This thread has taken a big turn since I last posted and I took a lot of heat over it. I suspect I will once again take a lot of heat here, but let me start with this....
The Chinese - Well, it seems they will do what they want to do. The picture posted of the black panel, #3 is a photo of the PMI Switcher. Anyone who has been at a trade show at our booth who has listened to our gear will recognize that panel, and for anyone who will be at NAMM next week, I will show you. So they do take other designs they build for companies and look to sell them to others by making a simple change...but let me be clear...It is they that do the change.
I had a call from Brian at Chameleon Labs the other day. He has been reading all these posts and we discussed a good deal about the Chance unit(The 797 clone of the CL unit) Chameleon Labs had an agreement on this unit as well, along with other units. I hope Brian will come on to this thread and respond as I asked him to do.
Lastly, you guys are getting a lot of misinformation. That is why I first posted my comments. So without calling anyone anything...if you guys want to know to know the truth about this unit, I am happy to tell you. If you have questions, I will answer them as I know the entire history of the units you are getting.
As for the rest of you that just want to call me names and tell me I have no idea on what is going on and that I am out to get Chance...well how about you lay back a couple of pages. If it is civil, then Brian IMO will post here. He just does not want to take a beating from you guys either. Let those who want to ask...ask.
You all can believe what you want to believe, that is fine by me. I can not comment on any microphones, other than I have all the manufacturer catalogs and those mics are all stock units sold out of the catalog. What I can answer is questions and the history of the mic amp. I can tell you how it all happened and who really designed them.
If you all do not want the truth and answers, then tell me. I will delete this post and again, go away.
Let me say one thing here. I am not out to sell you anything. I am not out to stop any group buy. My motive is to get you the truth which I have said was not done on the origin of the unit, who designed it, what transformers it used etc...
With that said, I will either wait for your questions and answer them, or if you want, I will go away.
