| Well the EMI TG 12345 can do quadro pan... Very nice desk. Love the Presence Controls on it... even when you push the EQ is always sounds musical...Played quick a bit last week with it in studio Vega Carpentras France. The owner Manfred is a really nice guy.

Thread Starter | The room was constructed around the desk! It meant: Breaking down half the building Hoisting down a 500kg desk through a hole and the 2.5 meters down Renting a big truck, it was 375x125x90cm Storing it for unknown time Restoring it for unknown $ (it needed TLC) Finding sombeody interested in this unit, market is for small project studios Having to deal with dealers of big desks who seem to have adopted 2nd hand car sales tactics..your desk is worth nothing when selling until it pops up for big $ in their showroom. So i choose to take modules out, salvaging transformers etc Offer them via the internet to be shipped via mail to you.. :-) Check Gearsluts classifieds for the parts........... I salvaged around 200 Sowter transformers from this unit alone!! And 64 HQ P&G faders 4 P&G Joysticks Studer time counter 2 RTW VU meters 32 vintage mci/line inputs 6 patch bays 24 Audio engineering BBC VU meters Loads of other modules So i took all options in concideration and i came to this conclusion.. Sad but true...Maybe this way it finds its way to many lovers all over... |
