Calrecs are VERY good...
A a Neve slut i can afirm they are the 2nd best thing to a neve. THe reason that many dont know about hem is cos they were primarily marketed to broadcast.
I know the desk that you are talking about.. i emailed Pierre about it too and he sent me the same pics and info too. you should contact Pierre or who ever the dealer is that you are dealing with and get a scomplete model number and serial number so you can get in contact with Calrec themselves and get an exact idea of what it is! They are pretty good with thtis sort of shit, as i bought some Calrec modules from a UK broker and they were 'as is' and had no documentation etc, i got in contact with them via email and they sent it all the way to Australia for NOTHING!!!!! u got alove that.... big ups and respect to CALREC!
If you are looking for neve type pres/EQ you need to find the ones that look like neves with the dual concentric knobs. I think they are the PQ 1000-1250 series.... but im not 100% sure..
Either way the Calrec ocmpressors and PRE-Eqs are VERY GOOD and on a par with Neve but just cheaper....they are sleepers!
