Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Hi,

maybe, Emu wants to clear up the dynamic powers of the XX-7 on 
www.sonicstate.com. People are assuming the dynamics are the same as 
the ones of the proteus 2000. It is misleading potential customers...

PS. Heres the thread:

I've owned this unit but sold it because I did not like how it 
sounds. Very fake, digital presets. It's apparance says it all. 
Bright orange to interest the consumer, but its quality is not worth 
the investment.

Sorry Heinrich, but i just bought an XL7. The sound is ok but not 
very dynamic neither powerfull. And the specs in the owner manual say 
the DACs are 20 bits, with a dynamic>90Db wich is different of the 
specs on the commercial datasheet, in wich they are the same as the 
proteus 2500: 24 bits and dynamic>100Db. Where is the truth ?

I do not want to add to your frustration, but the XX-7 command 
stations allready have the same fast processor, even the 24 bit 
outputs like the proteus 2500. This was confirmed on the yahoo news 
group by emu techs. So the Emu marketing was adding a little 
confusion when they were comparing those boxes to the p2000. Maybe 
they wanted to. They need to sell the p2500, no? Anyway: I´m hoping 
for the new OS that comes out late feb., early march: It is supposed 
to straighten out the bugs and offer some interesting new features. 
I´m waiting for that desperately. After taht I will post a review 
here (got the mp-7) Then it should be a real lethal weapon. Maybe you 
will buy it back ;-)
