Are you sur it gives you balanced outs?  The impression I got from the manual was that it only changed the level.


I'm pretty positive Steve said it would balance the outputs.  I know I've been using them with balanced inputs with no problems that I've noticed, but then again, I'm a fool Very Happy, so anything is possible.  I need to give Steve a call anyway to get help with a Sound Workshop Series 30 he gave me that's still in pieces.  I'll ask him about that mod when I speak to him.  

Be well,

Just out of curiosity, how does the SOLO stack up? It seems to be a cheaper board.

Depends on which version of the SOLO we are talking about, the SOLO Logic which is VCA automated is an alright board, it was the first non-modular Soundtracs but it still had a discrete transistor pre front-end, sounds alright, EQ is good. The normal SOLO only had MIDI mutes and no meterbridge.

The SOLO evolved from the Megas which is great sounding board... I personally prefer the modular PC-MIDI/MR/MXR boards.

Yeah, the lack of meter bridge definately got me. I think I'll hold out for a topaz.

I was looking at the solo, the lack of a meter bridge really sucks on any desk.  


Peace,

Hey sorry for the delay in my response.  I got to speak with Steve the other day.  You are correct.  The mod does NOT give you balanced outputs. However, you do get the +4 output from the direct outs.

Hollywood, Ca.

Well, it's a nice drive this time of year.  And you're welcome to spend the night here when you come thru.  These consoles don't travel well, so unless the packing is done really well, it won't survive the usual carriers.  Take a few days off, leave on a Friday morning and drive till you get tired.
