I print into a new track any audio that passed through outboard gear, and label it as such.

Good idea. I wish I'd been doing that two years ago.

I also do the console > stereo track + export file thing.

+1 on 642. Had one, and a 622. The 622 was probably needing some work, but it was noisy and had very low headroom. If I'd been in the market for a really crunchy EQ at the time, maybe. 642 has better headroom (still not great) but is pretty flexible. At this point I'd use a plugin where I would have...

ATM25s sound good, reject pretty well, and are really easy to position. They have the wildest (relative) price fluctuations of any mic I can think of; you might see them for $125 and $300+ in the same week. 3 just sold on ebay for $400 for the lot, and I just bought two more for $150/ea so definitel...

Not sure what theses are going for nowadays. Anyone??? $400-$600 seems to be the range. I've bought two; one for $450 and one for $550 - both with PSU, cable, case; the more expensive one included an AKG stand, shockmount, mic cables, flight case... sort of a giving up on recording package deal. Fr...

I've got some stuff in the next two weeks I think it'd be excellent for, so my hope would be to get it before then, but thanks ~ if you're around and have some time to kill pop by and see the new desk! I've been waiting at least a decade to own a Mutator (kicking myself for saying "$550 is a bit ste...

Apologies for the dozen PMs. I'll take the Mutator. I'm a li'l giddy.

actually, just read what he wrote below.

Ordered one today. Looking forward to getting it back in the rack.

Next time put him on one of the 4038s and watch his face get stuck to the giant magnets.

I'm noticing that a mix mirrored to two output groups (the board has 4 stereo "master" outs; broadcast desk) sounds noticeably different monitored straight off the console vs. what's going into Protools. The actual mix file is losing some high and getting a bit of a mud-midrange bump; all in all it ...

Thanks for the help guys. Here's a back of the PSU photo and a very scientific rendering of the console power ports. The crossed out 15v section was not wired up previously; the 15v PSU supplies were feeding into the same-named 18v ports on the board. 5v ports were not active; they may be to power a...

Posting from phone under console. looks like all DC other than ground. Psu has +15v, -15v, +/-15RTN, 48v, 48vRtN, and 5v ports that were unused. Console has the 48v, 15v and 18v ports; previous owner had the psu 15v ports patched to the 18v console ports. Am told it was wired up by a tech. Is there ...

This cable will be running from the PSU to the console. The existing 12' cable is just five 14g wires and a 12g ground wire wrapped together; definitely not the original Harrison cable. Unfortunately I don't know much about it; the board came with no manual and getting a replacement manual from Harr...

thanks! here's hoping for no smoke/fire/temporal displacement when i throw the switch.

Recently picked up a Harrison console that I need to make a very long power cable for so as to get the noisy PSU out of the control room. The cable appears to be a ground plus 5 more channels/pins between the PSU and console terminated to 5mm eyelets. To make this thing myself, is there a certain wi...
