digital consoles? 
The discussion has hardly ever end, the struggle between analog and digital professional sound esta presente día a día, pero los que trabajamos con equipamiento en sonido en vivo, sabemos que lo digital (y no hablamos de consolas y procesadores de incalculable precio!) están ya para quedarse, resistirse a no utilizar consolas digitales de acotado precio es casi imposible.
Podemos hacer algo al respecto?, pensamos que sí, las posibilidades que nos brinda lo digital son muchas, la calidad que podemos obtener con proceso y/o procesadores ánalogos, también... Entonces, la respuesta es clara, intentar combinar el potencial de lo digital, con la calidez de la analogía.
Sin lugar a dudas, YAMAHA, en sus lineas de consolas de mediano y pequeño porte (hablamos de la M7CL y LS9, respectivamente) es almost the standard for suppliers of live sound. The sound technicians, we tired to talk and discuss the best way how to use them for best audio, large number of forums, we read things like that at a lower level, the converters have less resolution, compensation headroom, etc., all leads to one conclusion: The preamps and converters of input and output are of high quality. But if you know that the number of possibilities, number of inputs, auxiliary, matrix, eq, internal routing, etc, are many, and serve. So it is good to know that optimize in part the shortcomings, it is possible, without leaving the digital potential.
Preamplifiers We external rethink on expansion cards (discussed in this blog) and the possibility of Interfaces with preamps and converters of better quality. The case of
AD8HR Interface, is a great option are the same as the PM5000 preamps, converters 24bits/96Khz, incredible dynamic range (110 dB), crosstalk of-80db at 1 kHz, with these 8 preamps very good quality, the possibility of 2 digital outputs AES / EBU, we can route the signal to the FOH and monitors, or recording very easy and with the possibility of implementing a remote via RS422. With expansion boards MINI YGDAI
or MY8AE96 MY16-AE of inputs and outputs, AES / EBU in the mixer, we have 8 preamps and assigned by the PATCH IN to channels that we see fit and without doubt, achieve a significant improvement (do not forget that the important work of great channel, the behavior of eq and other features will be handled in a digital way!). Dynamic Processes
external interfaces with AD / DA, either YGDAI MINI plates, or external such as AD and
AD8HR DA824, we thought of inserting dynamics processors of similar quality by points insertion into canals, ancillary / sub master (or aux fixed), matrix, etc. Enlarge
display Publishers, almost all consoles now available for PC and MAC, provides the same tools that we can control and view certain sections in the mixer, often in live operation, the times are critical at the time of the show, a computer connected (by RED and / or USB as appropriate) gives us the ability to view and operate it by other things (Racks, Meters, Level Masters, etc), another great achievement of the editors, is the ability to handle the patching, managing OFF LINE scenes, etc., as we know, of great importance in use of digital consoles in festivals and win situations where time is important.
The possibilities are many, always use is subject to what we need to improve, the important thing is to think that a tool does not always achieve what we are looking for, the music, the approach and the concept is so determined.
