Re: Replacement For Avid Pre's . . ?
Thanks all for your input, questions and the 101 help for certain contributors.
I’m not focusing purely on Avid product. As I said in op, there is no 3rd party midi remote control multi mic pre unit that includes insert points. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I shall approach Avid and ask if they will sell me a bunch of the gain relays so we can repair our Avid Pre’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Replacement For Avid Pre's . . ?
I have no idea what this looks like, e.g. if the whole gain stages are off the shelf units or not. Do you have the marking and part numbers on them or individual failed relays... or photos, including relay or module PCB pin layout? And how are they failing? individual relay coils going open circuit? Contacts sticking? Relay drive electronics failing? These should not be hard for a technician or hobbyist to work out what is going on/see how hard a fix would be.

Re: Replacement For Avid Pre's . . ?
Wow you're not kidding, I can't think of any that have inserts.
Secondhand PRE's are pretty cheap nowadays, best bet might be to buy a bunch for parts? Not a great suggestion I realize.

Re: Replacement For Avid Pre's . . ?
Do you mean the Avid Omni? I can understand the gripe in that situation, as the analogue insert points are the only way to add outboard processing between the built-in microphone preamps and A/D conversion. None of the new stuff has it...
In the case of the Avid PRE, it is a totally unfounded gripe I think. That device is 100% analogue. You don't actually need the insert points at all to add outboard processing between preamp and A/D conversion. Using the analogue DB25 outputs will achieve exactly the same thing... Seems like there are a bunch of preamps with digi-pre control that will do the same thing? Grace M108? Millennia HV-316 with analog out option? etc?

No I’m not talking about the Omni. Read the op ffs. Yes I can patch in serial through dynamics en route to the HD IO ins, but hey, bloody palaver when recording bands etc. Thank you for your thoughts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
