>>MSG has pretty weak security overall...they didn't even look in my bigass bag for Panic halloween. <<

for non-taper-friendly shows, they definitely wand everyone

I got wanded once when i went to see REM, they even patted me down, felt my MD in my jacket pocket, asked me what i had in there and i replied, "oh, thats my wallet" and they let me through.

Hell of a lot better than Hammerstein ballroom, the security their are a bunch of meat heads.

>>The SD722 is/willbe smaller than a DAP1.  I've seen people stealth a DAP1 before<<

Mark Nutter saw one and says it's v3-sized

smaller

[jpschust]

smaller still!  sorry, missing out on the debate i have no real part of  can't help but be a part of a 21 p debate

[wboswell]

looks like the 722 is vaporware no more...  SD put a picture up!



other points of interest include:

Line level input adjustment in 0.1 dB increments

[F.O.Bean]

picture looks hella cool, i wish i had an endless amount of money, id buy one, or a 744;)

[dmonterisi]

any sense on how/where you mount the camcorder battery or how big the 5000mA camcorder batteries are?

[wboswell]

the unit is only 1.65" x 4.41" x 7.58" in size.  Not sure on the size of the larger batteries

[dmonterisi]

i figure the batteries get mounted externally right?  at least the big ones do?

it says "removable Lion battery"...that suggests internal to me...but i think the bigger ones likely won't fit?  i'm confused as usual.

[Lil Kim Jong-Il]

I thought that I saw in one of the videos that the battery was mounted on a clip on the back of the unit.   It's supposed to be like one of those removable camcorder battery mounts, no?

i think that's most likely right, but i've never watched any of those videos.

That's exactly what I assumed when I read it used the sony camcorder batteries.

Get your asses  over to http://www.coffeysound.tv/ and download the clip called "NAB 2004". The 744 is at the 15.10 mark. There you can see that the battery will not protrude when using the smaller sized batteries.

[wboswell]

just watched the clip...
Looks great and the battery space looks like it wouldn't be an issue.

Unfortunately:  "expected out by the end of July"
