Hi Tom,
There are some very appealing features about the P-01 (the digital outs and
programable compressor are certainly novel); however, I feel that some very
important features were left off, possibly to make room inside, and possibly
because I only got to see a prototype.
I talked with a gentleman at the Sony booth and came away feeling like the
unit had been designed by someone who had never worked in the field, but had
desigined the P-01 to be what someone in the field *should* want.
I think that the Sound Devices 4 channel ENG mixer reflects more "real
world" needs and offers far more useful features (for less money) and so
that's what I ended up buying. And I absolutely love it!!!
PLUS, dealing with Sound Devices (re: mods & upgrades) is easy. Those guys
are the nicest ever. Have you ever tried to deal with Sony?
But wait, this is starting to sound like a discussion for
rec.audio.movies.production.sound....
Take care,
Mark
