Topic: Sonosax MINIR82 and MINIR2

or, you could run a bunch of V3s and Mini-Mes in front of it. 

Let's see, timing cables, and data cables... check.... Now there's a mass of wiring.

I read the $6000 as the 8 channel version...in the second paragraph down it says the 2 channel version, more details will be released in september

I don't think that's right. It looks like they are all 8 channel devices (MINIR82), you just have the option of setting them up as 2 to 8 channel devices. However, this is really a marketing ploy because you're still limited to only two analog inputs. The rest of the channels come from the AES inputs, so you'll need a nice Cooper or Sonosax mixer (there's another 6-8K)....

They're also making a MINIR2 that will be just 2 channels.  Details for that are coming in Sept.

Sorry, I misread your post. I thought you meant you thought the 6K was for the 2 channel version.

I wouldn't hold your breath for the 2 channel to come much under 2K though. Sonosax has some nice gear out there, but they have always been on the high end of the pricing scheme.

INPUTS

Two balanced Mic/Line Input using high end mic preamp technology on 7 pin miniature connectors.

Got this fron Sonosax. What is a 7 pin connector? Can I get cables made for XLR to 7 pin connectors?

My guess is they'll supply the cable that will allow you to go from XLR to the 7 pin connector. I think hirose makes a 7 pin connector, and since these seem to be the rage on any gear aimed at hollyweird, this may be what they use. But they'll probably either ship it with the unit (one would think this is the route they will go), or at least offer it as an option.

so this isnt an all in one, just a preamp/capture ? or is it/

Sonosax makes pretty good pre-amps, so I'm thinking it should an all-in-one solution.. I'm not even sure the 2 channel version has digital in, so it better be an all-in-one

[Ray76]

Yeah, I actually like the Sonosax, from what ive heard of it.

I think it is the best pre-amp when it comes to Schoeps.
