D ual-channel microphone preamplifier and 30-channel summing mixer utilizing copper buss bars and esoteric resistors



The Equinox is a complete recording console. First, the control room section features a twenty-four-position discrete monitor volume control and a three-position speaker selector. The four position input selector chooses from: DAW 1 2, Channels 3 - 32 summed, 2-track or external input, and Mic Pre.

The summing buss is a 30-channel mixer utilizing copper buss bars and esoteric resistors, for simply the finest sounding passive monitor section ever made. Combined through our switchable custom output transformers, Nickel, Iron, and Steel. Effectively giving you the sound of three different consoles. The Mic Pres are the same as our stellar Gama.

There is a built in talkback microphone, a dim and a mono stereo switch, and VU-meters. The Equinox may just be the most solid two rack spaces ever built. With it you can record, mix, and monitor to the tolerance of a bygone era.

The front panel is engraved. The knobs are bake-lite, and the two-rack space external power supply will work in any country on any voltage.

The microphone preamp features three selectable output transformers, to create a broad pallet of sonic characteristics. 24 position Stepped input switches included. 60DB gain, phase, 48v, 1/4" DI.

Custom Steel Transformer (hand wound to match a favorite 1970's American output transformer.) Tight and punchy, the sound of rock and roll.

The mixer output also uses the selectable output transformers, thus allowing three different sounding mix buss options.
