Re: HD192 vs 896 Mk3

Thanks fokof, I believe the 828 & the 896 are very similar and have the same converters and preamps on them. Strangely enough, I purchased mine for many of the same reasons you have stated.

Now, let's go record some masterpieces!

Re: HD192 vs 896 Mk3

I've had my HD192 for several years now, when used with an Avalon a Rosetta and a nice mic, my outcomes are every bit as intimate and desirable as a lot of things I've heard done on Pro Tools HD.

HD192 vs 896 Mk3

I currently have an HD192, I was wondering if there's a noticeable difference in the sound quality of the 896Mk3? Mine is in the mail, I purchased it to do live performances and mobile recording.

Merry Christmas!
