Topic: 722 with sonicase?

[MattD]

I did it wrapped in a nylon jacket on my lap once and it was too hot to even touch (i.e. would have caused a burn if I held on for more than half a second). I was able to move it away from my body by picking it up from the corners and held it above my knees (seated show) with the jacket barely draped over it until it was cool enough to touch for more than a few seconds again.

In a bag, I wouldn't worry as much. Perhaps a layer of neoprene between you and the unit would do the trick. The next time I stealthed, I put it in a briefcase at my feet and used the old "set it and forget it" method with the limiter.

If anyone has large CF cards, you could record to CF only when stealthing and presumably avoid the heat issue. I don't know of anyone who's tried it, though.

how about using a small brushless fan with outboard power to circulate some air in the bags like soniccase/portbrace?

Joe and I have run it with no problems in a Sonicase with the clear window closed.  I've got a mini-cell foam support built to preven it from rocking one way or the other from the battery in the back.   

is there any ventilation with the window closed?  How hot did the 722 get?

In the portabrace my 722 gets pretty damn warm.

there is a little ventilation.  I don't zip it.  I just fold it over. 

Yes it gets hot, but its still nothing like the ad1000...

still think that's over the top.  The heat dissipates rather quickly, so powering down at set break would be enough for me

I wonder how much heat you would loose running at normal 16/44? It might be more bearable when stealthing. Though 24bit is one of the reasons I got the unit.

I run my 744T (with an 80 GB Hitachi) in a Sonicase with a V3 and haven't had any problems. It gets a little warm but not excessively so. Usually I have case sitting on its side with the opening facing horizontal, and the plastic flaps open.

This is exactly how I run mine. Boz made me one of those mini-cell support thingys and it works like a charm. The battery rest in the inner part of the foam which keeps it from moving around. No stress on the battery what so ever. There's plenty of extra space on both sides for ventilation (there are flaps on the sides of the sonicase that can be opened if you feel you need extra ventilation). After my levels are set, the bag is closed. This is the only way i've ran it and heat has never been an issue.

I run ours mainly in a large lowe pro stealth reporter and it works fine. it gets pretty warm in there, but i havn't had any problems.

alright, ima ask this again...

what case would comfortably fit a v2 or m148, mgs, and the 722 and cabling??
and perhaps a jb3 and cabling in case i want to get two sources for a matrix.,..

I'm on the waiting list for a 722 and I run a m148.  Over the weekend I was looking around on the internet for exactly that, and here's what I think.  The Portabrace CS7 (designed for the 722) plus the RM-Multi add on. 

Here's the CS7

Here's the RM-Multi

The RM-Multi is 8.5"L x 3"W x 5.5"H which seems big enough for the m148 although I haven't had time to measure yet.  There should be enough room in there for something like a wooden Schoeps box as well.  Plus the RM-Multi has a small pocket on the front where you could store some more small stuff.  The only thing I'm not sure of, is whether or not there are any cable exit holes in the RM, or whether you would just have to run them out of the top and into the side of the CS7.

Just curious, so don't flame me, but have you guys ever considered getting a smaller, less expensive, stealth rig?  I throw this out there, because your equipment, factoring in the 722 value, would be a lot to lose if you got caught my security.  If I got caught, I would be out a few hundred dollars.  If you got caught, you would be out thousands.

Just my 2 cents.

sound quality is an issue...when I stealthed before I used 853s->MP2->Mod SBM1->D100....reasonable sound quality, but still ~$2k in equipment

and if I get caught they have no right to take my equipment....so they absolutely would not get it....

now if the flash tracker turns out to be worth a damn I will be getting a lower profile 24 bit stealth rig (or the R1)

I agree there.  The M Audio unit would eliminate a couple of pieces (the Deneckes) from my rig.

oh I would still throw a preamp in there...I have strong doubts that the maudio preamp built into that little box is anywhere near on par of any of the portables (sax, mp2, psp2, etc)

Thanks!  I always wanted an MP2, but it had no AD.  The M-Audio would at least have an on-board AD.

very true...and from what I have heard, the R1 does a great job at 24 bit A/D, and is a tiny box, hopefully the MAudio can do the same thing
