I use an 8200 eq in my stereo CD mastering rig. the studio has 2 more 8200's that I can use. I am not intrested in surround, I believe that is a dead end, waste of time. I am thinking about modding one of the other 8200's for full-time M-S operation. this is a little bold so I wanted some opinions first.
The reasoning for putting a mod in the EQ instead of making a stand-alone encode-decode box: I can tap into the EQ's power. I can insert the (unbalanced) matrix between the EQ circuitry and the existing balanced i/o circuits. I would use an OR gate off the left/right bypass switches so that if both are out, the whole box is bypassed, if either is in then the matrix is active as well as that channel's EQ.
I have several MS matrix designs but havent decided on one yet. Id love to use GML opamps, but that would be a little pricey. I could do it with only 4 opamps total so maybe it is worth it? any thoughts?
