Re: [ARSCLIST] Mitsubishi 2-track digital formats, compatibility, etc.



THANK YOU, Claus!

What is X-86-C and how do I know if my machines are that?

I had assumed DASH and PD are different.

So there are four 2-track X-8x-x formats? GAK!

Point well taken about the "sound" of the converter.

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard,

X-8x-x Mit is not compatible with DASH... DASH is PCM based and Prodig is
different.

To make things more complex:

X-80 comp with the X-86-C not X-86
X-86 comp with the X-86-C, NOT X-80
X-86-C comp with X-80 (PB only), X-86, NOT HS
X-86-HS comp with X-86, X-86-C, NOT X-80, and had a unique HS setting.

In transferring this format there are a couple of PD to PCM DtoD converters,
but since these machines were used in the analog domain as mastering
machines, we have to keep in mind that the sound of he converters are part
of the sound that engineers heard and used. I would capture in the analog
domain with these machines.

Hope this helps,

Claus.
