ditch the transformers find a reliable way to go sbm > jb3

ditch the transformers find a reliable way to go sbm > jb3

i knew some one was going to say that

what do you think would work good for that?

optical 7-pin Sony POC-DA12P

or

opti-mod your sbm-1 (think these plans are for output on a d8 but could be adapted to Tx out of a sbm-1)

does an sbm1 control the record levels in this proposed setup?

does an sbm1 control the record levels in this proposed setup?

very much so.

very much so.

so, besides the dreaded +17db, what is the difference (in function, not sound) between the sbm1 and an AD-20?

-no preamp - you use the line input
-perfect match for sony dat machines but can be made to work with other recorders
-smaller
-better powering options and a battery life indicator
-level knobs can move in unison
-not as robust

thanks.   I think I need one of these w/ an optical output for an NJB3.  that would solve all my problems, I do believe.  I could then run  mics ->battery box -> SMB1 -> NJb3, and control the levels on the sbm1...

thanks again for answering my questions zhiao

find a way to do that and you'll be made in the shade!
i'll have to wait another 12 hours for you

edit: just don't use a battery box with 853s! there have been many threads on this subject in the last few months.

No way!  I want to do this setup w/ 4061s.   

a previous message from Simp in another thread says he has a todd-mod sbm1 - is the todd-mod a mod to give it an optical output?  is this todd person around doing mods still?

jeah

[zhianosatch]

attaboy, rock those 4061s!
todd ramsden is on this board! he does a different line stage mod to the sbm than the oades. i don't think he still does it, though. might want to ask him.

[pfife]

Do they make a cable that is 7pin on one end, and optical on the other end that can be used w/ this and an njb3?

[zhianosatch]

as i understand it, such cables are prone to fuckups in the field and are not recommended... that's why i said that you need to find a way to make friends between the sbm and jb3 - they're not natural pals. i'm sure people around here do it or have done it, though.

thanks.  optical input on the njb3 blows.  limits the a/d's you can use way too much.  maybe oade can mod a stock one to have an optical output.

or a hosa... but I want less boxes!
