The Speed of Sound The Speed of Sound

Why has the Panasonic DA7 become one of Sweetwaters most successful new products?

Well now, thats bit of a controversy.

Some say its the stunning sonic clarity. In fact, EQ Magazine said The sound quality is above reproach while MIX Magazine enthused Superb Audio Quality. Hard to argue with the contention that sound quality is the supreme goal. Then there are those that say its blindingly fast user interface and operation are the heart of the DA7s magic as they result in greater earnings.Why, EQ Magazine says The Ease of use that the DA7 brings to mixing is equally important. All this as MIX magazine opines about its Humongous feature set, excellent user interface and attractive price Whats going on here? Cant these people make up their minds? Seems theyre all just too busy creating great recordings with their DA7s to settle this matter. Why not treat your studio to a DA7, experience the benefits of pristine sound and high G-force speed yourself, then come to your own conclusion? Chances are, youll wind up too involved in making your own great recordings to think about it again.

VM Series A New Concept in Digital Mixing!

Rolands new VM Series digital mixers are excellent examples of Rolands ability to deliver a quality product "and then some." These incredibly powerful processing machines give you enormous control and versatility. You get the mixing power of Rolands VS units, without the limitations of a portable system. With unprecedented capabilities in a digital mixer and easy mobility, the VM mixers are guaranteed to find a home in a wide range of audio applications. All the functions that have made digital mixers so popular get top marks on Rolands V-Mixers. Luxurious automatic faders, 100 scene locators, 2 storable positions per fader, total recall, 12 "flex" busses, and much more provide the ease-of-operation and total control that audio professionals need. You also get complete MIDI control, 48-bit internal processing, up to 16 stereo or 32 mono 24-bit effects, and 24-bit A/D, D/A. But the V-Mixer sets itself apart among digital mixers with two special characteristics. The first is expandability. The system is modular, enabling you to add on to your setup as your mixing demands grow and change. When you need more power, you can use (for example) two mixing consoles to control the one processor, seamlessly integrating your "old" gear into a new setup with no loss of quality. This is where the second characteristic comes in. You can expand your system to handle up to 94 channels of audio! In fact, Rolands V-mixer has more inputs and outputs than any other digital mixer in its class. Whats more, snakes arent needed! The V-Mixers AES digital connector gives it a run-length of up to 200 feet, making it an excellent control "hub" for live performance or any situation where a lot of gear has to be controlled and monitored. Imagine being able to handle even the most complex sound setup with total ease, knowing exactly whats happening in every aspect of the setup and being able to pinpoint and fix a problem when it occurs. The VM Series also has built-in speaker modeling, so you can hear what your sound is like coming from some of the best and most detailed speakers and monitors in the world. The V-Mixer comes in a variety of different configurations (for example, the 7100 Series mixer has 13 faders, while the 7200 Series has 25), but its comprehensive list of features and flexibility makes the Roland V-Mixers definite contenders with some of the best digital mixers on the market.

Digital 328 8-bus Digital Mixer with Attitude!

Want the intuitive ease of your faithful analog desk? Spirits Digital 328 operates like your traditional 8-bus console and not like a computer with faders. Take it out of its box and get started without even opening the manual! Unlike other digital mixers, theres instant access to any channel, group, or master feature, and you can see that features status from the front panel without having to rely on an LCD display. The key to it all is the Digital 328s unique E-strip. Simply select a channel and the E-strip immediately becomes a horizontal input channel with instant access to that channels EQ, aux sends, channel pan, and routing. Alternatively, press any button in the rotaries section above the E-strip and the encoders change to become a channel pan, auxiliary send, or Lexicon effects send for each channel. For a mixer with such a small footprint, the Digital 328 packs in an extraordinary number of inputs. There are 16 analog mic/line channels along with 5 stereo inputs. With the addition of 16 digital tape returns on the 328s TDIF and ADAT optical interfaces, a maximum of 42 simultaneous inputs are possible! By the way, most other digital mixers dont include digital multitrack I/Os, which means you have to buy extra, expensive I/O options. The Spirit Digital 328 is true 24-bit or better throughout. Every point your signal passes through has at least 24 bits of resolution from the A/D converter, processing, effects and back out to the D/A converters all at 24-bits! Thats true 24-bit resolution! The Digital 328 is the only digital mixer that offers the worlds premier name in studio effects on board Lexicon. Two separate Lexicon processing engines are included, offering a full range of reverbs, choruses, delays, and flanges as well as dual effects such as chorus plus delay all with fully editable program and parameter settings. What about dynamics control? The Digital 328 includes two dynamics processors (configured in mono or stereo) which can be assigned to any input, output or groups of ins or outs. Each processor provides a choice of compression, limiting, gating or ducking. EQ? How does 3-bands of fully-parametric EQ per channel, tape return and stereo input strike you? If you want the warm, musical sound of real British analog EQ, look no further. Of course, no console is complete without solid specs in the preamp department. The Digital 328 includes Spirits acclaimed UltraMic+ padless preamps, giving your input signals the cleanest, quietest start of any digital mixer on the market. With 66dB of gain range and a massive +28dBU of headroom, they offer an extremely low noise floor and are virtually transparent. There are just too many good things to say about this digital wonder. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer today for all the details.
