Hi all -
Thanks to a lovely gearslut buddy, I have one of these to use (gotta love friends who upgrade and share
)
The unit is currently configured to power CS HEB's, however I will be using it with my CMC8s for the time being.
However, some questions (and yes, I'll call Len as needed but you guys don't scare me as much
)
1. Will my CMC8s run adequately using the power setup for HEBs? Chris at SP says that the CMC8s can handle up to 12v so it seems like they won't get fried (?) but I just want to check and see if anybody has tried using regular plug-in power mics with this unit when it's configured for the DPA mics. What happens? Or, what SHOULD happen in theory? I will run via a BB if necessary, but figured I'd ask about this before adding another link int he chain.
2. Can the 2496 be used NON optical? I also have an R09 and would also be interested in using this unit as a standalone preamp (iow, running analog and letting the Edirol do the AD). How would I set it up for that?
TIA for any help. Hope to get this rig up and running for a gig next week so am trying to get as much info as possible!
