( The Control room of a Swiftlet farm)
“James I am Mr.T. I want to buy Amp from you. My Amp seems not functioning. What is your recommendation? ”
“Mr.T how big is your farm? How many storeys is your farm?”
“It is about 20x75f a 3 sty farm.”
“Mr.T, Currently how many Amps are you using?”
“Just 1 Amp.”
“You mean 3sty using just 1 Amp?”
“Yes James. All wires go to 1 Amp. I don’t even know which wire connected to which floor.”
“Whose idea was this?”
“My Sifu and consultant‘s Idea”.
This happened to Mr.T ‘s Swiftlet farm. He is having problem now as some of the tweeters are not functioning and he doesn’t know which connections it goes to. Even he changed the tweeters there is still no sound. It could be the wiring connections. It could be the Amp ….and could be more problems.
I just don’t understand why most Swiftlet farms are using only one Amp. It’s all because of cost saving. These people are charging ten of thousand for their services yet when it comes to sincerity and generosity there is none.
How much is an Amp? Just few hundred ringgit. They are charging ten of thousand when it comes to Amps they don’t even want to give you an extra.
Having all wires of 3 floors running to 1 Amp would make the life span of the Amp short. This is due to overload and unstable flow of sound wave.
This is very common I have seen many swiftlet farms applying this so called technique. The reason being is “my Sifu says so”. What your Sifu doesn’t want you to know is that he is saving the Amp money for his pocket.
Ideally 1 floor should have 1 Amp. In the even one of the Amps malfunctioned the farm still has it internal sound running on the other 2 Amps. The external sound should have an individual Amp.
There are many farms done by well known Sifus utilizing 1single Amp for all. Worst of all, the Left channel for External sound and the Right channel for internal. Cited this is a technique for better sound. Yes technique for better saving money.
When too many wires going into an Amp with capacity overload this would cause short circuit. There would be interference between the 2 channels and the unstable sound wave would make the sound distorted.
Like Mr.T’s farm the whole farm without sound when the Amp malfunctioned. If he had more than one Amp then he wouldn’t have this problem. Somehow with such technique of saving money of their own pockets these Sifus still a big demand by many newbies.
There is no magic or miracle in Swiftlet farming as long you understand and know how to utilize the gadgets available it would definitely helps your farms to attract more Swiftlets.
