This unit is *identical* to the Sound Devices MixPre - SD makes them and Shure simply rebrands them. It's damn near identical - maybe actually identical - to an MP2 in sonic qualities. Same warm transformer sound as the MP2 - I couldn't tell the difference between the two and picked up this one because I got it for a bit less than an MP2. A little bit of the powder-coating has rubbed off on the front edges of the box protecting the dials, but other than that - superb condition. Pics available by request. Two microphone preamp 48v or 15v phantom power Adjustable brightness level meters Internal AA power External 5-14VDC power Includes locking external DC plug (just plug, not cable) XLR or mini-stereo output 80 or 160 Hz HPF Limiter For a comparison of MixPre v. MP2 features: http://www.sounddevices.com/matrix.htm As with the MP2, the front knobs can be removed so they're better protected from accidental bumps in stealth/low profile situations (see pics). ===================================================================== $450 + $5 shipping/insurance (Any stealthers or others interested in a package of FP24 + modSBM-1 I'm willing to work out a deal.)

Subject: FS: Oktava MC (MK) 012's Factory Matched Hyper + Card Date: Sat, 07 Jun 2003 22:33:13 +0000 FS: Oktava MC (MK) 012's Factory Matched Hyper + Card I've only used these mics a few times, in fact i've only used the card caps once. I am the 2nd owner and they were bought new in Dec 2002. Great sounding mics for the price but I am looking to upgrade. If you've just been using stealth mics like csb's or dsm's and want to make the step up this is a good first choice. MK 012's bodies with the 10 db pads. The caps are factory matched both hypers and cards. Mics come in small plastic cases. They also come with not so great metal mic clips. Digital photos available upon request. Price is negotiable, make me an offer and we'll try and work something out. I'd like to get this done soon though as I have some shows to tape in less then a month and would need to sell these before new mics :) _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ------------------------------ From: "Gary Davis" Subject: RE: Dropouts on SBD Reply-to: g@hoxnet.com Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2003 20:45:19 -0700 >The dropouts are complete silence in both channels and they last >around a 1/3 of a second. What you describe is very unusual and not characteristic of soundboard recording, dat recording, cable problems, etc. I'd just hope it doesn't happen again. But in the meantime, you can test most of your rig by plugging your soundboard cable into the output of a pro deck (if you have one) or as much of the cable/attenuator rig as you can, and record some music on your dat machine. Try wiggling the cable at each connector. You can listen through headphones to the DAT recorder output as you do this, or just watch the meters. Then see if the tape playback has any more problems than the recording. There are some outputs and some circumstances on a soundboard where you might lose your signal, particularly if you use the Headphone output and the soundman uses the Solo buttons. But the results wouldn't be as you describe them. --Gary ------------------------------ From: Eric Eckberg Subject: FS: Pair of BPS-1's phantom power supplies Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2003 23:13:08 -0700 (PDT) I went to Nak's and no longer need these phantom power supplies.

Im having problems with the sound on the quite parts sounds fine but when a loud part comes in it sounds like it is being compressed down, making things sound all over the place. Apack has a dialog normalisation box which is set to -21 by default, Im guessing this is the problem but when I set it to -1 which its the highest it will go it takes away the compression sound problems but it makes the whole audio level to low. Is there anyway I can just make an AC3 which sound exactly like my wave file??? Cheers Gareth __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Western Swing? Bluegrassy gypsy stuff? Old Merle Haggard or Texas Playboys tunes? If so, PLEASE PLEASE go tape the Red Stick Ramblers. They are taper-friendly, although www.redstickramblers.com doesn't really say as much. Speak with Charles the guitar player or the fine gentleman pickin' Mandolin and either will be glad to help you get rigs in the door at some of the less taper-friendly places they might play. Their tourdates are on their website, and I won't repeat them for bandwidth, but they're going to be heading out west for a bit, after the current NE swing, then back to their homebase of LA and TX. They put on a fun show, not much talk between songs, and they're hellaciously good musicians. They are a 6 piece, featuring guitar, of the slightly electrified variety, twin fiddles, mandolin, double bass and drums. Their current cd [ new one due out in august-ish? ] says "file under authentic gypsy cajun swing" which is pretty accurate, really. It's fun, mostly acoustic music. I can't pay your cover or anything, I'm just a fan who got hooked at Merlefest and would like to see more RSR shows in circulation.

And of course you need to allow extra sized CDs in the expert options, but you knew that one.. :):):) Thomas mailto:TaWulf@wulfware.de ------------------------------ From: Malcolm Hathaway Subject: RE: M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Sound Card Date: Sun, 08 Jun 2003 08:21:48 -0400 Hey there, I don't have the M-Audio card you're talking about, but here's a few ideas... You may be clipping as the signal enters the sound card. Is there a separate control app for the sound card itself? If so, try turning "that" down Also, try that -10 db pad you mentioned. The other option is to build an adjustable stereo pad to put between the preamp and the sound card, out of a two channel potentiometer. I did this for my CD player to go direct into my amp. All you do is tie pot "in" to an rca connector, pot "out" (the "slider" of the pot, this is the thing in the schematic of the pot that has an arrow on it) to rca out, and tie the "other" connector to ground. The "other" connector is the low side of the pot's resistor, low being defined as the end you didn't use for the input. For ground, just use the grounds of the rca connectors, which will all be tied together, and will be grounded through the rca cables.... To be extra careful, you might stick a small resistor in between the the low side of the pot resistor and ground, so that you don't have to worry about shorting your input directly to ground if you push the pot all the way around... But most equipment is protected against this these days.. (right?) If somebody knows why this will blow up, or have other bad results, feel free to comment..

The satellite Sony Service Center that was local (Paramus, NJ) has closed, so I have no idea where to go for repair. I would like to hear from anyone that has experience with any of the so-called Sony Authorized repair shops in Northern NJ. Specifically 1) Quality TV Paramus, Nj 2) Frontier Enterprises Paramus, NJ 3) State TV, Bogota, NJ. This is what the Sony website lists - please email privately if you can provide any info or first hand experience.

The exact taping scene isn't known at this point due to Buddy being on the bill but it is assumed at this point that stealth will be required, particularly if you want to record both acts.
