Topic: 722 question?

[marc0789]

soooooo close...the heat issues are bugging me, but probably pull the trigger anyhow. gonna run 4022>m148>722 and ditch any outboard a/d.

I have Claypool 4022 > m148 > 722 if you want to hear the sound.  should have it online be wednesday.

I didn't have any heat issues the whole festival, kept it in the Portabrace bag.
Only issue was battery, swapped it out and was good to go

pull the trigger, always run the 722 in the PB with the front flap, and two side flaps open for maximum ventilation, and you'll be fine

no interest in the m-audio marc?  i do realize it'd be an extra adc unit you'd have to run as well, but it seems to me that the cost of the 722 to be run as just an a/d and recorder is pretty steep, unless the 722 a/d is really, really nice.  just curious as to your thoughts really, i need to get another rig soon enough and there are so many options out there these days i change my mind daily...

Much of my thinking is skewed by a severe restriction on what I can carry. My 4022>m148>modsbm1 with only AA's runs about 20 pounds, and that's all I'm allowed to lift. So the only real upgrade I can see is to substitute the 722 for the two M1's and modsbm1 I carry around, should be pretty close to my bag weight right now. so a topnotch 24 bit a/d like the mytek or even adding a mme not really an option for me.

20lbs... you big pussy

nice update to the profile there tim

20lbs... you big pussy

pretty sad, huh? actually, I'm on a lifetime 50lb restriction, but I don't think I'm up to that yet after my last date with the surgeon. when I ran 4011>v2>2k>p1 I must have lugged 65 lbs easy.

[marc0789]

my motivation is mostly to improve my sound and to go 24 bit...so not too interested in continuing to use the modsbm1. great box for what it is, but no question in my mind that I give up some detail running it behind 4022's. Thanks, Marc.

that's what walt runs but substitute the 140s.   holy crap its heavy.   we got lost last summer at one of the phish shows looking for our car and after about 20 min of walking, he was hating it big time. 

i'm hoping to run a m148 comp this weekend and find out that i like the 722 just as much without the m148.   one less thing to carry.

my thought too, though I just don't think I could give up the brick, and I have serious doubts about the 722 measuring up. Like nfw.

I'm interested to hear what you think.  My 722 just came in a couple of days ago and I haven't had a chance to run it yet.  I'm planning on doing the same comp at some point, but I can't imagine letting go of my brick.

fwiw, i ran the 744 in the direct sun at tbf for about 41/2 hours just to see if it would crap out.  no problem, and it was hot up there that week, not a cloud.
