Vintage console

Our vintage Tamura console was famously used during mix down on the Rolling Stones album Steel Wheels. Due to our large number of premium outboard preamps and signal processors, I custom configured this console primarily to monitor the signal from the equipment list above whereby the onboard console preamps are bypassed. Only a handful of these fully modular transformer balanced analog consoles were manufactured in Southern California in the late 1970s and early 80s (Teac/Tascam).
