Tour Pack


 48 Tracks in Two Boxes!
LiveWire Remote Recorders has made it easy to record multiple tour dates on digital multitrack with a mininum of cost and setup time. Our "Tourpack" is a 48 track studio in two boxes, consisting of 48 high definition ATI Paragon mic preamps, 48 Paragon limiters and a 48 track Tascam X-48 recorder. The output of the recorder is fed to a 48 channel stereo mixer so that a reference mix can easily be routed to a CD-Burner, or a broadcast mobile.

The system also features a Furman ac power regulator to protect the gear from power spikes and brown-outs. A Ward-Beck meter bridge allows the engineer to monitor the stereo output on two high quality VU meters, as well as a phase meter.

The control room output is independent of the stereo mix, so the operator can monitor and solo tracks via headphones, or via Mackie powered speakers.

The entire system is housed in two shock-mounted flight cases. The mic preamps and tape decks are all pre-wired, so the only thing you have to connect is the microphone inputs and two multipin cables.

The ATI mixers feature individual phase reverse, solo, ground lift and 48v phantom power switches. For a complete online manual, visit www.8mx2.com

The whole system only draws 15 amps, and power can be provided via 20 amp Twist-lok or standard U-Ground connectors.

If requested, we can bring along six Tascam DA-88 eight track digital recorders to provide a 48 track backup system. For an extra charge, we can also provide a 48 channel mic splitter and snake, a pair of powered Mackie 824 speakers, audience mics, and intercom system or whatever else you feel will help your production.

Since the equipment only takes up an area the size of two filing cabinets, it can be placed next to the FOH or monitor console, or in a room backstage. There is a photo of the Tourpack system in action in the "Photo Gallery" section of the website. (Row 4 Column 3)
