If you haven't done so already, join the soundtracstopaz : Soundtracs Topaz group and look in the Files section for scans of the manual which describe the mod (it used to be there anyway). If you got this used, the board may already have the -10/+4 mod already done to it. It's a nice little sounding little board for what it is. We were both happy about it, I had just swicthed to a D&R 4000 so I sold my Topaz to him, and he was looking for a bigger and more impressive mixer for clients hence why he put it in the trade for the Triton, but the sound of the board was not a problem for both of us. PS: Luca, when my friend bought the Triton he was coming from a Topaz that I sold him a few months before. It's still a small project studio board so no modularity and all the other good stuff that big and heavy studio mixers give you, but it's a very nice board and you can do plenty with it. Compared to a Mackie or Behringer or small Soundcraft, the Topaz is a much better mixer as far as sound goes. The meters are close to useless but gets you in the ballpark.

That is probably the most important thing if you want to interface the board to any professional outboard.

Please keep me in the loop on the mods - I'm EXTREMELY interested!ĭYYes, forgot to point the -10 + 4 mod out. There are some things I don't like about the board, such as busses are preassigned, etc but for the $650 I paid NOS including meterbridge, I can't complain. The pre's and Eqs are fairly impressive so I never felt the need to upgrade. I've never did any of the mods you suggested. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to look that information up a second time so I never did the mod. I read somewhere (can't remember if it was on an audio board of if Steve Malginick emailed me but at any rate), there was a simple resistor swap mod in the meterbridge to get the LEDs to react as they should. If you have the meterbridge, you'll note the LEDs don't read exactly as they should around red line. I actually used a couple of lockwashers along with the lug/wire and screw/nut because I thought the stock connection was inadequate. It takes longer to pull the thing apart than to do the soldering mods.īefore putting the console back together, double check the ground connection and tighten it up it'll act like a faulty power supply if that greenwire is loose. You have to use a blob of solder on the ins/outs to do the +4 mod. I have one, and you are probably aware that it comes factory set at -10db. I want to give thanks to everyone that can help me in this project!!!!!! I don't know if this is a stupid\doable idea, but I'm really interested in this kind of circuit. One great prject about this console is to remove all EL capacitor using DC servo circuits. I know that probably I can buy a better console with the same money that I'll spend for the mod, so I want to clarify that I want to do this work for the fun to do it, and because I like to mod and improve my equipment. Adding selection freq on Hi and low eq bandĪll this mods are quite expensive in terms of money and time: what in your opinion are the most important?
replace IC's in master section with better ones (AD797 or, why not, burson audio)

Replace SSM2017 with Jim williams upgrade module preamp replacement with BB opamps in channel strip I have some ideas, but I don't know if all are workable. Recently I buy a Soundtracs topaz 24 for my recording studio.īefore install, I want to refurb\upgrade it to obtain the maximum sonic quality.
