Beefing up a beat with a "Recording Studio Design" EATON BRAY console /// Direct Audio 

Thanks for the kind words. The earliest Studiomaster consoles with VUs and this peculiar parametric bass EQ (30 .. 300Hz) will get you exactly that sound - they're electronically identical. Other affordable crunchy console I've come across: - Ibanez RM80 - Sennheiser M101 - Old Yamaha PM series - Sony MX16 / MX20

@@3str thank you ! I"ll dig deeper into these models. I will also try to experiment more with my Dynacord DRS 78 input EQ. I saw you got good results with it.

Yes they evetually became StudioMaster.

Hey Andrew, sorry I have no schematics either. But the electronic design is very straightforward, there are no fancy parts, and definitely nothing unobtainium.

I haven't worked with the later Studiomaster boards but have heard that they're all very good at "playing dirty". At least looking at the schematics they seem quite similar.

Apparently, from what I gathered so far, the Studio masters 16:4:2 that are good are extremely rare to find : the company was created in 1976, and by 1980, their 16:4:2 turned from a beautifully crafted mixer with wooden sides and quality faders and pots into a piece of junk with small plastic ones and black sides. Some fella over at Gearstlutz forum said that only the ones with wooden sides and big knobs were good, with "ace EQs", and that all later versions, after the company was mysteriously acquired, were junk - including the one with a brochure where Phil Collins accepted to pose for a significant enough fee... anyway, problem is... well they are nowhere to be found. You will find two Studio masters with wooden sides on Reverb, but the knobs are small and cheap. It appears I'm quite lucky, as the only one I found with both wooden sides and big knobs happen to be a 3h drive away from my home in Canada and also in near-mint condition :D I will report on this find. 300$ while the ones with the cheap pots, two 16:8, are for sale at 900 each... not to shabby

@@jas_bataille what was your experience with the Studio masters ? Are they sounding anywhere close to this demo ?

Post picture or something, not a lot of them special ones arpund, it would be nice to see or hear one

Hello, yes, same character. The EQ are like filters, semi-para. @@albertaszvinys5773

Hey Stephan, this console has an internal PSU so you shouldn't need an external power block, just a regular IEC power cable. Our is your internal PSU toast?

@@3str this one seems to be a little different. I'll update with a picture soon.

@@stephanvanwolferen953 Color me intrigued - please do follow up.

@@3str i took some pictures now. Do you have a mail adress i could send you the pictures to? This mixer also has +4 channels and different knobs. Also, i think the switches have been modified.
