DPA402X>V3 Is Good???

[marc0789]

Howdy all!!!
    I haven't had a chance to listen to any DPA402X>V3 tapes yet and am wondering what the general concensus is of this combo.  Right now I'm running 4023>V2>AD500e which works very well but weighs in pretty heavy for what I'm having to carry around.  The V3 is a much more streamiline way to go but I'm afraid that the ultra transparancy of the V3 might make for more sterile/analytical sounding tapes rather than the more lush sound that I am getting right now.  Any insight is appreciated... 

borrow a v3 and do a simultaenous 4023>v3 and 4023>v3 analog out>500e. pretty much guarantee you won't want the v3 after that...I did that comp and sold my v3 the next day.

I bet DPA > V2 > Mytek Stereo 192 would sound great, and probably real similar to what you are used to with the Apogee sound right now. The Mytek has the warmth and punch you are looking for, and the V2 will provide all the detail that those DPA's are so famous for.

i don't think the mytek is warm at all

Michal at mytek says he designed the stereo192 to be as transparent as possible

but yeah, 4022 (or 4026!) > v2/v3 > mytek is nice

really? I think it is real similar to the warmth of the AD-1000, or maybe it's the "umph" that I confuse with warmth. Or possibly I'm hearing more of my Sonosax when combined with the Mytek. Either way, I think the mytek is the finest ADC on the market for our purposes.

but worth carrying mics+pre+adc+recorder, i dunno...... i guess folks still lug mics>v2>ad2k>lappy around so what do i know

why cant mytek and grace team up and make the sweetest setup out there

duh, just put 2 and 2 together, this is the brian p i know from biscuits tapes, aka brian porter, i tell you what, his latest bisco with schoeps>sax>mytek is ROCKIN, it is honestly tempting me to sell the sax+akg and buy some mk4/41's>lemosax and somehow sell a kidney to afford the mytek If i wasnt diggin my last 483>sax>722 bisco tape, i would maybe do it

[F.O.Bean]

hmmm, youre right
