Hier mal eine KI-Zusammenfassung von Curtis Judds erstem Test der Preamp-Qualität des FLOW 4V:
Preamp Technology
Midas Preamps: He notes that the device uses Midas-designed preamps, which are known for quality in Behringer's higher-end mixers like the X32 and Wing [48:02].
Dual Analog Pathways: He explains that each input features two discrete analog pathways to optimize gain for the pre-amplifier and converters, which are then combined into a 32-bit float signal [01:13:54].
High Input Level: He highlights the impressive maximum input level of +18 dBu for the microphone inputs, which is significantly higher than many other prosumer recorders that typically max out around +4 dBu [30:45].
Zum Vergleich: +4 dBu sind die Werte des Zoom F3 und F6, die MixPre-Recorder von Sound Devices liegen bei +14dBu.
Noise Performance (EIN)
Technical Specs: The equivalent input noise (EIN) is specified at -130 dBu (or -132 dBu A-weighted), which Judd mentions is right in line with other high-quality 32-bit float field recorders [30:21].
Live Testing: Judd performed a "dummy XLR" test (using a 150-ohm resistor) during the session to verify the noise floor [44:03].
Results: After gaining the recording up by 60 dB in post-production, the max RMS was still at -84 dB, which he described as "extraordinary" and better than many other 32-bit float recorders he has used [47:36].
Bei seinen Test der MixPres kam er auf -71db bei +45db und -72.32 dB bei +76db.
Jetzt muss man noch richtige Tests und Real Life-Vergleiche abwarten. Aber wenn sich bewahrheiten sollte, dass der FLOW 4V tonqualitativ auf dem Niveau der MixPres oder sogar besser performt, für diesen Preis...
