Robert Buncher Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I have not had any problems or complaints. I think the filter is for electrical noise produced by a hard drive. The XL-1394 Power Filter is used when connecting bus-powered disk drives, DVD-RAM and hard drive, to the 7-Series recorders. The XL-1394 filters power supply noise generated by these consumer devices from inducing noise into the analog preamplifiers of 7-Series recorders. I don't believe a CF card produces any noise. Here is a link to a thread on the SD forums discussing using a CF card as an external backup writer. http://forums.sounddevices.com/showthread.php?t=2204 Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to a thread on the SD forums discussing using a CF card as an external backup writer. http://forums.sounddevices.com/showthread.php?t=2204 Bob I was worried about this issue when I first put the XL-DVD Ram in my bag (without Sound Devices XL-1394), but I haven't had a problem with noise being induced into the recorder or on the record files. I no longer use the DVD Ram as a primary real time recorder, but I'm sure the day will come when I need to, and I'm not worried about noise as much as I am about problem files. I would like to have a CF Card Extender, so I can have my CF Card readily available for transfers when a client has no way to read DVD Ram. At this point I unplug the XL-DVD Ram and connect the 744T to a computer for transfers, but that's the rare case. I usually hand off DVD Ram and my day is done. Now, if I can find a CF Card Extender (that has a housing for the CF Card instead of a small exposed PC board) and a short right angle Firewire splitter...? Well, have fun making sound for movies, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted November 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Put a faster CF card inside and the speeds is a little better. Not that it makes a difference but just wanted to have the internal CF drive faster then external CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
