Sony PCM-A10 (Part 2)

[roffels]

Never had an issue and I tapes 100s and 100s of shows . Maybe it is a memory card being slow?

Could be? I haven't really had trouble with the Samsung Evo Select cards but who knows.

Thankfully it was during an introduction to a song from a board feed, so the music wasn't hurt. More a nuisance and minor flaw in the recording.

Edit - to clarify, I've never had issues when the track is split only on the internal memory or on the SD card, this might be the first time I've had it switch from internal memory to the card and caused this issue.

Anyone have any idea how to turn the backlight down a bit?

I don't want it off but it seems super bright.

Anyone have any tips of something I can cover it with if there isn't a setting?

I used to use some medium to dark green lighting gel to darken up the display on the D8 DAT deck.
Cut a rectangle to fit, and use tape on the edges to hold it in place- you could make a flap if you sometimes needed to see the display at regular brightness?

this RoscoLux dark yellow green has 13% transmission, that ought to knock off about 87% of that there light there!?

I had no idea as I've never taken it out at a show since I control it fully via Bluetooth.

What level are folks running the A10 at 10??

What level are folks running the A10 at 10??

I run everything through either a Baby Nbox or Platinum Nbox (mostly Baby).  As a very general rule, I start off at 12 with the Baby, and 4 with the Platinum.  Of course, those are just starting numbers.  At a recent Judas Priest show, I started at 12 and after peeking at the A10 app on my phone a few minutes into the show, I dialed it down to 10 and that was where I left it.

I don't use a preamp, just a battery box, so it all depends on how loud the show is, and how sensitive the mics. Typically in the 10-15 range, though.

I'd say 10-15 as well and then there's room to boost in post if needed.

No good for the increasing number of Yondr shows.

internal mics with limiter, set level to 6 so it doesn't go over.

Isn't there some kind of way to control more than one A-10 unit on the app or am I thinking of the Roland R-07?

I'm pretty sure it has been discussed in this thread.

Ah, ok I see...so, no...but you can connect to one, set, then disconnect, the connect to the other.

Right, the app can only control one A10 at a time, but you can switch in Bluetooth controls. I've done it, it's pretty quick and seamless.
