Hi Matt, It very much depends on the technical state and the options installed. What also may factor in is whether it is a celeb machine. I can imagine Madonna's machine selling for more than studio x's. I would not sell my Al Jourgensen 9.34 III just yet, it's just too different

Hi all, I would like some advice on what is a fair price for a fairlight IIX with midi and the series 3, and what optional extras I should be looking for if any. I am interested in having both systems for my studio. If anyone knows of any up for sale I may be interested Regards M

Hi all, For the IIX : Mains Voltage: 100-120 or 200-250 switch selectable Mains Current: 2 amps @ 240V, 4 amps @ 120V Mains Frequency: 50/60 Hz p = u . i p in WATT u in Volts i in Ampere in 240V => p = 240 x 2 => 480W in 120V => p = 120 x 4 => 480W C'est simple ;) JB Le 8 juin 07

Hello James, I checked in the CMI3 manual, and in the specification chapter it is written that the CMI 3 is given for 2A @ 240V which gives the 480W I measured on my machine. So, if you have the IIx manual, you may find a similar info... Best regards. Laurent. On 8 juin 07, at 09

Hi James, I'm not too sure, likely because of fewer memory, but the diskette drives do spin all the time so that uses electricity. I really should do a test on all the equipment to find out. Best regards, Harald. > > Hi Harald, > > > Thanks for your post. I presume that the CMI 2

Hi Harald, Thanks for your post. I presume that the CMI 2X uses much less power than a series 3 ? I will try and calculate an accurate usage for the whole studio. Many thanks, James Thomson On 7/6/07 16:41, "Harald Feldmann" wrote: > James, is it really that expensive ? > > In th
2007-06-07 by Harald Feldmann
James, is it really that expensive ? In the Netherlands, 15 euro-cents per hour for a fairlight is not overly bad I'd say.. My console uses 480 watts and I have no qualms running it. If you factor everything in, several fairlights, console, outboard and lights, it adds up electri

Bonjour Laurent, Merci beacoup pour votre reponse ! My CMI MFX-2 has the 32 meg ram card and uses an external 3 1/2" optical cartridge drive. Would the consumption be significantly less than 480 watts ? The CMI is very expensive to run at 480 watts !!! A bientot, James On 7/6/07
2007-06-07 by Laurent Lemaire
Hi James, I made the measure a few days ago on my CMI 3 (rev6.03) which has got two big ESDI HD and 14Mb of RAM (CMI-39) The global consumption is 480 Watts. Laurent.

Hi Guys, Would anyone be able to tell me the power consumption in watts of a CMI series 2X and CMI series 3 ? What is the wattage of these instruments? I am going to have a separate studio building built and I am considering solar panels for powering the studio. I also want to ca

I hope these don't come across as frivolous questions. They aren't meant that way. Has the Fairlight dog sample been used much (or at all, for that matter) in music? Would there be any issues if I were to use that sample in a piece of music? I don't own a Fairlight, and sampled t
