D&R 8000 series
Hi,
I'm looking for infos on the D&R 8000 series. It was made in the early '80. The manual and the service manual are online but I can't find infos on how it sounds like. http://www.d-r.nl/dnrsite/Service%20...riesManual.PDF It seems similar to soundcraft consoles but it's only a guess... Are the recent series better? Any idea? F. |

You mean they didn't put that in the manual? g D&R consoles were never very popular because it wasn't all that big of a company, but I've never heard of anyone who had one who didn't like it. I suppose you "found one at a very good price"? Know your seller and the console's history! |

Are the recent series better? Any idea? The D&R stuff is a step up from the Soundcrafts. I have not used the older 8000-series, but their Dayner and Cinemix consoles are all over the place in Europe. They just work... the layout is intuitive, the equalization does what you think it ought to, the routing is clean and there are no stupid tricks to learn. I like them. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

D&R 8000 series
I just discovered the company....
and I had the opportunity to buy one but now it's gone. What other brands are there in Europe to look after to? I'm looking for some 32+ channels console for studio mixing. I made some records with Soundcraft mixers (DC2020, 3200, TS24) but I feel I want something of better quality. What about Amek? (Angela, Big, Mozart, Rembrandt series are "popular" here in Europe). Or TAC? Sountracks? Mitec? And where's the problem in using a console made for live concerts like Midas Verona or Soundcraft Series 4 or Yamaha 4000 for example? Thanks F. |

Or TAC? Sountracks? Mitec? Those Soundcrafts are pretty nice. What didn't you like about them? I think you'll find all of those to be pretty much the same. Amek had good designs, particularly during the Neve years, but they have had some manufacturing problems. They're OK if you get a good one, but there are some dogs out there. And where's the problem in using a console made for live concerts like Midas Verona or Soundcraft Series 4 or Yamaha 4000 for example? If you're recording concerts, they're fine. But the difference between a live sound console and a recording console is the arrangement of inputs and outputs. A recording console will have inputs (from the recorder) to what amounts to a whole other mixer that's used for monitoring while tracking. If you're using a computer as your recorder and mixer, you'll suffer latency problems when doing overdubs, but you don't need nearly as many inputs as if you were using a real recorder and using the console as your mixer. |
