OADE m248 by the numbers

(1/4) > >>

Flynn:
Thought this was kinda cool. Got some numbers when trading emails.

I built 50 M248s.
3 were killed by the user's attempt to modify them.
23 have been in the shop in the last 5 years.
13 have had the Mic preamp update installed,
2 now have the intermediate stage update installed.
I often wonder where they all are.
peace....Doug

Very cool to hear - both literally and about!

Thanks for posting, and especially for all your support for tapers in pursuit of "the sound" over the decades. 
Go OADE!

Is it 248”s” or was Doug saying multiple 248 units? If units, I’m shocked by how low that number is considering how incredible the unit performs. I have a 248 w external battery mod, not done much in 20+ years but just started getting back. Love the recordings I made w/ 248 way back when. Where do people rank vs other external / internal preamps these days? I just got a zoom f6 for the extra inputs and 32 bit float, but wondering how people think 248 preamp compares to the internal f6? Thanks Oade Bros for all the help and memories along the way.

Long live the Brick!
Sending you the UA-5 on Wednesday, Doug. Thanks for all you do!

Flynn:
Just my opinion but I'm not a big fan of the internal pre on the mix pre 6ii. Having the 248 is like syrup on my pancakes. Just makes things better.
