VINTAGE CONSOLE

24 Channel Tamura Transformer console (1970s/ 1980s). This is a modular analog console with 4 band parametric eq, Hi and Lo pass filters and 24 Busses (rare Tascam “Model 16" - serial number #003 -- only a small number were ever produced). This is a high headroom and very musical console with lots of routing capability. This actual console was used during mix down on the Rolling Stones album "Steel Wheels".
