Topic: Anyone know anything about this Fostex FR2 LE (previously FR3 LE)

[GDfan]

Got mine from the Ebay forum here, and it works great, gonna take it out tonight for Ratdog.
I got a battery/charger for a comparable price to ebay(when you consider shipping and time), and from a local RC car place(I like supporting small local businesses). Anyone seen any aftermarket cases?

+T, thanks the one from fostex is sorta what I was looking for.

I am listening to my recording from tonight right now, and it sounds spectacular. very easy to use, great sound and the battery life with the tamiya 7.2v is unbeatable. I dig this unit
I ran unit 3 1/2 hours and the battery still reads as full.

+T's all around for the useful info here.

This sounds really friggin good.

Question, on Enter Sandman the levels get backed off a bit... was this done with the trim knobs or the main L/R levels?

[Jammin72]

Also this is clear enough to hear an electronic crackle or fuzz around most of the instruments.  Doesn't seem to be overload of any sort since it's not happening with drum kicks.

Was Chris having issues with the PA this night?  I've noticed an edge to most copies of this Panic show so far but this is the first I've been able to really isolate it.  Best way I know to describe it is the way a wireless rig starts to sound as the battery is dying.

the main l/r knob was used to back off.

Thanks!  Did you run Line In (1/4") from the Wendt?

It's not happening in the first set.  Something got toasted during Enter Sandman.

nope I used the xlr ins. I may have to use the 1/4" to compare some time.

[sygdwm]

if you run xlr>xlr (mic-in) you are essentially running 2 pre's (pre>pre). so, i would suggest using the 1/4" ins (line-in). your battery consumption will drastically improve as well.
