The Topaz is probably my least favorite board in the Soundtracs range due to its reliability and ruggedness, but provided you treat them with care they will last you a lifetime. At least they sound good, close to the larger PC Midi and Megas desks. |

He's just saying that it's at the very bottom of a great range of Soundtracs boards. Get the 32 x 8 if you can. |

Thanks for the post back Harvey, though I did get the point of Zoesch's post. Why do you reccomend the 32x8, besides the bigger is better? My current setup is a 001 with an alesis ai-3(yes its sad, I know.) and an eight track tascam reel. Thus only 24 tracks. Should I plan for upgrade? Or maybe some other reason I don't see cause I'm a newb. |

I have one of the 24x8's and I love it. If you need help with any analog Soundtracs service (i'm noticing you're in the U.S.), the guy to speak with is Steve Magalnick. If you need any information or just want to speak with him, he's the Soundtracs authorized U.S. tech. PM me and I'll send his info your way. The cool thing about the Topaz line is that there is a little mod you can do that's outlined in the owner's manual that'll convert all of your I/O (with the exception of the inserts) to +4dB balanced, where as most ship from the factory with the direct out, tape returns, etc. set to -10dB unbalanced. Steve can help you with that as well. Let me know if there's anything else about the console you'd like to know and I'll do my best to help you. -Sean |

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

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

Would anyone know where I could find a meter bridge for my Topaz 32. I really would like to find one. "Rocc" |

I just bought a 32x8 board. I have a new problem. I need to get it to me. What the best most economical way of doing so? |

... those who know about them and about modding them never let go of them. . |

I called Jim Williams at audio upgrades about modding the master section. I know J. Hall had this done on his Amek. Anyone have any experience with actually modding this board? He's wanting 250 to do this. Worth while venture? |
