swaneon Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 here are some pics of my recently arrived tascam Testing phantom power and pre amp. things to note: the xlr inputs are extremely strong--not TOO difficult but force is required after pushing the clip down to pull the XLR off Using an NTG3 +48v on the tascam with 4x fresh eneloop 2000mah at 24 bit, 48k i had about 3 hours and ~5 minutes before it died. I have a sampling between the mix pre d into the recorder and without it if you guys want to listen, though there is a computer in the background and its pretty rough. Still it does paint a pretty clear indication of the tascam's preamp vs the Mix PD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrd456 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Interested to know about the smoothness of the operation of the detented pots on the DR-60D when handling program material.Does it work for live mixing? J.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Duffy Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 the xlr inputs are extremely strong--not TOO difficult but force is required after pushing the clip down to pull the XLR off In testing, we found it varies with the cable/connector brand. Multiple insertions should loosen it up. One handed removal (pulling the XLR and pushing the clip at the same time) may give it an awkward angle and more friction, so experiment a bit to find a good technique for your setup. What brand of XLR connector is on your cables? Tom (TASCAM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swaneon Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 heres some sample: there is a hum in the backgroundhttps://www.dropbox.com/sh/8qjpnykyr7letv3/jlJxVnDDat7 is the Tascam by itself (on low gain)8/9 is with mix pre d (9 is at lower volume)I'd say its very usable--and i like the design/build Rode ntg3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
