We received a couple of early MA5s in for service. These were from 2008, and after 18 years what was wrong? Nothing. Everything worked perfectly to specifications. But the rack it was installed in was about 1/8” too deep causing intermittent on/off, so we made an adjustment to the circuit board depth to fix it. Also, we upgraded some Phillips head screws to low profile hex head to the chassis.
Thanks to #bathtubshrinerecording in Minneapolis for sending these in. Check out their studio and the talented musicians they’ve recorded.
Some Neve 1073s don’t have “1073” screened on their faceplates. This one needed a new 18 way amphenol connector, some bend parts straightened, incorrect levels/impedances fixed, and mis-wired Hi-Lo switch. #neve1073 #vintageneve #nevemodule
MD7 using the Line input and its Send & Return/DI function with a simple VCA compressor in the signal chain. This was a quick test I did while testing the R52 rack we use to make years ago. #avedisaudio #500seriesmodules #md7 #rushcygnusx1
These Neve 1090’s use to be mine. Line input only; no mic-pre. I sold them to someone I’ve known a long time and he wanted me to mod them to have a mic-pre from 20-60dB of gain. We added our own input transformer and set up the gain structure and wiring as if Neve did it back in 1974. #vintageneve #nevemodule #microphonepreamplifier #neve1090 #avedistransformers
Our own vintage NEVE BCM10 is available for long term rental only in the Los Angeles area. Complete with power supply and snake. Comes with original Neve 1073 modules with added HF (so you’re not just stuck with 12kHz), 1272s, and 2080 passive telephone filter, and its original stand with casters. Fully functional and calibrated. It has two groups of 10x Mic inputs so you can compare two mic sources on each channel, 10x Line inputs, 10x direct channel outs, stereo groups 1&2, and Rev & Fokdback outputs for two additional outs. Also 2x direct inputs if you just want to use the 1272s as bus amps. I put a lot of work into this console and love to see it being put to good use. You must be established with references, and have proof of insurance. #neveconsole #nevebcm10 #nevebcm10console
