Hey, forgive my ignorance, but what does "+t" mean?  I've deduced enough to know it's a compliment, but what are its origins?

I saw an add in the latest Tape Op mag for this thing...  This is the only piece of gear that I'm really interested in.  It seems like it could be the variable gain m148 dream machine...

What charactaristics do the neve products have???Warm, transparent??

Just asking because you mentioned the m148..

It interests me too as someone who will be building a studio...

the neve as a pre-amp is a "helper". which means  it's rather more focused and forgiving.

Chris, did you use any of that sweepable HP with this stack tape? It really sounds great and reinforces my need for one of these 5012's.

I do all my stuff in post; didn't use any of the HP functions...only lights that were lit were the P48 indicators :)

I've heard the DMB PA sound better, but in such a festival-type atmosphere with people packed tight, I was pleased.  Subcards love the low end, and the PA was a tad bright, but this is pretty much straight-to-disk sound.  If the Neve was going to muddy or loosen the low end, it would have in this setting, believe me.  Mytek is a serious box, and so is the Neve.  Highly recommended.

Nice have you had a chance to record anything in stereo to get a feel for the soundstage of this box?
How would you describe the sonic characteristics of the neve in comparision with a m148?
I was considering picking up a 148 but my go this route if the neve shares the same qualities as the Oade.

I don't know what an m148 is, really.

This recording is in stereo.

the imaging question is based on not stack taping and running center at a show that runs a stereo PA

I was under the impression that DMB ran a mono mix not stereo.
Looks like a fine pre amp hope you enjoy it I may go with one myself.
The M148 is a Oade design pre with point to point wiring and fixed 20 db of gain. It has a very open soundstage a warm sound and is very forgiving in bad acoustic environments.
