Guys,
I?m needing some help here.
On the 29th of August I will be getting together with some engineers to do a
?shoot out? with some mic pres we pooled together. We have confirmed a couple
details and secured some good converters (a DAC1 and Apogee), will be using a
Rode NT200 in Omni as a test mic (this mic is quite popular in
semi-pro/home studio?s here in SA) going direct to a DAW.
A couple pres confirmed include: Mackie VLZ, Behringer Ultragain, Focusrite
Green, Millennia HV-3, Telefunken V672 and my own DIY Peter C Greens. I am
hoping to also include some Avalon and Summit pieces. If possible I?ll try
and make the recordings available to those who are interested.
It was suggested by one of the engineers to use pink noise to set the the
gain stages of all the pre?s prior to the session, which I think is a good
calibration test, agree?
The stumbling block right now is the consistency of the tracks being recorded.
In order to do a proper A/B we need the source to be spilt into each pre and
record that output direct.
Now where I need help is what is the best way to do this? How do I use a
single mic and then spilt it?s output into the various pres? I thought of
just making a cable splitter but then thought this will/would run into
impedance issues? Any advice?
Thanks
Matt
