I have come to the conclusion that I will never have time to do location recording, ever again :( So I am selling my entire portable rig.

On the block right away, prices do not include shipping (actual charges only):

Rane MX22 Crossover $75
Rane MQ302 30 band graphic EQ (I rebuilt the PSU and repaired some broken sliders from when I got it) $100
Furman AR1215 voltage regulator $250
dbx 262 compressor $75
Mid Atlantic 4u rack drawer $95
Oz Audio HR4 headphone amp $125

Also I will be selling my HD24 once I have everything transferred off of it, probably in a couple of weeks.

Also for anyone reasonably local in East NC or Tidewater VA, I have the 12u/12u slant top MV enclosures rack that held it all, a bit worn but still very solid, $100.

I wish I could pick up that rack!

I want one of those. But I'm sure shipping would be too high. Rats again!

How much are you going to be asking for the HD24 when you're done with it?

Yeah I don't even want to pack it up, it would be expensive. It wasn't too bad to get shipped to me in the first place, but the guy that makes them was obviously set up for that and I am not.

I haven't priced the HD24, but it will be whatever they go for used, I ain't holding out for any price or anything. It includes two Seagate barracuda drives, I forget how big but I'll look, and also I think I replaced the fan with a quiet unit (with blue LEDs!) Blue LEDs are like black CD-Rs of case fans :D ;)
 
I own the oz headphone amps and it rocks. It will get blistering loud.

125 is a good buy!

In fact, it will output 28VAC at no load.

Don't ask me how I know this :eek:

Oh yeah, I didn't do that with this unit, I did that with the one in my studio, which I'm keeping. So no worries for you!
 
What were you using to montior the output of the HD24? Some kind of line mixer or regular mixer?

I ask because I just bought an HD24 for remote recording and I am looking for a line mixer to playback the recording on location.

I used to have an A&H MixWiz 16:2, obviously that couldn't fully monitor the HD24, but generally I was recording a show while I did live sound, so I had no need to monitor, and I never ran more than 16 tracks.

I sold that a while back, and I designed a 2u 24 channel summing box with level controls only (although pan could be done), I designed a phantom-powered active mixer stage which I thought was fairly clever, that way I didn't need to build a power supply, and the monitor mix could feed back into one or two channels of a smaller mixer, say something with 12 mic inputs, and 8 inputs could be routed to the HD24 for tracking (if you haven't figured it all out yet, the HD24 can virtually assign input groups to all tracks).

But portability was most important to me. If you want full 24 in/24 out, you'll need a big ass mixer.

Alesis used to make I think an 8 channel line mixer, you could chain a few of those . . .
 
Leddy,,,I'll sell ya a Mackie 24X8 Console cheap that will work great for ya ,,,then I can buy this HD24 from Mshilarious. :D :D

Peace

Thanks, since it's a portable rig, I'm looking at something as small as possible. I will not be mixing through it, just on-location review.

I shudder to think that the B....inger 1602 may be the ticket. I don't want to support them in any way, but $99 for 16 inputs & a headphone jack... :o
 
Hey, I know!

You could bring the rack to JF, then I could take it home from there!

Well, you can't blame a guy for trying.
 
I run 3 - RX1602's and they are pretty transparent.

As for noise...not really bad as long as you keep the channel gains below 1-2 O'clock.

Just turn up whatever you have going into them up to get a higher level if you need it.

Been running them for 2-3 years and not a blip from any one of the 3.

And yes...ya can't beat 8 stereo channels for 99 bucks.

Just my 2 cents......

Peace....Ron
 
Not a nibble on any of this stuff yet . . . :(

Also, I forgot, I have an Audiophile 192 that I bought thinking I was going to get some Protools project, but that never happened . . . $125.
 
Speck makes a 4 rack space line mixer (32 channels I think) and Mackie used to make one also.
