NV112 direct to recorder

Richard Tipple · Post by **Richard Tipple** » 7 Nov 2006 3:20 pm

Im waiting on my new Fostex 24 channel digital recorder to be delivered. In the mean time I am wondering if a good signal can be aquired by running a line from the NVs hi Z on the rear of the NV112 direct to the Fostex ?
I can use my SM57s, but was wondering if a direct line would be cleaner signal

I've recorded direct to my Fostex VF160 recorder via the XLR out on both my NV 1000 and NV 112. I've also recorded using an SM57 mike and really can't hear enough difference to worry about. Others may have a different opinion.

I XLR to the board and monitor with just enough digital reverb in front of the amp to play but not interfere with mixing. This sounds good to me for E-9th. At home, I'm getting around to running two amps: (1)XLR from the NV 112 (dry) and (2) using a second amp with rev and delay to monitor only. At some point I would like to add a switch on the NV 112 that shuts the speaker off and just sends the XLR.

All you have to do is turn down the Master Gain and you won't get any speaker output. But, it doesn't affect the preamp or the XLR output. That's the way I run mine when recording with the XLR output.

The Nashville 1000 works the same way.

Thanks Jack, For the tip. That's the ticket. That makes it a versatile little amp. The XLR is quiet to tape.

Thanks Jack, I didn't know that either and I'll use it tomorrow. Great idea. Larry

Hey Richard, I'll just add to the positive posts. I recorded 2 Nashville 12's stereo from the preamp/xlr out as well as miking them with 2 57's and I liked both of them but the preamp/xlr was cleaner and easier to work with in the tracks. Good luck.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Bob Martin on 10 December 2006 at 11:10 PM.]</p></FONT>

I'll be the first to admit that my recording is somewhat limited, however, I have recorded several commercial spots for a local advertising producer in his studio.

I'm playing a D10 Emmons PP, Hilton pedal and Nashville 112. Nothing else.

We have tried it both ways, and even went direct into one track and mic into another track at the same time.

We have always gotten "cleaner" tracks going direct, but seems to lose a little "warmth".

Hope that this is helpful!

Even the small distance from the speaker to the mike will let the sound breath a little and that is lost when the track go's direct. Jay Dee talks about mike placement in great detail on his website and one point he made was related directly to the distance the sound traveled to get to the mike. On most of the real session's I've done, it was miked. For my own home stuff, I use the XLR on my 112/1000.
