this is a email question/answer I received from oade yesterday regarding the ACM 671.
will the ACM mod disable any of the inputs like previous mods to other units?
oade>> yes
after mod, would the xlr inputs still be able to take a pro level sbd feed?
oade>> (no answer)
^^I wish he had been a little specific as to which inputs would be disabled.
I would be using one primarily with the AKG c414b-XLS as a stand-alone
pre/adc/recorder. I am looking for something that would be relatively transparent.
in looking through the brief synapsis of the mods, none say if they are
warm, transparent, etc...
oade>> yes, it is a 24/96 version of the adv concert mod for the 660. it is a transparent MOD style design
^^exactly what I wanted to hear!
as for powering, I have heard that it will run on a 12V SLA.
is there a cable for this or would the stock AC power cable have to be
hacked to support both ac or sla?
oade>> We do not supply the battery or the cable but the DC plug is easy to come by.
^^again, specifics would have been helpful. guess I didnt word the question correctly.
still looks like a great unit once the ACM mod is complete, but (imo) I would like to still have a functional xlr line input...
