The scary thing is that Studer used the 301s in a bunch of consoles and
actually managed to make them sound good. I'd never have believed it
if I hadn't heard it for myself.
All things considered that drives another nail in the coffin of the
theory that slew rate always matters.
Oh, the 301 has great slew rate when used as a unity-gain follower. It's
when you get gain out of it that there's an issue.
No, it doesn't; with unity-gain compensation it has a slew rate of about
0.5V/us.
Good for about 8kHz @ +20dBu.
Studer clearly made some (reasonably valid) assumptions about likely spectral
content.
