Omni HD or SSL Alpha Link
HI
Is there Anyone who already compared the Avid Omni converters with the new SSL Alpha link MX (or Alpha Link MADI) as far as the converters go ? I'm upgrading my gears soon and I'm wondering which unit would be the best as far as sound quality and so on. I wanted to buy an Omni HD interface with Native HD card & Protools 10. Then I saw the new SSL Alpha Link MX and I'm wondering if it's better or not ? Thanks |

I worked at a facility with the SSL madi box yesterday, not very funky at all. Unreliable.

Re: Omni HD or SSL Alpha Link
I am working with the MadiXtreme and Alpha-Link MADI AX combination for about a year now, its rock solid for me with Pro Tools HD 10.x.
I am not getting any of the dreaded 9092 - 9094 errors I am seeing with my HD Native card. Oliver |

Re: Omni HD or SSL Alpha Link
There isn't to much of a difference between the two. I run an Alpha Link with a Delta link and am very happy with that. I chose SSL because of their support. You can send an email and they'll get right back to you. With AVID you have to purchase a code for support and it can take several days.

Re: Omni HD or SSL Alpha Link
We've been running 2-SSL DeltaLinks for almost 4-years with 128-IO from an SSL C200 console. There is a bit of weirdness that happens when PT first boots and won't recognize the interfaces, but once you recycle power as suggested by PT, all is happy and stable.
However, you are talking about AlphaLink, right? Same concept but with SSL A/D conversion? I do have to agree with percent42 that SSL's support if EXCELLENT, but we also pay a yearly fee for what we have. Good luck!
