got one of these from a freind for 80 quid (alice A series)
wow it sounds amazing ,
im running a formula sound fsm 600 into it and the balance of sound character works realy well.
anybody used them before or know anything about them?
iv tried to download the manual but the link doesnt seem to work.
it also has quite a bit of background hiss i cant seem to eliminate with any kind of gain architecture,
anyone up for servicing it for me??

For eighty quid it's a bargain... if it all works and depending on what modules it's got in it.
I've used them several times doing RSL radio stations and have never had any hiss whatsoever. |

out of interest whats your oppinion on the sound quality?? i personaly was very impressed , to me its very natural and dynamic and very clear,but when used on its own sounds a bit eager lol but with the fsm infront of it smooths/balances out??
theres a couple a crackly channels, infact not so much crackly but cuts in and out.
other than that, the hiss,its not just sibiliance around 10k ,theres an element of body to the hiss,its not a hum thoughlol,i.e it comes through the mids as well.
bit of a head do,it kinda spoils it
im guessing (massively guessing) it needs some output components replacing i.e smoothing caps or the rf rejection circuit?? knows lol

My neighbour's dad started Alice sound, really interesting career this guy has had. I'm still trying to get my hands on some of his old stock.

Think you might be right with the leaky caps bit. A damn good service
and it'll be back to A1! Don't know where you're based to recommend
anyone.
Sound quality wise it should be a very natural sounding desk, i.e. no tailoring of the sound whatsoever. All the |

Ive got an old Alice 828.
I really like it for recording and even use the Limiter. Sowter transformers on the Mic. I re-capped/ cleaned all the pots and put new copper bus bars. This made a big difference. Good luck with it. Boab |

I am on a wild goose chase for an Alice 828, or even an Alice ad62 if available.
Anyone looking to part with one? Edited by guntherbuffalo - 12 December 2017 at 11:21pm |
