General Discussion / Studer A800: Synching an MKI and MKIII?
« on: September 25, 2010, 10:13:47 AM »
Hello all,
I'm the proud owner of a 24track A800 MKIII and am considering partnering it up with an MKI that is available fairly cheap. However - anyone able to give me a run-down of the relative advantages/disadvantages of the MK I vs. the MKIII (was there an MKII BTW?) and whether it is possible (or even a good idea) to synch an MKI and an MKIII?
ANy thoughts gratefully received - and glad to see this forum is growing fast. I new I wasn't the only person out there who thought buying antiquated old tape machines that weigh a ton is a good idea. ;-)
As per forum rules - the real name:
