Amek 9098 mic pre MS Matrix -Anyone use it?
I'm going to be recording a choir in a church tonight with direct to
stereo DAT via an Apogee rosetta using the Amek 9098 mic preamp. This unit has a MS matrix built in. I've never really understood how to use it correctly as the manual is very poorly written and hard to understand. I want to try an MS technique with the fig 8 mic being a Coles 4038, u87 or 414EB. There are buttons on the pre for MS in, MS out and width. I'm going to leave the width at "normal" stereo to avoid phase issues. If the output of the pre is going to be direct to stereo DAT, should I press both the MS in and out? It says in the manual to have output MS set to ON if the output is to be MS and leave the output MS off if the output is to be L-R. -- -- John Noll Retromedia Sound Studios Red Bank, NJ 07701 Phone: 732-842-3853 Fax: 732-842-5631 http://www.retromedia.net |

John, The major point of M/S recording is that you can record the M and S signals directly, and matrix them to L and R stereo in post-production. That lets you defer all decisions regarding stereo width until a less hectic time, when you already have the recording "in the can." I don't know how the Amek unit is arranged for M/S. But to me, the most useful way would be to monitor the various possible L/R stereo renderings through headphones or speakers while passing the M and S signals directly on to the tape (or hard drive, etc.). |

I'll be passing the tape on to someone else for post production so I'd like to have the stereo image "set" while recording live. -- -- John Noll Retromedia Sound Studios Red Bank, NJ 07701 Phone: 732-842-3853 Fax: 732-842-5631 http://www.retromedia.net |
