Topic: Thoughts on ACM V3

[imazephed]

I have run it with hpf/2 in real boomy halls with great results in front of mk41's. If you run Schoeps V3 you really need to look into the mod I have never been more pleased with my recordings.

Hey i'll bump this up to keep it going.

I ran the stock V3 with 4023's and mk4/41 and thought
the recordings were very good.. The ACM unit takes it to
a whole other level. The VERY best recordings i have ever made
were done with 4023 > ACM V3

My question......what would take it to the next level?
Is there another A/D that would sound better with my
mics. For open taping i don't mind bringing along another unit.

the two best portable A/D units that I have heard is the Benchmark AD2402-96 (aka the AD2K+) and the Mytek Stereo192 ADC.  Using the V3's pre-amp infront of either of those is definitely a top-notch gear chain.  Lynchie runs 4023 > V3 > AD2K and makes some great tapes....  maybe it's time for some ACM V3 vs. AD2K vs mytek comparison tapes...

I think the acm v3 is tough to beat with the 4023's depending on the band and the room...for panic I like the sax better with the dpa's.  I just picked up another ad2k...Next shows I run at here in two weeks I will comp the acm v3 vs the v3 analog out>ad2k.  I was really wondering how the sax was going to sound in front of the ad2k.
