Topic: Record four channels on your Microtrack!!!

Upgrade your front end, get real 48v 10mA phantom AND TWO extra channels!!! You gotta love the guys @ Core Sound! Thanks Len!

4Mic is a revolutionary, portable, handheld, battery-powered, four-channel, 24/192 microphone pre-amp/A-D converter.  It offers true 24-bit noise, distortion and crosstalk specifications.  With both coaxial and optical S/PDIF interfaces, it provides four discrete output channels.  It can also multiplex the four microphone channels into two recorder channels, turning a two-channel 24/192 recorder into a four-channel 24/96 recorder.  When paired with Core Sound’s PDAudio handheld portable digital audio recorder, it turns a PDA like HP’s iPAQ or Dell’s Axim into a four-channel, high-resolution digital audio recorder.  And by providing professional-class microphone pre-amps and A-D converters, it turns any two-channel 24/96 recorder with an S/PDIF input into a truly professional, high-resolution four-channel recorder.  It also includes a few important features that allow it to be used for Ambisonics-type surround-sound recordings, creating for the first time the possiblity of a handheld, high-resolution, surround sound recording system.  It is the only handheld, battery-powered microphone pre-amp that can provide a full ten milliamps of 48 Volt phantom power per channel, allowing it to be used with Earthworks, Schoeps and other high current requirement microphones.  It will run on primary and rechargeable batteries for more than four hours and accepts external battery packs and AC power supplies. 4Mic is expected to ship in November 2005 and will carry an MSRP of $750.

how many minutes of 4-channel audio can you get on a 2gb file limit at 24/96 with the microtracker?

WOW ONLY 750.........

I think that'd be 30 minutes per file.

This is actually a pretty good idea, so long as the thing ships with software that can deinterlace the files. I'm kind of ticked that I didn't think of it first.

Wasn't there a Twilight Zone where there was a whole separate world existing in between the frames of time?

No worries. Only 3 people will get it to work over the next 24 months leaving plenty of time for some 'competition'.

don't worry.  to use the s/pdif side you have to use a core sound 7 pin.
