Cheap upgrade 722 -> 744 with four preamps... (not really but...)

["Aaron Ximm" aaron_gmail]

Another Core Sound announcement I missed, Len's got a press release
about a new product called the "4Mic":

"4Mic is a revolutionary, portable, handheld, battery-powered,
four-channel, 24/192 microphone pre-amp/A-D converter. It offers true
24-bit noise, distortion and crosstalk specifications.  With both
coaxial and optical S/PDIF interfaces, it provides four discrete
output channels."

But it was this that made my eyebrows rise...:

"It can also multiplex the four microphone channels into two recorder
channels, turning a two-channel 24/192 recorder into a four-channel
24/96 recorder"

I'll have to see it (or rather hear it!) to believe it but he's
clearly claiming that if you use this $750 box as a front end (he
claimes robust 4 channel phantom btw) you could run its SPDIF output
into a 722 (or maybe Sonosax R2...?) and record four channels.
Monitoring would be interesting to say the least.

Anyone seen this beast?

 best,
  aaron
