Wewus432 Posted December 15, 2002 Posted December 15, 2002 So did anyone buy one of these yet from [url=http://www.fmraudio.com/]FMR Audio[/url] ? I was hearing a lot of pre-release info but never heard from anyone that actually bought one. I know some of you guys are using The RNC.
not Cereal Posted December 15, 2002 Posted December 15, 2002 i'm interested, somebody here must have bought one. is that the one with a tube in it or is it all solid state? (quick, lets hide before that jerkoff finds us)
Wewus432 Posted December 15, 2002 Author Posted December 15, 2002 No tube, they are supposed to be super high quality for that price range. ($400.00 range)
not Cereal Posted December 15, 2002 Posted December 15, 2002 sounds great. lets hear from someone who has one!

OT... just got a small Berry mixer for my kid (602a) $59,95 at the Friend. Very quiet for the money. Tranparent pre's (to my rotten ears) too. Actually sounds as good as the mackie to me. Bill
Nawor Posted December 15, 2002 Posted December 15, 2002 I'm hangin' out too. Harvey Gerst gave a positive review but it would be good to hear from one of the regulars here. According to Fletcher's website, there's a heap of backorders for these things. http://www.mercenary.com/fmrrnmp.html It's an instrumentation amplifier class A design. Athough it uses no tubes or transformers, from what I've read it's supposed to have 'iron' in the sound (al la Neve) but with 'air' in the top end. Kind of 'balls' and 'finesse' at the same time. Anyway go figure. The proof's in the listening. ;) "WARNING!" - this artificial fruit juice may contain traces of REAL FRUIT!!
Wewus432 Posted December 15, 2002 Author Posted December 15, 2002 So I guess they're still on back order. If I was buying a front end for recording work right now that's what I would go for, along with the RNC and a Studio Projects C1 mic. Where's my friend eljefe? He was considering buying that very set-up.

not coaster MODERATOR Posted December 15, 2002 Posted December 15, 2002 I helped a guy spend some money yesterday. We went with the new Studio Projects pre, the RNC and a C-1. All for under $600. We would have just as easily picked up the the RNMP but the SP was what was available. I will take this opportunity to say that I'm jealous of the set up and would go out and do the same for myself if I was in the market. It's AMAZING the stuff that's out there for under $200 right now. Kudos to the little guys who fight hard to bring us this stuff.
Bob Keelan Posted December 15, 2002 Posted December 15, 2002 First off, I'm thrilled so see a 'real' thread these days. :thu: People at some of the other forums (harmony central, etc.) are talking like they love them but I'm not sure how many RNPs are out there yet. Don't know if you've seen the latest little trick out of the Studio Projects bag. Have a look: http://studioprojectsusa.com/c4.html bob
not coaster MODERATOR Posted December 15, 2002 Posted December 15, 2002 Nice stuff those new SP I already own a pair of Oktavias m012 so I don't have to lust after these bad boys. thank goodness.
