Thanks to Distant Jay…I just picked up his Sony SBM-1 from the yard sale to run with my Nak 100/300’s. My goal is to improve the A/D that I have been getting from NJB3…I always like the combo of the Naks with SBM-1 but for various reasons never got one. I went from Nak 300’s Sony D5 to Nak 300’s/100’s ->Nak MX-100->analog-> NJB3. I missed the whole Dat era.
I am quite happy with the results from the current setup but I am thinking the SBM-1 would give me some options.
Please comment if my below assumptions and configurations sound right.
• Current Setup Nak300’s/Nak100’s XLR ->1/4 L/R->Nak MX-100-> RCA L/R ->mini 1/8->analog NJB3-wave
( good results but A/D could be improved)
Option 1 SBM-1 set to Mic in
Run Nak300’s/Nak100’s XLR ->1/4 L/R->mic in SBM-1 ->optical out via Sony 7pin->NJB3
( I tested this and found I need to crank the levels on the SBM-1 to get decent levels on the NJB3 Does this sound right ?)
Option 2 SBM-1 set to Line in
Run Nak300’s/Nak100’s XLR ->RCA L/R Line in SBM-1 ->optical out via Sony 7pin->NJB3-> wave
( I need to get some XLR->RCA cables to test this) I am assuming I will get stronger levels without a need to crank the
SBM-1 levels.)
Option 3 MX-100 with SBM-1 – Line in
Nak300’s/Nak100’s XLR ->1/4 L/R->Nak MX-100-> RCA L/R->Line-in RCA optical out via Sony 7pin->NJB3-> wave
(This would probably give me good results levels. I need to get some short RCA->RCA cables to test, I am thinking this
would give me good results but would require the most portable power and weight to my bag)
Thanks
Brian
