[Sursound] Big Pre-amps?

[Len Moskowitz]

We found Antelope Audio's (https://en.antelopeaudio.com) MP32 32-channel
mic pre-amp, and its Orion and Goliath interfaces.

The interfaces come in USB, Thunderbolt and HDX versions, and are
expandable via MADI. 64 channels is do-able.


Has anyone used these? Any comments on sound quality and software
stability?

A customer is consider using a few OctoMics simultaneously, recording
to computer.
Each OctoMic requires 8 channels of pre-amps.
They'll need up to 72 channels.
Ideally, the pre-amps should have digitally-set and gangable trims.
Any suggestions regarding pre-amps?

Hi Len,
get 2x Merging Horus, its audio quality is extremely good and its
affordable:
http://www.merging.com/products/networked-audio
You can do up to 96 channels of preamp and 96 channels of AD conversion
in just 4 rack units.
Connect them via a switch to a computer, it replaces a soundcard plushas
a headphone output on board.

The ideal companion is Merging Pyramix workstation
http://www.merging.com/products/pyramix/
http://www.merging.com/products/pyramix/masscore-native
It can record up to 96 track at 192 kHz, or 64 channels at 384 kHz, DXD,
DSD256

Cheers,
Othmar Eichinger

Ive used the Orion - there was some driver issues - there was some setup
thing that required the an internet connection as well which proved a pain
as the machine was on site and not online

Hi!

I would look into an AVB-solution from Motu, they have a 2U 16-channel rack unit with digitally controlled preamps, a couple of those and a AVB-switch would probably be a cost effective solution. I haven’t used the new motu preamps but the AVB racks DAC’s sound great for price.

Best,
/Marcus

Have heard good things about the Horus, too, but never used it. A nice alternative (possibly a bit mor affordable) would be three DirectOut Andiamo MC feeding a dual MADI system, or two and a Mictasy.
Btw, nice usage of the word "few" there. Classy. A quick calculation tells me you mean "seven or so". That's the number of SM58s I use on a good day, and I'm very much intrigued if slightly scared thinking of your usecase :-D

They use these at MCO 2 and 3 in the Netherlands. Many of the Metropole Orkest albums that you hear are through them after a Neve VR legend.

Hi, Len!

From personal experience, for quality and unbeatable s/n it’s hard to beat Metric Halo’s ULN8.
And with the upcoming 3D revision (expected in a couple of weeks), it’ll be child’s play to set up multiple units to be seen as one giant system by the computer.
All with digital gain-setting, etc, naturally.
But it’s a rather pricey solution if you need 9 of those… And not super portable.
But perhaps with 9 Octomics, portability isn’t a primary issue to begin with.

Regards,

Well put -- except that 72/8 = 9!
