The Kortwich is only a few ounces against the SQN's few pounds. Does the Kortwich have limiters? I know 633 does but SQN limiters still sound good to my ears.

BWilson Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 If your only after bigger faders, SD could possibly make a 3 fader expansion like the cl9. I don't think it would be that hard as the 633 can be used with the cl12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 I think sound devices response would be ...um maybe buy the 664? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kortwich is only a few ounces against the SQN's few pounds. yeah, even a MixPre or X2 is around 700g, the 2channel Kortwich is 300g and the 3channel 320g - quite amazing, makes you wonder if that box is empty. 16 minutes ago, Derek H said: I think sound devices response would be ...um maybe buy the 664? hehe, good point. but we like to make things complicated and weird : ) personally I very rarely need more then 3 preamps, so the X2 was simply the most cost effective option that could also be used for other things.

I don't think you'd hear much of any diffs between MixPreD and 302. The former is a newer design, but both have the SD trafo-pres. The 302 is so amazingly flexible that I'd keep it in any case... Thanks Philip. Yea I've recently started using the 302 outside of location sound work and have been putting it in front of my tascam portastudio for home recordings. A handy tool indeed!
