difference between old and new MC series
I'm trading in my Procontrol/Edit/Pack/Fader pack for 2 x MC Mix and MC transport. My dealer gave me the option of getting the of Euphonix buit (silver) or the recent Avid built (black) are there any difference in built quality ??? Can both use the latest eucon software ??? Thx

Re: difference between old and new MC series
I thought there upgraded faders used in the black avid branded ones too?

Re: difference between old and new MC series
I believe it's only the mc control that had component changes. And that was between v1 and v2. V2 got a better jog wheel and screen. I believe the avid ones added a better case. But aside from the case are identical to the last mc versions.

Re: difference between old and new MC series
Interesting, not sure where I heard that, but when I bought mine, I swear someone told me to get the Black ones because they were using higher quality faders. We have both around work, and they don't 'seem' much different, although I will say on the Euphonix ones, when the faders 'slam' down to zero, they do seem to do so louder and stronger, enough that often the fader caps fly off!
Never had this on the black ones I have. But it could just be better fitting fader caps too! |

Re: difference between old and new MC series
Hey guys,
It was the "Encoders" that were upgraded on the Avid Artist Mix's and on the Euphonix ver.2 MC Mix's. You can tell the difference. The new ones are much smoother when using them than the original Euphonix pieces.

The "flying fadercap problem" as I remember it, was due to an employee who had put them on upside down - so just take them off and turn them around. (I remember using a pice of additional cottonwool to make them tighter and since then it's never happened again) I have however seen a new Avid version of Transport with a jogwheel that has been replaced - and that one I would definetly go for...

Re: difference between old and new MC series
vudoo,
The Encoders above each channel strip have a much smoother feel on ver.2 vs ver.1. It also allows for more precise settings without such a "jerky" movement. You would have to try both to notice.

Re: difference between old and new MC series
So just to recap there is no way to tell the difference b/t the v1 and v2 euphonix?
Avid? It would be nice and should be feasible to separate the two via serial number
