Location: Rochester, New York USA | Hi Folks,
Having just purchased a used, late-2008, Adamas 2080 NWT with VIP-5 preamp, I'd like to know what microphones were used to generate the VIP-5's Images. The particular booklet for this guitar's VIP-5 preamp, and mic-image listing, didn't come with the guitar. Thus, does anyone have the information I seek? Thanks!
Regards,
SpruceTop
P.S. I tried posting this in the "General" topic discussion board, but even though I've been a member of the board for a couple of months, I'm not allowed to post there. Is there a reason for my lack of access to other Ovation FanClub discussions? Thanks. |

Location: Jet City | Sprucetop, your status has been updated.
Now let me see if I can find the VIP manual for mine. I only remember that it's various mics on different adamas guitars I believe. If I remember right, the 2080 was only one of the models |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I have a VIP that I bought by itself with an XLR 'card'...
I just put it in assorted guitars when I feel so inclined.
So my images are just 1 thru 5.
I mostly use 4 and 5, sometimes 1... :p |

Location: Sydney, Australia | I didn't realise they programmed the VIP differently for each model. Theoretically, this means that if I swapped the VIPs in my 08C and 1680 I should hear a difference? |

Location: Utah | I've had two guitars with VIP, the 2007BCS and the 2080. The preamps both had little stickers on them, and a matching sticker on the can in the guitar. The 2080 says "SET 4". The 2007BCS has moved on to another owner and I do not recall what it said, just that it was another number other than 4. |

Location: Rochester, New York USA | Thanks Folks for your input! What I'm actually looking for are the brand and model of mics used to generate the Adamas 2080 VIP-5 Images. For example, Martin's website lists the following mics used to generate the Aura Images for my Martin DCPA1 Performing Artist Series Dreadnought's onboard F1 Aura preamp:
From the VIP-5 preamp's characteristics, it sounds like this preamp is using Adamas 2080 Aura Images generated by Fishman. It would be nice to know what actual brand and model mics were used for the Adamas 2080. Maybe this information is out there somewhere but, regardless, the good part is that my Adamas 2080 sounds wonderful through my Bose L1 Model II with ToneMatch! If anyone comes across the actual mic and model listing for the Adamas 2080 VIP-5, please post. Thanks!
Regards,
SpruceTop |
