Roland's D110 was a very underrated little module. It's principal purpose was to provide users with a range of stock sounds that would just be generally useful in a wide range of different musical styles.

Offering 32-voice polyphony and 8-part multi-timbrality, you could buy cards for the D110 to expand the on-board sounds. Typically, these were 'orchestral', 'brass', 'woodwind', etc., making it a versatile source of 'bread and butter' sounds for any number of musical applications. However, the cost of memory at the time was high and so the cards (and on-board memory) only had limited storage. As a result, the samples were short and compromised. That said, in the right hands, the D110 could sound surprisingly good, especially at the time (1988). I remember hearing a demo of one on the Roland stand at a trade show when it was released and it was very impressive (but then, most Roland demos are!).

Grace m905 Monitor controller with digital option. Excellent condition. Only selling it because I upgraded to the Atmos capable M908. The 905 sounds amazing and is incredibly convenient

Now supported is DSD 128x (5.6448MHz) via DoP v1.1 (DSD over PCM frames). DSD audio can be sourced from the AES3, S/PDIF or USB digital inputs. While still a niche playback format, DSD has held its ground over the years, and now more and more content is available via download. And playback is now supported by a number of players. DSD sounds stunningly natural, especially rendered through the rest of the playback circuitry of the m905. So If you’re the type to seek out this kind of fidelity, the m905 is a great way to enjoy it.

The GUI is designed so that any engineer unfamiliar with the m905 can use the system immediately and confidently. Then with a minimal time investment, advanced functions can be accessed and controlled with ease. Additional features include: naming individual inputs and speaker outputs, calibrating level offsets of any input and output, setting preset levels, and much more. The setup menus only ever drill down one level, so the main operating screen is always one button away. And when returning to any previously visited setup menu, its previous edit status is remembered, keeping redundant navigation and editing to a minimum.

The m905 offers the ability to transfer up to 10 channels of digital audio (8-channels of ADAT and two of AES3, or S/PDIF or TOSLINK) over USB to a computer, making the m905 capable of operating as a standalone USB audio interface. This is an advanced feature as there are clock issues to be aware of, but it works and is documented in the owners manual.

With stunning sonic performance and timeless design, the m905 is a mark of genuine progress in the pursuit of high quality audio production. Intuitive, reliable and beautiful, it is the perfect studio centerpiece – home base for your ears, eyes and hands."

The Sony PCM-R300 is a low-cost DAT recorder offering unbalanced RCA analog inputs and outputs, and unbalanced coaxial and optical digital input and output, user setup menu system, adjustable ID6 mode (SCMS).

FEATURES:

• SBM Recording Function, signal to noise ratio equivalent to 20-bit system
• Start ID, End ID, Skip ID front panel control
• Setup menu control
• Error rate display
• Coaxial and optical digital interface
• A/D and D/A monitoring
• Long Play mode - record and playback

High resolution converters deliver superb sound quality
The audio performance of any digital tape recorder is almost entirely dependent on the quality of the A/D and D/A conversion at its inputs and outputs. It is in these converters that the signal is most likely to be degraded. Sony has fitted the PCM-R300 with 20-bit delta-sigma A/D and 1-bit pulse D/A converter technology to ensure stable, highly linear performance with excellent signal-to-noise ratio.

SBM provides 20-bit signal quality from 16 bits
The DAT format uses 16-bit format recording. The signal from the analogue to digital converters is processed by the unique Sony SBM (Super Bit Mapping) circuitry that uses advanced noise shaping techniques to achieve a dynamic range of a 20-bit signal with only 16 bits. This advantage is preserved digitally, so a DAT recording made on an SBM-equipped machine produces a clearer sound on a subsequent CD master.

All three sampling rates supported, including long play
In normal playback mode the PCM-R300 supports sampling rates of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, selectable from the front panel. The 32 kHz long-play format allows up to four hours recording to be made on a standard two-hour DAT cassette. The signal is sampled using 12-bit, non-linear quantisation.

Advanced error correction
The double-encoded Reed-Solomon error correction circuitry is able to correct or conceal many of the errors caused by damaged tapes or poorly recorded material from other machines. The PCM-R300 features an error-rate display that makes it easy to see when head cleaning is due or if a poor quality tape is being used.

ID control
All the controls necessary to record Start ID, Stop ID and Skip ID are available on the panel. They are duplicated on the standard, infra-red RM-D757 Remote Control Unit.

Reliable mechanism
The front-loading mechanism of the PCM-R300 uses a 2 head dual motor design with an advanced servo control system for high reliability and precise tape handling.

Menu system
The PCM-R300 uses a menu system with a large multicolor display to facilitate set up of the following features:

• Copy protect bit and current tape status
• Automatic record mute
• Automatic start ID writing
• DAT duplication – ID copy
• CD-DAT duplication – ID copy
• Display options
• Auto Track Numbering,
• with first track number selection (1-99)
• Digital interface signal format check
• Hours meter – shows total play / record time for maintenance purposes
• The display shows tape time, recording time, tape remaining time and also provides comprehensive input level metering.

2 channel Microphone Pre-amp $1100

Ultimate pristine clean fast straightwire gain for your lovely microphones. It is revered amoung classical, jazz and pop recordists. Even when Im using a neve or api to get punchy distortion on drums I love using this for the overheads or clean ribbon mic gain for something I want to stand out as clear as a bell. Vocals, acoustic guitars, Even snare sometimes gets the love. An old rca 44 or 77 through this beast is full and powerful. I have 8 more channels or I would not sell it. It has been back to Millennia for a tune up and some older power supply components to be replaced last year but otherwise its been solid as a rock. Its now really a vintage piece as its birth was in 1994 but its clean as whistle sonically and cosmetically.
