Location Recording gear-

I have used the Denecke forever- (well for about 5 years) It is an absolute wonder of engineering- the greatest people to talk to too.

The AD20 is an interesting bit of kit- It is extremely affordable (but not "cheap" in any way whatsoever) It has unreal built in and non-defeatable limiters and runs for a good long time on a single 9v battery. It kicks butt.

I also use their 2 channel Phantom supply which gets the same comments as above.

The only problem with it is that if you power large diaphragm condensers, It eats up batteries pretty quick- With my Sanken CSS-5 or my MKE2 lavs they will go for a whole day on 1 9v.

I use them with a Tascam DAP-1 dat and have been making a good living with them-

I did however just buy a Fostex FR2 which I think is the bees knees.
I will have to see if it is as good as the Denecke for recording guns and stuff though...

I have pretty much weaned myself from the Nagra now...


cheers!
