I am supposed to receive one of these machines in a few days and want to figure out what I will need to do to have it work with 3 1/4, 7 1/2 and 15 in/s.
My Preprocessor allows me to invert the XLR signal in the menu, so I assume that takes care of having to sodder the XLR cables to switch pin 2 and 3 at the preprocessor end. Is this correct?
For the more commercial tapes (3 1/4 and 7 1/2), do I need to make any changes to the unit? If so, what changes?
For Taper's Project tapes, do I need to make changes to the unit? If so, what changes? What else do I need to add on to the unit to have it work with the Taper's Project reels?
Is it not possible to run all three tape speed types on the machine without going inside the unit and switching a setting (i.e. switch between 3 1/4 and 15 in/s)? What machine would people recommend as an alternative to this machine that does all three in/s settings, yet doesn't require going inside the unit to change settings nor all of the additional tweaking in order to get the NAB and IEC equalization, etc.?
Thanks.
