A-RACK 8+1 Modular Recording System

**Tim Farrant** · 9th November 2002, 02:59 AM

It was originally called the MA8, but some changes in the design means we can now fit 9 modules (hence the 8+1). The rack shown here carries 9 MA-1.5 Class A Mic Preamps. I intend to make Class A Compressor modules available for this rack as well.

Cheers

Looks cool - congrats !

How much will it be?

Yes! Glad to see that others agree that modular is the only way to go! I'm pretty much a committed API guy, but that's mostly due to the lack of competition. (Neve would be great, but at 3 or 4 times the cost of comparable API gear, I just don't hear 3x the performance...)

Good luck and I hope that you have enough success that us guys stuck here in the oooo-essss-eh will get a chance to hear and check out this cool looking rack!

The final pricing is still to be confirmed, we do have a close idea however. We don't want to do a SLAM! do we !! If anybody is interested in getting an quote on the cost, please send us an email and we can stay in touch with you.

I can tell you however that it will cost CONSIDERABLY less than the Neve 88R.

Thanks for your interest and thanks for this forum. I don't post here much but find many threads very interesting.

Cheers
Tim.
