I have 2 x TG500's, a 99V500 and an NV500.

I'll pick up another NV500 before the 99V. The NV500 is just gold. I found the 99V a bit flat for voice (Wagner U47 > 99V > MC77). Didn't leap out at me the way it did through the NV, though a million times nicer than the Purple Biz I used to have.

Next up is a pair of 500 series comps. So far I'm looking at the Anamod 660 and the Pendulum OCL 500, which was shown at AES but is not available yet. I heard JLM were working on comps but not sure if/when they'll be available. I'm liking the idea of a mix buss consisting the 2 TG's, my E27's and the Anamods.

hello tim

my diffusor is made from 323 square blocks of balsa. held together on frame made of pine and MDF

i might have to steal nic's NV500 and do some proper comparisons with my MA5's.. the lack of PAD renders it useless on drums (except for OHs and rooms)

It looks good - does it perform well??
I gather you cut the balsa lengths yourself??

I spoke to Joe Malone a few weeks ago and he does in fact have the MACs (Micro Audio Compressor) available. Not sure what the story is with the cases, he was waiting for the metalwork/screen printing to be finalised - don't quote me though :) , but if you had your own chassis you can get the guts of it now.

Here's the link to his forum site and specifically the MAC info, there are three pages, here is the link to the first.

Thanks. I'm looking for 500 series comps though.

Me + Solder = Disaster.

I have 3 more slots left in my rack and would like to put a pair of comps and probably the Empirical Labs Der-Esser for voice over work.

Oh, hmmm, not sure if they are 500 series at the moment, you might have to email Joe and find out. The one I saw in his forum was 1u high (2 with link, etc.)
