Mine has a fan. No problem really. Very low volume. Never had a complaint from clients.
When I used to produce stuff for "Star" in Boston with Mark Driscoll, he told me that he had an engineer freind build a fan switch into his so that he could silence it when the mic was live. Talk about a "processed" mic chain. compression out the wazoo. Old school 80's CHR think. Great guy though. He also insisted on doing sessions in L3 Stereo 64/48 all the time. I think almost everyone uses L2 128/L2 these days.

I use L3 Joint Stereo for some overseas clients. One fellow in Ireland says it's the only setting that works for his setup.
Cool.
Otherwise, It's all L2MONO128 send/ L2 receive like Chuck says.

Cool. That's kind of how I came into mine. Howard Parker had one 9202 and upgraded to Xtreme...(1 main/1 backup).
Got the blackface at a very fair price.

First the telco said it wasn't feasable, then said it would cost me between 5 to 10 thousand dollars for the install ! My studio is in Melrose MA - inside of route 128. They said i'm 22,000 feet from the "CO". To get ISDN, i'll have to move my studio. This blows!
If Source Connect is the future - I'm there.

Hey Jeff!
That's the pits! can't understand how they'd be giving you such a hard time on the install. Did you try any other avenues? I don't pay for my own lines at this point...Entercom picks up the tab. I think they used "world com" or "world net"...something like that. Could make a difference who's requesting the service. I'll talk to my engineers this week and get back to you. So close to Boston there's gotta be some way around this.
BTW - Sucks what happened at Kiss. You're always such a major player/class act.

You know, I'd double check on that. DSL service is limited by distance, but not ISDN by my understanding. I'm in an older neighborhood of the city so there wasn't a newer Telco switching station that had DSL nearby so I couldn't get it, but they said they could run ISDN anywhere, and did to my place.

ISDN is definitely limited to distance. You must be within a certain number wire feet from the CO (Central Office-- houses the frame for your area).
The number 1000 comes to mind, but I can't recall with the actual number is. If you're outside that, repeaters need to be installed so many feet.
Meh! Bucks bucks bucks.
You also have to have a CO that actually has ISDN service. My little tiny town doesn't so I'm "virtually served" by having a phone number in the next biggest town (Sanford). They've got some way of running lines to my town's CO and then straight out copper wire to Mission Control.

appreciate the support! It's Verizon that's giving me the hard time. They'd need to upgrade the network between my home and the Malden MA CO - put in repeaters, etc. They're in the middle of running Fibre Optic lines everywhere, and probably don't wanna deal with a single customer's unique needs. I've paid $2600 for an install before - but now the price has gone up according to the Telco. I had Dave Immer at DigiFon helping me out with this, but even he conceded defeat.

When I was GM at Studio Center Las Vegas my studio had the Tokyo. Great machine. We used it for three line ISDN hook ups all over the world and once a six line ISDN session. No delay, sounded great, huge phone bill. But it was totally incompatible with any older ISDN unit, or at least we couldn't figure out a setting for them. |
