Appologies...looks like my xlr>mini cable is what's causing the issue. I tried to use it with other gear and same problem.
I successfully used a pair of xlr>rca with mini adapter and signal was fine. Sorry for the bad info.
Regards,
Jim


Correct had a brand new xlr>mini gakcable made and signal was too hot.
Just a heads up for those interested in his pre....it has a balanced out only via xlr(5)> 2x xlr(3). I tried patching a sony m10 and sony d50 out of this box and it was too hot of a signal for both decks. I've used it with a dr680 and a r44 with no problem. Both trey and myself have the femto(L) which is the lower gain version. I asked audioroot to engrave my pre with "6db" on the back so if I ever sell it in the future the new owner will know which version it is....audioroot had no problem with my special request and didn't charge extra for the engraving which was really cool.
Regards,
Jim
Thanks Jim. Anyone else want to borrow?

I'd be up for trying out out if it's available.  I'm 99.9% most likely planning to tape Rusted Root later this month (01/17) and would be curious to run it w/ my rig. 

Shoot me a PM and let me know if it may be available.

Thanks, Trey!

Bryan

You tried running an XLR>1/8" cable into an m10? That's a HUGE bummer it's too hot for the m10 as that's what recorder I planned on using with mine when I get mine :(

Phew, that's good to hear!

Hi all.
I have a Femto-L in excellent condition for sale. I'm in the EU.

What does the HP on/off on the unit mean?  What does it do?  Should I run on or off? 

Running Trey's tomorrow night for Rusted Root.  Source will be: 483>Femto>661 (oade warm mod). 

Thought about running it in front of the V3.  But, didn't set it up in the bag to do so when I got stuff ready tonight.  Though, I may rig it up between bands tomorrow night to do so. We'll see...

HP is a high pass filter. So it would reduce bass basically. I think it is at 75 hz that the frq  would slowly become less present. So leave it on the off position then if need be work in post. Good luck

no real reason...Ha.  The chances of that happening are very slim to none.

I guess that's possible.  My first thought was "why does he want to run 2 preamps?" :)

Since the 661 has the Oade mod, Id just run Femto>661!!! I cant frickin wait to run that sucka with my schoeps too, so I know how it sounds in venues I normally record at! As soon as I pay some bills, Im getting a PFA and saving up for a Femto. I should hopefully have it before summer 8) And Im also getting the Low Gain version like Treys is!

I'd like to hear this too.
I know you like, tape for people's approval and stuff, and wave your tapes around like they're your dick...  but even you can't actually think section tapes from philips sound good.

I haven't had time to track the show, yet.  But, will be happy to provide samples once done.  I'm hoping I can focus on that this week...

I'm really trying to figure out what this thing sounds like. The samples I've heard all sound different to my ears so I haven't been able to put a name to what I hear, I.e. Warm, transparent, fat or clean. It's interesting that those of you who have run this don't seem to have any way to explain it either. I guess at this point I'll just have to wait until I get it from Trey. Looks like a nice unit but it's odd that there seems to be no definition to its "house sound" This might be the first time I have seen a pre that acts like a chameleon with what ever mic's it's paired with!

If you are planning on running AKG actives you might want to check out Allyn's RRE NYE recording.  Sounds really good
