Post by: edwin on June 20, 2012, 10:43:08 PM: I might be down for one of these. I'd like the idea of them containing an effects loop so that they could incorporate FX in the DIs.

Post by: sonicus on June 21, 2012, 04:57:29 PM: I have an old serial #24 that I rebuilt the power supply section on. It pairs up nicely with my old F-2B with a Series I/II Stereo rig( my favorite configuration) I look forward to the acquisition of the new unit in the future.

Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: room037 on June 22, 2012, 09:50:47 PM: I am very interested IN-2.

I ask some points.

1: How would work as Direct Box ? Pararel for phones and 3 pins ? Active or Passive ?

2: If it is available, DS-5 with additional 3 pin out as DI is easy for gigs.

Post by: pierreyves on June 27, 2012, 02:36:45 PM: and ? price ? schedule ?
Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: mica on June 27, 2012, 02:43:56 PM: The price hasn't been established. We are just finishing up the DS-5 and then the DS-5R. The IN-2 will be after that, but I'm not ready to set a date just yet.

But it will have inputs for 2 Series I/II instruments, and will have switchable voltage.

I have no news to share though. I hope it doesn't cost more than what I have stashed away for it.
I have been waiting for years.

Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: cozmik_cowboy on September 24, 2012, 07:18:03 PM: 4 outs per p/up?? So you just need 1 of these, 8 F1-Xs, 8 SF-2s, 8 amps, 8 high cabs & 8 low cabs........

Post by: mica on October 08, 2012, 04:56:34 PM: I'm still working out the pricing, there's one part that's proving hard to source, but dad is still on it. Hopefully by the end of the month I'll have pricing and a schedule down, then to make it look pretty like the new DS-5!

Ok 2013 ?
Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: mica on January 30, 2013, 05:45:32 PM: Still working on it, DS-5R and the IN-2. The DS-5R is actually being much harder than we thought, and some of the components for the IN-2 are quite obscure, so we are looking into other components.

I promise that I will announce here on the club as actual information is available to report.
Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: edwin on February 03, 2013, 11:08:25 PM: I thought the DS-5R is the standard Alembic power supply. Am I missing something?
Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: mica on February 08, 2013, 08:21:10 PM: Well, it was the standard power supply. We're planning on having both the DS-5 and DS-5R in stock and then you can have either one on a new order.

Post by: charles_holmes on December 31, 2013, 09:16:44 AM: Can a regular 1/4 jack be used to run a bass?
Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: sonicus on January 01, 2014, 10:22:38 AM: Charles ,
Having had rebuilt the power supply circuit in my old IN-2 as close to original as possible I can report that the original IN-2 is not designed to do that.

However, with a different type of power source some active instrument circuits can be powered with a 1/4 TRS cable with the additional conductor.
Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: edwin on January 01, 2014, 01:15:51 PM: I'm thinking about modding my DS5R to something like this. I don't need all the features, just the DIs and switchable effects loops for each channel. The biggest issue for me is the metal work (punching holes for the XLRs) as the rest of it is just soldering basic connections. I have some Reichenbach transformers just sitting around waiting to go.
Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: charles_holmes on January 01, 2014, 05:05:03 PM: Thanks Wolf,
I asked that question because on Mondays I am the House bassist and was looking for something that other bass players could plug into to use my rig. I have a series bass. I wonder if Alembic makes a unit that can do both.
Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: edwin on January 01, 2014, 05:32:06 PM: It should be pretty trivial to build a switch box that would go before your preamp input that would select either the output of your power supply or a quarter inch input. Or even purchase a Radial or any number of other switch boxes.
Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: sonicus on January 01, 2014, 07:06:33 PM: Charles,
If you have an Alembic DS5R in your rack to power your Series I , the front and back audio outputs are in a parallel circuit if I remember correctly. If you wish to let someone play their bass trough your rig providing for example you have the signal output connected from the back routed on the way to the amplification , a mono instrument can be plugged into the front TS 1/4 jacks on the front of the DS5R. If you switch to mono both sides will get the same signal down 3 dB I believe per parallel mult . You just might want to unplug the 5 pin from your Series I from the front of the DS5R first. I have done this before and it worked.
Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: charles_holmes on January 02, 2014, 04:56:25 PM: Thank you,
I will try it out.
Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: jazzyvee on January 03, 2014, 01:36:24 AM: I have also tried plugging a non series bass into the mono jacks on the DS5R and it works fine.

Post by: FC Bass on April 03, 2014, 03:06:27 PM: Here's one for sale: Ebay link (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alembic-IN-2-Input-Module-/111318093025?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19eb134ce1 target=_blank)

Crazy price, but you can make an offer...

For the new units:

Would be uberawesome if they can make it so, that the functions of the rotary switch can also be switched with a momentary footswitch (through Jack outputs)
Than you can make everything midi switchable with a device like the Voodoolab GCX/Rocktron patchmate, etc.
Title: IN-2 Coming Soon Do you want one?
Post by: slawie on April 03, 2014, 07:43:14 PM: Thanks for that Flip.
I got all excited only to be disappointed once I opened the link.
What a pity that its 110V otherwise I would be all over it (with an offer that is, probably at 30% of their asking price - tops)
Mica, please do not use the above asking price as a benchmark for future IN-2's
The on/off switch needs to be in the front of the device also. I have moved my F2-B and DS5-R switches to the front of both boxes.
