Just got an email returned from the 'home office' - FYI for anyone who felt out in the dark like me!
Anyway, the development of the MINIR82 is almost finished and manufacturing prodiction have started.
It's release is foreseen by May 2006 at the price that was already announced in our preliminary information
( please see our website : http://www.sonosax.ch/MINIR82/MINIR-PRELIMINARY.htm
We will soon publish the user manual and specifications. As we have added you e-mail address in our mailing list you will receive all future information.
In addition we will present the MINIR82 in its final version during the next NAB in LasVegas
We will exhibit with "Remote Audio" booth nr N4514. Maybe we will have a chance to meet during this exhibition.
Shall you have any specific question please feel free to contact me.
LKind regards

It seems like this should be wonderful, but with Marantz and Tascam offering 24 bit CF recorders at under $1000, $6000 for the sonosax, no matter how small or wonderful it is, seems like an awful lot on money. Nonetheless, I'm up for hearing the tapes. ;)

Keep in mind that there will also be a 2ch version of this available... considerably less cost.
Sax has always been a little more expensive than the rest but generally worth it...
Think of the fuss when Sound Design introduced the 744 and 722... now nobody bats an eye and the $'s.

Now if sonosax made the 2 channel 1 with a binder plug for my actives!
:jawdrop:

I have follow up questions into them and will report back with the answers...

A lilttle more from Sonosax...
1 - how long will it be until the R2 follows the R82 to market?
1) As we put all our efforts in the MINIR82 we do not have defined the MINIR2 yet.
2 - Will there be a Lemo connection for Schoeps/Neumann Mics?
2) The MINIR82 do not have LEMO connector but a 8 Pin Binder on which we provide all connections for these kind of mic
Microphones wired to a Lemo can be either rewired to the Binder or use a short adapter cable.
3 - Does the machine use traditional Compact Flash or is it an SD Card?
3) The MINIR82 uses CompactFlash Card not SD
4 - Any idea on the 2ch pricing in US $'s?
4) Not yet
Kind regards

right now, the only thing that would cause me to change my rig would be if the sonosax 2ch unit would power MK5s via actives in a nice unit, that would be awesome, omni or card, literally all-in-one
peace, chris

I am hoping for a similar outcome...

Pricey but nifty. +t for the information.
One thing bugged me though:
Including one year free software up-date
Only one year for firmware updates? weaksauce.
Firmware should be free for life. (For as long as they sell the product, at least.)

That is kinda strange, but I will bet that when it is released it will work flawlessly. They have had what 2 years to get it right? I LOVE Sonosax, but their stuff is a tad bit expensive. It is Swiss made after all. :)
I long for a R82, but for 6-7G's I would rather have 2 744's I think. 8 tracks at 24/96 on a 30GB drive will be good for about what a 2-3 hour show? :o

If page 5 is the levels, they suck.

Any info on the 2 channel version? Or reviews of the MINIR82?
-
It is on the back burner as they push the 8ch to market...
Logic would tell you that it should be a relatively easy change but who know.. maybe like Sound Devices, 9 months or a year???
