New Grace Designs Product; Check This Out
« on: November 15, 2009, 09:45:41 AM »
I'm thinking about buying a spacebar, but when navigating around the Grace Design website, I ran across this new product.  Looks like Mike went from the prototype he flew at the Phish Redrocks show to having a commercial product in no time at all!

Whoa, even better:



Preliminatry Information - Channel strip... it doesn’t roll off the tongue or smack of a high fidelity recording device. Maybe thats why its taken us so long to build one. But we got over it. All labels aside, our new m103 is a powerful tracking tool for virtually any recording scenario.

It starts with our tried and true m101 transformerless microphone preamplifier circuity. Headroom, detail, clarity, musicality – its all there. Complete with our exclusive ribbon mic mode, a 75Hz HPF and 48V phantom.

The 3 band EQ section is built around single stage parallel tuning architecture, which minimizes circuitry and delivers natural, musical tonal shaping at all frequencies. Controls include a fully parametric mid, with shelving and peak modes on the high and low bands.

The compressor circuit is based on an optical attenuator - the purest, high fidelity gain control mechanism available. It provides gentle limiting to fairly heavy compression, while remaining nuetral and transparent. The perfect way to zip it all up and send it downstream - clean, intact and alive.

Comprehensive I/O options allow the mic pre and EQ/COMP sections to be accessed independently of each other, and the order of the EQ/COMP is switchable. The compressor controls can be linked for stereo applications, and 10 segment gain reduction and output meters make monitoring signal status simple. So there it is, we’ve done it. The m103 - a channel strip by name, a powerful tool by design. Stay tuned for complete details.

Awesome shot Brian.  It captures so many different things in one shot...from the array, to the cool lighting, to the semi-obvious fact that this was Phish at Red Rocks and so on.

I said that about the Spacebar and got yelled at.
Pockets full of nickels and nothing left to eat, and I'm stuck behind a semi on Soniat Street.

I don't get all the markings.  How do they account for different microphone sizes?  Confused about that....

If you buy into the concepts presented in 'The Stereophonic Zoom', then the detailed markings have alot of significance. 

Whether these bars are overkill is more related, IMHO, to whether someone thinks that the SZ is baloney or not.

However, regardless of the SZ, the point of the detailed marking, IMHO, is repeatability.  The detailed markings also would allow for good balance and uniform symmetry in the array.
