V3 Question (opinions needed)
« on: December 27, 2006, 06:44:19 PM »
I'm borrowing John Merrin's V3 for a few weeks, and can't decide exactly how I want to run it.

I can go S/PDIF out into my old M1, or run analog out and 24 bit on the R09. Everybody can probably already see the pros and cons of each...

What would you do?

It would also be interesting to find V2 > R-09 sources... I wonder how that would sound compared to V3 > 24bit bit bucket.... would potentially be a cheaper setup too.

Let me add a twist...nevermind...just do both.  Gotta love that about the V3.

  Not sure how hot a signal the R09 can take.  If you're able, you may want to pick up an attenuator cable to put between the V3 analog outputs and the R09.  Otherwise, may be tough to get a proper comparison / equal levels across both recorders without it.

At -12 dBFS, the V3 analog outputs balanced at +13 dBu, and unbalanced at +7 dBu.  The complete dBFS / dBu table's in the V3 manual.

Sonic Studios full review of the R-09 claims:

"The LINE input handles fully professional input levels up to a whopping +16 dBm! Ability to handle such high input levels without clipping is a first in a portable minideck without needing external attenuation adapters"

So I don't know if attenuators will be necessary (but I guess they could never hurt).

Sorry to jump in guys...

I've never actually taken that hot of a line level with the R-09 but I had just remembered reading it when I had my hands on an R-09 and I was running it for a soundboard patch(second deck in a post matrix)...

Again, it could never hurt to have some attenuators to be safe, but you could ask GuySonic about his tests to be certain...

Just for the sake of the conversation thought i'd add this.  When running analog out of my V3 into my modSBM I HAD to have a 25db attenuator cable made to regulate the signal.  It was coming very very hot out of the V3.  Don't know if that would also be the case with the R09 but again I just wanted to share my experience with the V3 analog outputs.
