I believe bluntforcetrauma tapes alot of hard rock, so the high SPLs should be well suited for subcards.

Funny, I'd say the exact opposite.  High SPLs generally = boom from reflections.  Hard rock generally = poor venues. Subcards do not reject off-axis boom very well. Certainly not as well as cards or hypers.

Guess I've been spoiled, I've been taping hard rock acts at the Chicago HOB and the Metro this year with the 4023s but I unfortunately never got a chance to try out subcards.

Do they still make the sonosax pre amp?

Yes they still make the sonosax pre, I beleive they go for about $1000 to $1100 new.
Used they seem to fetch about $600 to $800, but they don't show up all that often.

I have made some nice recordings going 4022 > sonosax sx-m2 > R09.

But maybe you should get one of these:

I've got a few shows coming up, I'll have to see where I'm sitting first but I think they're close to the stage. Might have to take you up on that

George--where would you buy the sonosax pre amp, the site you linked was last updated in 2005.

What u.s company or distibuter would you suggest to get this from?

also do i get the STANDARD model?

there are also options like:
spring knobs
mono/stereo switch
lemo and binder connectors


please advise

George--do you just have the standard version?

I just want a trusted seller

thanks

Yup.  Not always the cheapest, but Jerry's one of the few vendors who knows all about the Sonosax SX-M2 (for use with DPA 402x), SX-M2/LS (I think this could be used with Neumann lemo cables + AKx caps), and SX-M2/LS2 (for use with KCY cable and MKx caps).

The first sax I had (that is now owned by U2's tour manager) was purchased used from a dat-heads posting. The replacement for that one came from a friend who bought his directly from Sonosax on the used equipment page I just quoted above. It came to him in pristine condition then after he ran it 3 times, he decided to get out of taping and I was in the right place at the right time as I needed the replacement the same week that he decided to sell his.

I wouldn't buy one new for that $1100 retail price, maybe a vendor would charge less though. I'd look into a 722 before I paid that much.

Because you're using XLR ins, you can just get the standard SX-M2 version.

I think that's alot for one of these as well. For what its worth, I gave $600 for mine. It was used but in perfect condition.
