Of course the preamps might need a bit of hacking - I wonder how it will
compare to the tascam dr680. For those of us who are still waiting for our
sound devices toy from Father Christmas this might be an interesting
option

Well it's legendary - even before it's been released, so it must be good.

or . it cost less than 2000 euros - so it must be bad.

Re: [Sursound] Hmmm - gamechanger ?

2013-07-14 Thread Marc Lavallée

Here's my good and bad impressions:
- Six channels is good (simultaneous stereo and Ambisonics recording)
- Cheap and good enough (but then, what's "good enough"?)
- No EQ at the inputs is good (to be verified)
  (the capsules on the H2 are slightly EQed, and the EQs are hard wired)
- Only two channels for the interchangeable microphones? 
  (then no possibility for a FOA interchangeable microphone)
- Portable but a bit messy, with two pairs of inputs on each side
That's not so bad for an upcoming product...

We don't know if it's yet another "good enough" product from Zoom, but
after 3 years with a Zoom H2 I got a Yamaha C24, because it's better,
much smaller, and in the same price range.

What I'd like is a recording device as small as possible, with 4
channels, a minimalistic display and a minimal amount of buttons
(only on/off, record, play, and stop). Something hackable. Maybe it
already exist in the form of a plugin device for phones or a small
recording USB module (with 4 channels).

Well, it could be done with fly-leads to two of the fixed-socket channels, 
a bit hacky, but no very big deal.

[Sursound] Zoom H6 (Was Hmmm - gamechanger ?)

Its level controls seem to be analog and can't be easily ganged. So for use 
with TetraMic you'd have to somehow lock the levels down for the four 
channels, send them each a calibrated tone, and then correct them in 
post-production.


Note that the two-XLR expansion kit doesn't provide phantom power.

2013-07-14 Thread Jon Honeyball
One big screwup on the ST350 and 450 from Soundfield is the lack of a tone
generator which is the same at each output. Would make things much easier.

I asked Soundfield for it after I bought the ST350, and they hummed and
hahhed and the did nothing about it. Not that I was surprised, given how
glacial and somewhat sad their software development is.

And their inability to discuss whether I could upgrade my 350 to 450 spec
by changing either the mic unit or the box. They couldn¹t work out I was
happy to buy one unit if that¹s where most of the benefits were, and
couldn¹t shake the idea that I was trying to trade in an item. Which I
wasn¹t. Sigh. Pain in the ass company to deal with, unfortunately.
