The Virtuoso was one of the Post-Mitsubishi consoles, and was built when the factory was located in Santa Clarita, Ca in the late 80,s.
It is IC based and has little relation to the classic QE discrete and hybrid designs of the 60,s, 70,s and early 80,s, although it was well designed and in fact luminaries such as John Hall were contributors during its design and construction.
The Virtuoso was aimed at the music recording/mixing market and shared much of its design with the Music, Film and TV post consoles built at QE during the same time period. (Westar, Filmstar, Screenstar)
