Philip Perkins Posted November 17 Report Posted November 17 Is anyone here old enough to have used (or owned) one of these? I recall Dave MacMillan using one on a shoot I was a PA on in SF in the late '70s (or so), before he became famous for the "The Right Stuff". At the time I really liked the form factor and what it could do (what did I know?). Several years later a used one showed up at the old ASC in North Hollywood, and the kindly salespeople gently guided me away from it, intimating that was nothing but trouble... It was pretty big, very heavy, and had no channel direct outs, since in those days they figured you were mixing to mono on the set. Quote
Izen Ears Posted November 17 Report Posted November 17 Wow! That thing is beautiful. Bummer about the lack of direct outs. I just bet the preamps are special. Quote
Philip Perkins Posted November 17 Author Report Posted November 17 but noisy... It's interesting that there weren't more of these around considering how ubiquitous the 2880 was for a few years. Quote
