NBox or Bill box Schematics?

[Brian Skalinder]

more importantly it sounds better than the lemoshizzle

Not to my ears.  Fortunately, there are at least a couple quality stealth boxes for different ears/brains/playback systems.

any tracks specifically?

thanks for the link!

Didn't i see you thanking Twister for a Radiohead show?  That was from an Nbox.  

[Brian Skalinder]

run them head to head instead of comparing different shows and you will probably sing a different tune

Would love to, I enjoy running direct comps.  Don't know of anyone in Cleveland with an NBox, though.  The comp would reveal the different sonic characteristics, yes, but reasonable people may have different sonic preferences so it's a bit bold IMO to suggest I'll sing a different tune.  A blind comp I ran between the warm-mod-UA5 and V3 revealed about 50% of people preferred the warm-mod UA5 even though the V3 is traditionally considered a superior piece of equipment.

I'll have to try to track down an NBox, would be a lot of fun to run the comp!   Shoot, if you're right, I could sell the Lemosax setup and save a few bucks.

Good input, Boogie - thanks for the feedback.  I'm just getting into the stealth game so this is all good to hear, kinda learning as I go.  Hopefully I can track down a local NBox for some comps, would really like to hear these head to head.

yep, Brian just wanted me to check the same show as him and give some feedback, sounds like we're both on the same page.

oh and I could give a sh*t what the wave forms look like... it's all about how it sounds!

Just want to throw out another endorsement for the rbox/nbox.  I have and frequently run an rbox in stealth situations, it doesnt get much better/easier.  

There have been a very few situations where the fixed gain was borderline too low (unamplified jazz @ symphony hall) but, with the sbm1 pretty much maxed out it was always more or less fine.

I can try to dig out a few good recordings with it if yall want em.

always interested to hear more jazz--if you don't mind!

hey all, since it is on topic, can anyone inform a newbie on where he can find more info on this nbox (bill box, rbox) i.e. who makes it, cost, etc.  thanks.  i did a search and couldn't find a direct link.  cheers.  ingsy

Nick Carbonetta is currently making the Nbox (hense the N).  PM me for his email addy.

what's the pin assignment on the schoeps active cable, or should I just start strolling on over to the archive now?

you realize of course the wav form is the graphical expression of how it sounds right?

i just mention it as most people have better visual accuity than accoustic..



boogie

yeah I'm fully aware of that fact  

but if I was throwing around $1100 on AUDIO equipment I'd be more concerned with how it SOUNDS than how it looks on paper (see anything ever made by core-sound)

not an endorsement or a knock on the n-box either way. I don't really do enough actual stealth work to warrant a purchase... my fob rig will be ccm4/m148/modsbm-1

I must say I've been very happy with my recent Nbox purchase!  Here's a pic of mine in relation to some other gear:
