RE: [Fairlight-CMI] Series III Filters

Wasn't it when the Pro 5 used Curtis the Fairlight used SSM and vice versa?

I'd still love to know more about the III's filters and why the change!

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Guys,

 For the record the CMI 2X used Curtis and SSM filters.

Rev 1 channels cards : Curtis
Rev 2                  Curtis
Rev 3                  SSM
Rev 4A                 SSM

I have still yet to decide which actually sounds better. At the moment I
feel that the Rev 3 / 4 channel cards sound slightly warmer and the filter
seems to open up nicer but its hard to say !

Regards,

James Thomson
