| Quad Eight Coranado – featuring the discrete AM-10 amplifier module
|
|
| RCA Mixer – on the left as it arrived in the workshop. These are a not uncommon four into one mixer typically used by Broadcasters for “field” broadcasts. Dead simple three transistor amplifiers and bucket loads of gain.
Below is what I did to it – Now a four channel preamp with individual outputs, variable 30dB input pad, phantom and phase rev. Here’s what the owner had to say about the completed unit – “Had a good run with the unit now.. It is VERY worthwhile getting this work done to it… On vocals, Very good.. Im loving them here heaps… Used these pres with both dynamic ,condenser, and tube mics on vocals. All are a win… This chap had a funny ‘shh’ sound whenever an ‘s’ sound appears.. It was alot less obvious with this pre compared to Vintechs and API…” – Dave Parkin |
