Actually I did speak to them about that, I could get a 24 input version @ 50K.
That would be an economy of scale price as they told me there was a order from a film company that wanted 15 to 20 units with out the pres.
I am really thinking about that, Mike even said he could add another eq point on the desk eq module.

Hhmmmm!

The "final solution" to the microphone "problem"?



Really Mr. Wittman, between jokes like this and the fact that you ARE the Martini Nazi, aren't you afraid you're giving people the wrong impression? Not very PC I'm afraid.



Pleease take note that he did not state "Ze "final solution" to ze microphonen "problemen"?".

On the original question...

For what its worth (ie from one random chooch on the internet) I actually wasn't that impressed on the one occasion that I had to use a Wunder mic pre/eq. It didn't sound that awesome and seemed to have some technical issues (noise, noisy switches, etc- and they had only taken it out of the box about a week before...).

In all likelyhood, given Wunder's apparent good reputation, it may have been a fluke unit. My .02

Maybe it's already been done, but I'm waiting for a desk that will actually be able to use PT's automation to control it's own analog guts...

It shouldn't be too hard, just write a simple plug to use on each track that only has the boards automation functions on it.... voila.

That way one could take their entire PT mix, and dump it directly to this desk, and simply copy the fade and pan automations over into the analog world...

Of course this leaves eq and dynamics....

And just for fun why is it mics can't be designed to send line level to the console


You'd need a gain control on the microphone, else the "line level" would vary with the source.  A kick drum's a lot louder than a flute so you need to compensate.

Quote:

would it not eliminate some of the noise and interference issues with the very weak "mic signal".


Sure, but then you'd get complaints about how the preamp built into the mic sucks.

Quote:

Would phantom power be sufficient to drive such a design.


Depends on the design.

-a


Actually, in the old days, that is the way many (Neumanns, etc) were made.  Super hot outputs that fed a line level mixer.  You can bypass the preamp with several mics made today, as they have their own power supply, etc, etc.

It's only been a literal few years that "other than console" pre's have been any real option - at least some of the mentioned people didn't use them 'cause they didn't have them to use. Now that we have the option... who wants to go back to a "base device"(A console, for instance.) that "does what it does and that's all it does" - no matter how "well" it does it?

Many of us, as of this moment, haven't used ANY "console" for many years - if ever...... no need.

I know! How about an excellent console with "completely uncolored" pre's, for when that is good, + inputs for your "special" pre's?

No! Wait! Flash of inspiration! How about a thing that is "just a BASE, a controller", ya'know? No NOTHING actually IN IT! Just a gadget that you add whatever you want of whatever you want??? Oh - Wait! I forgot! That's what we have NOW, right? Computer/plugins/hardware boxes/old tape machines/any pre/amp/speaker, whatever, along with "pseudo consoles" -controllers - whatever we want, whenever we want it, paying only as much as we need to get only what we need. And now we DON'T LIKE IT, right?

Manufacturers ALWAYS want something new, domething different(At least something the "current crop" of folk don't remember....?), something "fun", to keep sales up. Right? And, there are always customers itching to go along...

Correct me where I'm wrong, I'm just trying to keep up with the program here......

TG, You make a lot of great points there.  I find I have different desires at different moments in the studio.  The one thing I realize for sure, without doubt, I WILL never be finished in making purchases to complete this studio. NEVER!  I have a DAW, have digital recorders, have a digital console, have a control surface, have outboard pre's, have converters, on & on & on. Yet I'm currently desiring to go back to getting an analogue console!
Boy could a good audio Shrink have a field-day with me!

Given the bucks, I'd love to have an old console, the old tape machines, the old outboard gear, the old mics, etc., etc., etc.  ALONG WITH the "old tech" to keep them working(Quite a job)! But, only, I suppose, because I'm old... For real? Too much work! As it is, a friend has a "basement full"(So he says?) of analog tape machines from Ampex, etc. I've never even visited to look at them...

I was looking at the "New Gates(Not really Gates) Sta-Level", in the Mix Magazine/Vintage King, insert the other day(Cool stuff, great job on the insert!). "Gee, I remember when we used it and UREI's, etc., because that's all there was!" Ick! We were sooo glad(At least in the radio biz?) when Mr. Orban came along with his cool, new devices!  Fun to think about though. At the time I had no idea what these things even did, or if they were ever working "right", let alone that any of them might be worth duplicating someday? I wonder... even now... about all of those things?

well, tonelux shadowmix faders do that. audio goes out of PT prefader, and the fader moves are read  by the analog faders. it's a start.
