Mitch999 « Super precision tool »
Published on 11/29/10 at 03:0010pistes version is rack mountable
The chassis provides 10 tracks, chosen by the buyer.
Mine has 7 tracks with:
mic preamp
pad, phase, phantom power, 3 choices: 48v/T12v / +12 v
EQ HighShelf 8khz / mids semi-para 200 to 8k / 80 hz LowShelf
Low cut from 20 to 500 Hz independent eq switch on / off (still active)
4 for each item individually with pre / post fader
8 out altogether: 4 to + 4 mono mix without pan pot (AL / AR / BL / BR)
selection of the mix by assigning a switch above the fader
Compressor option on the tracks (mine is one)
No master fader to the mix outs, but 4 of the master.
Monitoring headphone socket and external box with complete section.
UTILIZATION
Is a nice little console recording.
Very easy to use at the console,
but with features for broadcast beyond what
located on small consoles usually:
2x D-sub taken back with the same stuff on it:
-Circuit intercom (in / out / alarm / on or off)
-A tension that can trigger / trigger a panel ON AIR
-A 48v power supply (10mA max)
A power supply 18-v and-18v
-A monitoring output (stereo) the same as the headphone I suppose
1x D-sub socket for enclosure monitoring:
the cabinet has stereo 6in (each entry has a split out)
a stereo out (+ 1 meter seen out)
It connects out to HP, and was a selector on the console
select which input you want to listen: an input housing or any mix or pfl / afl Console (9choix sources)
SOUNDS
transparent console
Wide dynamic range:
mild and strong levels sound good without having to adjust the gain
Obviously if you put the max gain with the microphone in the room
next to the instrument to sound with, you will have big breath.
With a microphone positioned (in room or nearby) not breathing.
Frequency range of patient:
the new model (sxvt) is given with a response from 200kHz to 10z!
I do not know if it's the same specifications but there is near.
Accurate sound, not aggressive in the high levels,
pure but not analytical.
With the eq, we get a hint of heat as it likes.
The mix is a sound that allows for freedom!
The compressor does not pump, it is convenient to vote.
OVERALL OPINION
6 years that I use.
If we compare a decision made with her and made a decision with a Midas Venice
which is a small console that everyone knows on a recording of blues, jazz
we notice that the sounds are easier to separate ambient sound mix with Sonosax, there is flexibility, even with a microphone jack misplaced
lets catch up!
It's a great freedom!
While Midas makes aggressive sounds with strong levels, with a lack of
depth: everything seems flat and not well defined.
The soft sounds of loud sounds sound different.
That said, Sonosax is not advisable on a battery-making close to rock: not enough color, not enough slap.
Well the comparison stops there Sonosax-Venice, two price ranges although very different!
On the classic, it's almost scary Sonosax:
it's really as if you were there!
Used semi-pro a budget can afford a small Sonosax.
They are also still maintains it, which is mandatory for good
operation (every 5-10 years re-capper, change some preamp, ...)
For the nine, it is better to be pro, it's rather expensive!
