Published on 06/14/12 at 10:164-channel model of the famous Twin-Finity 710. Each channel offers the same features as the latter, I will not dwell on them. Which differentiates them:
- Each channel can be recovered on an optical digital output, 8 channels
- In addition to the 4 channels, 4 line inputs on Jack 6.35 on the back (thus serving as a DI), recoverable from the optical output
- Has two optical outputs, especially when using sample rate exceeding 48 kHz.
UTILIZATION
Usage is very simple. I branch:
- Mics: sm58, RE20, GT20. With the Q knob that regulates the amount of use of analog circuits / lights, I always find appropriate settings,
- Low: using the Hi-Z inputs on the front. Very convincing for a Home-studiste like me!
- Guitar: troubleshoots and it all depends on the quality of the guitar, his microphones ..
Note:
- The apparatus comprises a protection system for ignition, avoiding peaks output, but ... not when it is turned off!
- Hi-Z inputs on the front panel has a switch that detects the internal wiring of a jack, which has the effect of the bypass came back: perfect, BUT this switch operates from the first position "down" the jack. This is frankly a detail but I'd rather be able to plug my jacks in the first position to act without this switch .. short! (Make me a PM if I was not clear ..)
I do not know if a manual is necessary ..
Another point, not least because it is the argument that made me spend nearly 2000 euros (still): I am in a home studio, and I wanted to avoid plugging / unplugging my appliances. Given the versatility of the 710, I turned to this model.
Then a simple calculation: I needed two 700 (approx.) x 2 + 1400, both the buy and 4-710 enjoy more of the A / D.
Finally on the use, let me say that this preamp also has two "channels" on each distinct voice (which I called channel before sorry!): An XLR line and an XLR microphone, with a select switch, which lets you toggle between the two.
Really handy in Home Studio that you can connect 4 microphones and 4 show two keyboards.
SOUND QUALITY
The preamp: nothing to say quality level. This is far from clear, we must take time to compare with other brands / models.
The D / A converter: I have little experience in this area, but I was no difference between those of my Fireface UFX and 4-710.
OVERALL OPINION
I have this pre amp for 1 year and am fully satisfied, both for the comfort it provides in home studio, as its sound quality.
My EXP: I come from far away (I can not even write it!): An ART preamp ... humhum, day and night. The same comparison is useless ..
Accuracy is very important to synchronize the clock (or sampling frequency) with other devices, including the sound card.
