Core Sound Announces Three New Products At AES-2005 in NYC
At the AES-2005 conference in NYC, Core Sound announced three new
products: 4Mic, HeadLine and 2Phant. Here are some excerpts from the Press Release: 4Mic is a revolutionary, portable, handheld, battery-powered, four-channel, 24/192 microphone pre-amp/A-D converter. It offers true 24-bit noise, distortion and crosstalk specifications. With both coaxial and optical S/PDIF interfaces, it provides four discrete output channels. It can also multiplex the four microphone channels into two recorder channels, turning a two-channel 24/192 recorder into a four-channel 24/96 recorder. It also includes a few important features that allow it to be used for Ambisonics-type surround-sound recordings, creating for the first time the possiblity of a handheld, high-resolution, surround sound recording system. It is the only handheld, battery-powered microphone pre-amp that can provide a full ten milliamps of 48 Volt phantom power per channel, allowing it to be used with Earthworks, Schoeps and other high current requirement microphones. HeadLine is a handheld, portable, combined DAC and headphone amplifier, offering both headphone and Line-level outputs. Noise is down 135 dB. Using only the finest components and powered by two nine-Volt batteries, it accepts digital audio data from coaxial and optical S/PDIF inputs, analog audio from Line-level inputs, and feeds its very high quality analog signal to headphone and Line-level outputs. 2Phant is a portable, battery-powered, two channel 48 Volt (P48V) Phantom Power supply. Unlike almost all battery-powered phantom power supplies, it can provide 10 milliamps of current to both microphones simultaneously. This allows it to power Earthworks, Schoeps, Neumann, AKG and other high current requirement microphones.

If your mics need more current than the PS2 can provide (and there are bunch of mics that the PS2 can't power), and you want a battery-powered supply, then 2Phant will do the job. -- Len Moskowitz PDAudio, Binaural Mics, Cables, DPA, M-Audio Core Sound http://www.core-sound.com Teaneck, New Jersey USA Tel: 201-801-0812, FAX: 201-801-0912 |

Len what software would open this file
does it can combine 4 to 2 with ability send each channel individually to each track does the input take line level? limiters ? how much gain do you have metering ? does it work with 16.8v external power ? the dac does it have individual channel monitoring ability , mono ,ms , summing the digital input to one side and analog to the other?? external powering ? thanks Oleg "Chel van Gennip" wrote in message ...

I hope to see documentation of these devices on your website soon. I understand the 2Phant will help with possible phantom problems if you are using a Microtrack together with some microphones. Will the 4Mic together with the Microtrack give you a 4-channel 24/48k recorder?

Correct, as well as helping those who need a solid phantom power supply for the high-current requirement mics. Will the 4Mic together with the Microtrack give you a 4-channel 24/48k recorder? (Assuming the software update that fixes the Microtrack S/PDIF problems) Yes, that is what we designed it to do. -- Len Moskowitz PDAudio, Binaural Mics, Cables, DPA, M-Audio Core Sound http://www.core-sound.com Teaneck, New Jersey USA Tel: 201-801-0812, FAX: 201-801-0912 |

Len what software would open this file You'd bring the file to your PC and a simple utility would break it either into individual mono tracks or two stereo tracks. does the input take line level? Indeed it does. At minimum gain, 4Mic will accept over 2 Volts before hitting 0 dBFS. That's true Line level without the need for attenuator cables. limiters ? Nope. With a true 24-bits of dynamic range you should never need to be anywhere near 0 dBFS. how much gain do you have We'll post specs for 4Mic as soon as we return from AES metering ? Yes, for all four channels. does it work with 16.8v external power ? 7 to 14 VDC. Why would you need 16.8? the dac does it have individual channel monitoring ability , mono ,ms , Monitoring will allow you to choose either pair of channels. If you need other options, now's the time to let us know. summing the digital input to one side and analog to the other?? I'm not quite sure what you mean. Care to explain a bit? external powering ? Yes. And it allows for either independent gain control for each channel or a single control for all four channels. The latter feature is a requirement for Ambisonics-type recording. -- Len Moskowitz PDAudio, Binaural Mics, Cables, DPA, M-Audio Core Sound http://www.core-sound.com Teaneck, New Jersey USA Tel: 201-801-0812, FAX: 201-801-0912 |

Indeed it does. At minimum gain, 4Mic will accept over 2 Volts before hitting 0 dBFS. That's true Line level without the need for attenuator cables. limiters ? Nope. With a true 24-bits of dynamic range you should never need to be anywhere near 0 dBFS. not so true on dialog recording - even after rehearsal they do what ever they wont:-) doest it have hard limiters in A to D stage not to get brick wall? how much gain do you have We'll post specs for 4Mic as soon as we return from AES metering ? Yes, for all four channels. what kind? does it work with 16.8v external power ? 7 to 14 VDC. Why would you need 16.8? most of us in film business working with li-ion batteries 14.4 v ( np-1 or brick style) which comes 16.8 directly from the charger since we are talking go light the nimh and sla are not expectable ( Len some of us carry 12-15 kg equipment in the bag) to put another adaptor which take efficiency to 80 % with what your internal regulator take is to wais allot of power and additional weight ( and additional connectors and space) the dac does it have individual channel monitoring ability , mono ,ms , Monitoring will allow you to choose either pair of channels. If you need other options, now's the time to let us know. ms , ability to hear every channel in every configuration mono sum , a+b on one side and c+d on other , a,b,c on one side , d on the other for example summing the digital input to one side and analog to the other?? I'm not quite sure what you mean. Care to explain a bit? I understand that the dac can take 2 sources 1 DIGITAL and 1 analog to amplify or its only take digital input - I might be wrong what did you write external powering ? Yes. 16.8? And it allows for either independent gain control for each channel or a single control for all four channels. The latter feature is a requirement for Ambisonics-type recording. best -- Oleg Kaizerman (gebe) Hollyland -- Len Moskowitz PDAudio, Binaural Mics, Cables, DPA, M-Audio Core Sound http://www.core-sound.com Teaneck, New Jersey USA Tel: 201-801-0812, FAX: 201-801-0912 |

Does the MicroTrack allow 4-channel recording, using both the analog and digital inputs? (the "fix" that they told me was in for S/PDIF was 24-bit recording) I didn't think to look for a 4-channel mode when browsing the menus at the unit they had on display at the AES show, but I would be surprised if it has this capability. |

MicroTrack 24/96 by itself is a two-track device. Once it has the ability to record 24/96 via its S/PDIF input, if you connect 4Mic to its S/PDIF input it should be able to record four tracks of 24/48. If I read M-Audio's MicroTrack 24/96 firmware update release notes correctly, this update only allows it to record via the S/PDIF at up to 24/48. That's better than the original 16/48, but still not what's needed for four track recording with 4Mic. -- Len Moskowitz PDAudio, Binaural Mics, Cables, DPA, M-Audio Core Sound http://www.core-sound.com Teaneck, New Jersey USA Tel: 201-801-0812, FAX: 201-801-0912 |

Surely you can record four mics on two tracks (a single stereo file) since that's what a mixer does, but how do you make the recorder create two stereo files or four mono files? |

A software utility on your PC will break them up into either two stereo WAV files or four mono WAV files. -- Len Moskowitz PDAudio, Binaural Mics, Cables, DPA, M-Audio Core Sound http://www.core-sound.com Teaneck, New Jersey USA Tel: 201-801-0812, FAX: 201-801-0912 |

Do you get anything you can listen to directly, or do you have to first copy the file and then split it up in to 4 tracks, then mix? |

I think what Richard is asking about (and I, another Richard, am also interested in the same) is a less "fiddly" and complex device than using a PDA, but something capable of the quality of your mic preamp/ADC with ~inexpensive removable media. IMHO, the ideal media for a portable recording device is a laptop hard drive (2.5 inch) They have been developed to be relatively rugged in the field and you can't beat the $/GB storage costs. |
