Quad 8 .... whats the skinny?

Try This... Electrodyne Mixer used by Beach Boys

Yeah, I've seen that. That's not the Beach Boys' console that was in their home studio. Neat though!

Thanks for pointing me to that article as well. I'm still interested if it's true that that Beach Boys system was responsible for bringing Quad-8 from a 2 man operation to 65 people, and putting it on the map as an entity.

Hi Josh,

You can call David Geren over at Cinemag (he was one of the last employees left at Q8 when Mitsubishi bought them out) to find out the answer. Or next time I talk to him I'll ask.

I doubt it was just the beach boys as Bud was taking orders for years and having Edyne build them, he would just re-brand them basically in the early days. Warner Bros, Bearsville, Wally Heiders, Hollywood Bowl, etc... and a bunch of others had Q8 consoles at the time as well.
