One amazing thing about that pre, is it can put out +32 into 150 ohms with less than .1%thd. It does have defineable color, but it's amazingly clean.
We still have a very limited number of MP-24,s left, if you know anyone who wants some.
If your MM-71,s are not yet racked, come on by and we can show you lots of options to pump those critters into full function recording strips. |
Hey Ken,
That's me. The guy whose truck broke down in your driveway. Luckily I had you and my tech friend right on the spot. Talk about dumb luck.
Good to hear from you. I hope things are going well for you at QE. I might actually be interested in the MP-24's myself. Actually the first ones I had I bought from a producer by the name of Chris Ron...something or other. I don't actually have any mm-71's. I saw Dave over at Studio Electronics was selling some on eBay, but at had a few questions about them regarding width, racking, transformers, etc. I'm eventually going to get 2 more brown channels of the pres. I'm not sure if I'm going to go the full length with the EQ or not. Probably will, but I've got some debts to slay. Hopefully towards the end of the year I'll be shopping again. I need two more channels to round out 4 for recording drums. Either way, I'll be talking to you to rack them.
You're right, those LA-24 channels are incredibly clean, but they're not dry or dull by any means. They're like a sharper version of my v72's or something.
Take care,
