hi David,
thanks for the answer.
what makes me curious is why everybody buys sound devices and not a
sonosax. it seems to be high quality and they are a bit cheaper than
the SD.. (at leats when you need 4 preamp channels.)
i understand that for production sound it features do not compare to
the sound devices (thats what i heared), but thats not important for
us nature recordists.
so maybe the pre amps are a little bit more noisy?
most likely not, but what about the "sound" from the pre amps?
isn=B4t there anybody here tryed them both?
all the best
