Eric Lamontagne Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 In the search for a new product that has the potential to handle the various forms of digital and analog audio on our modern recording carts, I ran across the Renegade 328 mixers, Blue and Grey. Obviously this is a broadcast quality product with features unrelated to our location audio needs. Blue|328: http://www.renegadelabs.com/products/blue328.html Grey|328: http://www.renegadelabs.com/products/gray328.html Expansion Cards: http://www.renegadelabs.com/products/328io.html With the right configuration of modules and using an outboard mic preamp such as a main recorder, I believe this unit shows some practical use potential. Any thoughts? Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go analog into your recorder then into the mixer and back into your recorder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Lamontagne Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 how would you do this? Go analog into your recorder then into the mixer and back into your recorder? Constantin Yes, with any of our modern recorders they have top quality Mic preamp and often direct out digital. This works for my personal setup for booms and plants, wireless receivers would go analog into the 328 directly. The 328 mixers have 4/6/8 analog input cards also and could be configured to be the primary analog input device, though there isn't input gain trims dedicated for every input channel. The beauty of this board however is that it is primarily a digital device. Mirror: I agree BNC connectors are not ideal, though they are functional.

Eric Lamontagne Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 After sending off an email to Kirk at Renegade Labs regarding the possibility of powering from 12v DC, his reply: "The mixer can be powered on 12V DC. Probably want to keep it within +/- 0.25V. The DC connector we use is from Kycon, part number: KPPX-4P. We purchase them from Mouser Electronics." Nice to have such a prompt response.
