Not arguing with the figures, just stating empirical findings. Will see if I can find details of the two machines at some point. Ditched one manufacturer because of poor quality control, so may just have been unlucky. John Sent from my iPad On 5 Nov 2013, at 22:41, Fons Adriaensen

SurroundZone2 is not too bad, either. Not quite as versatile as Harpex, but a definite upgrade on version 1, and you can't argue with the price. As to the Mk 2 mic, I did enquire about the cost of upgrading the existing ST450 control unit, but was quoted just under £2,000.00 exc. VAT, which is

Sadly, I'm sitting in a church on the other side of town making my own surround recording of works by Nick and Tony Bicât, so will miss it. Impressed with what I've heard so far, though. If anyone makes a recording, I'd love a copy. Hope it all goes well and thanks for putting the test

Actually, if we’re talking about the track I used in the demo, it should indeed be Voodoo Chile, as that’s how it’s spelled on the UK release of Electric Ladyland. Actually, on the album, it’s Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) and it does need to be that track, as opposed to the longer Voodoo Child.

Mine (pre-ordered for some small amount) arrived a couple of days ago and I’ve got it hooked up to my MacBook via a suitable USB adapter and an old Apple keyboard extension cable. At first, I couldn't get a sensible signal out of it, but then discovered that it needs to be connected via USB3,

Jamie, Just a note about the HMRC import charges rip-off: someone looks at the declared insurance value of the microphone and charges VAT on that, plus a handling charge. You have to spend time on the phone explaining that to the drones who answer and then ask for the matter to be escalated to

Even worse for connections, though: 4 XLRs and 4 TA3s - I had a six-way version made up for my 788 when I had a DPA 5001which was rather nice, but not cheap. Those multi-pin Lemo connectors are expensive. But if you’re going for the Schoeps set up, what’s a couple of thousand bucks or so

Steve, The SD 788 can indeed link all eight channels, and a lot of other variations as well, except for one which I sometimes need - two sets of M/S linking. Still, can’t have everything. Cheers, John > On 19 Oct 2020, at 20:56, Steven Boardman wrote: > > Can the 788 gang all preamps?
