What are differences between this two devices???  |  IP: Logged Oscar Neundorfer Master Film Handler Posts: 275 From: Senoia, GA Registered: May 2000 posted 04-08-2004 06:30 AM                        Marin, If you are talking about a MOD II and NOT a MOD IIC, then I would not suggest the MOD II as it does not have noise reduction for playing SR prints. Although it could be upgraded with the proper matrix and an outboard SR processor, it would not be worth the money to do so.  |  IP: Logged Peter Hall Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: London, UK Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-08-2004 07:05 AM                        Give us a call if looking for CP50s, CP55s or perhaps a Smart Mod 6 Front / Surround (Oscar - is this easy to turn into a L C R S unit ?). I have a number of CP50s, some cosmetically poor which are open to "negotiation" ! Also have Cat280Ts or Smart CC280s in stock - either plug straight into the CP50 or the CP55 via a SRA5 (the Mod6 has SR emulation built in)  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-08-2004 09:36 AM                     The mod 6 is a 6 shannel or fs processor depending on jumper settings  |  IP: Logged Peter Hall Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: London, UK Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-10-2004 05:40 AM                        Gordon - HI - I thought so too but this one has a different piggyback card and cost less than the full monty when bought. I must admit I've not tried throwing the dipswitch but guess I got a bargain if the cheaper f/s model has L and R as well  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-10-2004 06:11 AM                     I never had anything to do with anything but the mod 6 that one configured with a jumper on the main board There were several different DSP based matrix daughter board before the current analogue CircleSurround but I didn't know there was an eccono FS matrix board for it  |  IP: Logged Oscar Neundorfer Master Film Handler Posts: 275 From: Senoia, GA Registered: May 2000 posted 04-10-2004 10:40 AM                        Peter and Gordon, The MOD VI did have a front/surround only matrix available, but not that many were sold. It is NOT capable of any more channels.  |  IP: Logged
