API/RCA – Console Renovation Pics 2
We sound tested the pre-amp modules this last weekend. Aaron made a rig to slip the cards into and wire them up via alligator clips. They sound very interesting , a tone that we do not yet have in our tools. The sound has a nice thick and defined mid-range . The overall signal seems to be pretty even right off the unit. There is an old quality to the amps , makes me want to push some rocking drums through them cranked and get some sweet harmonic distortion in the recording.
A few features will include :
- inserts between every gain stage
- a custom patch bay configuration
- a magic Bleed option (between channels)
- stereo and mono bussing
- stereo and mono effects send and return
- 10 channels of mic/line amplification
- and original lighting in the faders
Check out these pics of the mixing board in progress :
