    Swissonic Converters clicking after several hours operation

    I use the Swissonic AD mk2 converters and the sound quality is fantastic, but lately I've noticed that after several hours the unit begins to produce clicks that get worse and worse. If I power down and let the unit cool down..it goes away. I use the Swissonic's clock to keep my RME Multiface...

    Best DI for bass recording

    Would it be worth getting a Sansamp Bass Driver for recording direct bass if I already have a Langevin DCV? Do you guys think I'd get better results going from a Sansamp through the Langevin, or just the DI on the DVC ONLY? I know it's pretty subjective, but I'm interested in the opinions of...

    Class A electronics

    What exactly does "Class A" mean.....I mean as apposed to Class D...or any other class. I see a lot of manufacturers use this as a marketing buzzword, but how does that translate into the real world. I can't really find specific info on google about Class A electronics, so any links would be...

    RNC / Avalon M5 / Swissonic AD24 balancing question

    In my current signal chain I am using a Swissonic AD24 converter. It ONLY has XLR balanced inputs. I also have an RNC, which is an unbalanced compressor. If I bought the Avalon M5 mic pre and used the RNC for compression during tracking, how would I balance the RNC so I could use it with the...

    I'm going to buy one of these two units. I'll be tracking lots of vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar......everything except drums, bass and piano with the whichever unit I choose. I've read that the Great River ME-NV1 was specifically designed to produce a lower noise floor which would...

    DMP3 hums.....and it's not because it doesn't know the words....

    When I engaged the phantom power (and crank the gain at about halfway) on my DMP3 I can hear a low level (and low freq) hum. It's barely audible, but after stacking a few tracks, it becomes more obvious....especially in quieter acoustic passages. When I use it without phantom power it's...

    Attention: RME Multiface users! Word Clock question coming your way...

    I recently purchased an RME Multiface/PCI card package and a Swissonic AD24 unit. Both have respectable clocks. The question is, which unit should I use as the Master to get the tightest possible connection? At this time, these are the only two units I need to clock, so I can't really justify...

    Can someone explain to me the following...

    From Swiss Sonic's website: "True 24 bit 7’th order delta-sigma ADCs with 64x oversampling." How does this affect sound quality?

    Does the RME Multiface ADAT input transmit all 24 bits?

    I realize the PCI card is based on the Hammerfall Project (it's ADAT in IS full 24 bit), but can anyone confirm that the ADAT input on the Multiface is full 24 bit also...and not only 20 bit? I can't think of why this would not be 24 bits, but you never know....unless you know. I want to buy a...

    Delta 1010 vs. Delta1010LT

    I realize there's a breakout box for the Delta 1010 only, but is there a noticeable different in the sound quality of these two cards? I imagine the conversion takes place in the breakout box (and that would be better), but would a computer really generate that much noise. There's a three...

    Guitar Cab mic :Sennheiser e 609 Silver vs Studio Project B1

    These mics are both on the same ballpark in terms of price. Obviously, the Shure SM57 is the most widely used/most popular choice, but I was just wondering what you guys would pick between these two choices for micing a guitar cab (clean and crunch). Simmons

    RODE NTK / Voicemaster Pro or Great River ME-1NV

    I going to purchase a pre amp next week. It will either be the Focusrite Voicemaster Pro or the Great River ME-1NV. I realize there's price difference and I realize the VM pro is pretty much a one trick pony....but it's a very fucking important trick. The vocals must shine and this is the...
