Good idea? any words of wisdom please. --------------------------------snip---------------------------------- The Sela mixers were (unless I'm mistaken) marketed by Nagra in the U.S. during the 1970s. Their chief virtue, as I remember, was that they could be battery operated. They were also very well-made and lasted a long time. I can't recall ever seeing one that was stereo, however; the two or three I used in the early 1970s were all mono, and were intended to be used with the Nagra III. They also were designed to fit right underneath the Nagra III transport, as I recall. On the other hand, I saw an illo on the net that showed a Sela 2880 being used with a Nagra IVS, and that was definitely stereo. While the Sela's mike preamps were very clean and low-noise for the time (circa 1975), I think there are better ones today. I'd say the newer Shure mixers (FP-42 & FP-33) are better, and you can get them for a few hundred bucks on eBay. --MFW |
