by suggesting a...

    ATOMIC CLR Neo - Vibration

    Thanks. Both are on their way to me now. The tech did say a few power modules for others had blown. Something wrong with the design ? unclean power ? I am using a Furman power conditioner for the Axe FX and CLRs.

    ATOMIC CLR Neo - Vibration

    Thanks Jazzgrt14 - I have pretty much had most of the problems that one would read about in these forums with the Atomic CLR NEOs. I bought two at huge cost in Australia ($1700 AUD - They are currently out of stock here but retail is now $ AUD 2199). Shocking quality. I must say however that...

    My CLR NEOs for busking

    Thanks all for your help. I went out and got two TRS to XLR cables to go from the Balanced Mixer Outputs L and R. Last question - which brand or device would you recommend as a guitar preamp between the pedal board and mixer. I am mainly a clean tone player. Thanks again.

    My CLR NEOs for busking

    Hi Luke, a little more detail please. Are you referring to or suggesting I get balanced cables i.e. how do I go from an unbalanced 1/4" instrument cable to a balanced XLR into the CLRs ? In anticipation of your response I shall go google to see if these exist. Thanks

    So, one of the reasons I got a CLR NEO is to take it out for an occasional busking gig. Its light, 500 watts of digital power and a built in amplifier.
