Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

I have been wanting to set up my components for recording of broadcasts for a while now so this would be good incentive to shift my backside into gear.

My Sansui TU-X1 has been restored and improvements made.  I am very happy with the results at the moment.  First let's see if it gives you what you want in a recorded performance.  If the recordings are not good enough quality then I would look into why and what to do.

I have RCA-XLR adaptors and can shift cables so that is no problem.

I would probably start testing using TU-X1 FM OUTPUT (FIXED) as a first option.

Format should be no problem as I can output whatever the Lavry Blue ADC will do (up to 96/24).  The main restriction is that without broadband (we live in a semi rural area) I would have to copy the files to CDR and post.  The recording time available on a 74 minutes blank CDR are not great and would be: -

44.1/16 ~ 74 minutes.
44.1/20 ~ 42.9 minutes.
48.0/20 ~ 39.4 minutes.
88.2/20 ~ 21.5 minutes.
96.0/24 ~ 19.7 minutes.

I guess it depends on the length of the performance but I probably can split a recorded performance into multiple tracks and then transfer to multiple CDRs.  I will have to run some tests.  You can then use your editing software to merge tracks.

I have the Lavry Blue ADC attached to an Alesis hard disk recorder so recording and editing on my end is no problem.

I assume that you are bypassing the Lavry Gold preamplifier and your cabling is: -

     TU-X1 FM OUTPUT (FIXED) [R] output -> RCA-XLR adapter -> Lavry Gold ADC XLR [R] input.
     TU-X1 FM OUTPUT (FIXED) [L] output -> RCA-XLR adapter -> Lavry Gold ADC XLR [L] input.

I would still need to know from you: -

a.  What settings (front panel buttons) you use on your TU-X1 when recording.

b.  What settings (selectable options) you use on your Lavry Gold ADC.  I think they are the same selectable options as for my Lavry Blue ADC.  For example, analog soft saturation; digital soft saturation; dither: acoustic bit correction or ABC-1 or ABC-2.
