Oh cool! Let me see - I started quite a thread in the classical forum. A lot of people are using them - the issue turns out not to be sonics, my first thought, but rather for phantom power - if the shield goes faulty then you're out of luck. I'm assessing options right now and will get in touch if I lean this way, thank you for the kind offer. There is a certain wow factor for me for sure. This whole thing came about because I'm trying to clean up my kit/cables for maximum ease and speed setting up and breaking down and looking into options.

Wow, this seems so much faster and smarter than pulling mic cables all over the place! Someone in the classical recording forum said he made his own using high end components/connectors. For dialogue and sound this is a no brainer!; perhaps a critical listen before going all in on musical material.

Hi Jeff, well, the Instasnake just came on my radar, and being skeptical about the sound quality of this kind of tech, I started googling and ended up on this thread. Wondering if Whitlock ever got back to you on distortion/saturation etc. Along with production mixing I do classical recording, so curious if this is a viable solution for music as well. 10 years later, curious of your thoughts and impressions regarding this. Thank you! Thomas

Hi everyone. I found this thread through a google search, and am joining the forum because it looks like there are a lot of Tascam users here. I have an HS-P82 on demo and one of the ways I would like to use it as a digital recorder fed from AES from my Merging Technologies Hapi, which has high end mic preamps and converters, and conveniently, and AES digital I/O. I've hooked it up to the Tascam, but have gotten no signal on channels 7&8, and the sample rate loses sync constantly. I'm limited in my troubleshooting ability, but I have eliminated the cable as a possible cause for the failure. This unit records analog fine, no problems. Latest firmware installed (I believe). Has anyone here used the HS-P82 to successfully record 8 channels of AES digital, and if not, would any of you be willing to try? I'm at a loss as to why I'm having this problem and would like love to get this workflow happening.
