FS: Racked Neve Single Ch Pre
Posted: Wed Dec 01, 2010 8:29 amHi Guys n Girls,
Need a quick buck and the missus is putting me on the "get rid of gear that you are not needing immediately" sale,
so i have decided to reluctantly put this pre on the market. Along with some other stuff <mutters under breath about wife and christmas time>
From what i can remember from the specs sent to me by Dave at Atlantis, this pre is from an ABC broadcast console commissioned in the early 80's, it has a three way stepped output gain control, as does the input gain stage, comes with its own power pack and has a nice engraved Atlantis Sound logo on the front. I've tried to get the specs from Dave recently but he must not be reading his messages. (I have been guilty of that, Sorry Tim.S)
<Edit> I found a similar ad from Dave, the specs are - ba438 input amps, ba 512 output amps ,6 position gain controll,48 v phantom power, xlr inputs/outputs,fully transformer balanced.
I had my fun with this, especially trying out different mic types, i found that i got a super thick acoustic sound in combo with a ribbon from about 1.5m away, yeah yeah, ribbon and neve, overkill etc.
For TR members its $700, otherwise its on evil bay and i'll see how much excitement i can generate for the wife. I'm not expecting much more than what i'm asking, who knows.
Let the sniping begin.
Or do me a favour and please don't even look at this post, that way i can say "ohhh looks like no-one wants it babe, better luck next year ay." and not have to endure a week of "sell your other motorbike! Or that collection of Sierra games wrapped in bubble wrap. Or the Mig welder that you got for 150 bucks!"
