Oh, its an Audio Developments AD 145 Pico made in somewhere around -85 or so.
The meters are Sifam, me thinks.

I had one for years. Very robust, but watch the headroom in your preamps. I rebuilt mine pretty completely (this was in the 80s) and made it better but I can't tell you what I did. The panel is long gone as are the schematics and notes.

Have fun with it.

Talking

The meters are BBC spec. PPMs - those alone are probably worth more than you paid for the complete mixer.

Good stuff, Audio Developments, and they will probably still be able to service it if needed.

Congratulations - a good buy.

I had their eng 4 to 2 mixer late 80 ies and have used pico also at the time.
Very easy to overload the preamps at high gain settings, but I´ll manage!

I´ve been using PPMulator software meters in BBC ppm mode to train my eyes to that instead of the Nordic metering usual around here,

Good for you, Matti!
I did a similar thing this summer - bought a mint Revox C279 for 790£ and use the preamps direct out for multitrack + main out for live to 2 tracks.
Small consoles are great fun to use!

All the best - Jon

Thanks

Hi MATTI
it would be very nice to tell me exactly how you will do this mod. I also own a nice, small desk, unfortunately, without direct outs.

JP, yours is so different I cannot help you. Have you the schematics for it?
Acousta should be able to help you rather than me...
