ADT looks bad ass, is it?

[soupking]

I recently posted a thread in regards to looking for additional transparent EQ with limited rack space. I would've just added to it, but I'm really curious about this one brand now.

They look extremely flexible and well-made, and not to mention $$$. They are also colored which I like intuitively since I'm blind (not totally).

They look like new-wave Telefunken modules or something. Being a v72 freak, I have to say I'm salivating a bit.

Has anybody used ADT 700 modules at all?

I haven't used the modules at all but a guy on here named "samc" has spoken of them before. I was just on there website trying to put together a console out of their modules. Then I went to the U.S. price list. The stuff looks like a great idea if you live in Europe. Maybe they will get a dealer over here. ADT has a great concept.

What are we talking about here? Is someone making V72 copies that are affordable?

Got a link?

I don't think so. I think they are just ADT's own designs. But I was mainly looking at the mixing solutions. Here you go:

Nah, they just look like distant cousin. Maybe it's because they're German.

They look to be more on the clean side rather than colored. They're EQ modules and everything else look so well thought out and designed.

I'd like to get a mini-mixer made by those people since I tend to like main mixer clean and keep color in my outboard.

I have used the V700. It is bad ass. No doubt. Extremely musical. Fast and punchy. Nasa build quality.
Highy recommended.

The stuff looks pretty cool. I wish their modules were 500 series compatible. Those comps look very interesting, esp the "voice compressor."

They're not clones, but they use the German broadcast color standard for the knob colors as well. Indeed clean sound.

Totally, I dig the colors. Very distinct. I get turned off by board that have sections all in one color. It's really vague. I think one should be able to EQ by color, and not have to read the fine print.

Heh, you know a brand of equipment must have a certain caliber of quality when 2 moderators of the high end section bother to make positive comment.

Were the pieces you used EQ/Dyn? Or was it the Mixing modules?

I was looking at building a 32 channel mixer using the V777 and the S721 into one of there faders for each channel. Then I realized there was no insert switch on either module. After a while i started pricing these things for a U.S. purchase and realized I could get a Daking with that money. They look like an awesome solution if one has the funds.

Product looks nice... I would love to hear something... man does their web site need some work...





So how much does an EQ module go for? Didn't see anything on the site about it.

the V700 series has me foaming at the mouth
how's the high end? sort of crystal, or more silver or eehmm ?
please elaborate
(sorry for the vague question)

Tell me about it. You don't hear about these guys much, but with clean being the thing these days, something tells me these guys are going to be the sh!t.

Hell, they already are. I can't afford anything but the toolkit right now.

I'd be stoked just to have a couple channels of their integrator EQs. What's awesome is that they compartment everything seamlessly in so many ways. They could build a mixer in an outboard display. Imagine that, one outboard for clean, the other for color.

Seriously awesome stuff. If I get anything after my Midas it's an ADT system.

Yeah, that's probably why you haven't heard of them.

I'd buy there 5-band parametric before a Portico though regardless of price.

And you could fit a stereo pair in 1U. Brilliant. It's like if Lego and Mercedes Benz started a company to make pro audio modules.

I somehow stumbled upon them in this site looking for EQ alternatives to my Midas conundrum.
Now I need to go beat myself senseless to make enough money to buy these things.

Ta-ta!

That may be true for some but definitely not for me.

I am moving more and more each day in the opposite direction.

Which means not buying any new gear but older things with lots of character.

Honestly, me too. But not at a mixing level. Only in my outboard. But I'm buying a LOT of outboard these days. Shit, I even bought a Pultec mixer just for extra tubey leverage in my little studio before hitting the mixer. I can't complain.

The web site is indeed highly confusing, but here are the price lists for their modules and frames:

ADT is high quality. Mr. Juengling (ADT owner) is a very freindly person, who will help you out at each of you questions. I was always impressed by its detailed informations. I havent worked with ADT outboard, but the 5MT desks are great.

Gerd Jüngling knows A LOT about audio. ADT standards are like Studer's plus more! Real high end, incredible features, clean but great sounding, full modular. Gerd is indeed very friendly, answers every question with lot of details -- not the kind of "insulter-marketing" aimed to hardrockers. OK it aint cheap but it's worth every penny.

The modular small high end live mixer (TM300 I guess, now shipping AFAIK) is a 4U framed 8ch(trafo-pres, dir out +line path and limiter)/4buss(2mast+2aux) plus 2 more slots compatible with the ToolMod 2U's and 4U's (eq, comp, gate, ...). It is nothing less than a killer portable gig. About €7000 (not sure) for 8 pres, frame, psu, master (no ToolMod add).

Yeah web site is very confusing and need some serious work...

Just drop Gerd an email, and you'll see what happens.

Heh, maybe I could build him a site re-design and he could cut some cost. That's the thing, I wish I could afford it. I'd sell my Midas, but I'd still need 5 grand just to get 8 channels. If it were like 2 or 3, I could maybe swing it. But that's just too much of a stretch. I have too many repairs to deal with.
