    Shane Young vintage recording console In Great Condition.
    This is one of the coolest mixer I’ve owned. It’s also certainly the rarest! Daven potentiometers and bakealite knobs ooze vintage vibe. The blue powder coat paint job is listed in the manual as the original factory finish!
    These are super cool cause they have modular preamp cards that can be swapped and added to using the same snap in design as ram chips in a computer’s motherboard.
    Everything is here, not a resistor out of place. This unit was either babied or never saw much use cause it’s sparkling clean. Manual is original, not a copy.
    Look at the pictures, it’s incredibly clean, far cleaner than most of the corroded boards that come out of old smokey studios we’re used to seeing.
    SPECS:
    It has six microphone inputs and nine line inputs. It has a program input, headphone outputs and two speaker outputs. The impedance of the microphone outsputs are 50 to 150 ohms, line inputs are 150 ohms un-balanced. Monitor and cue at 8ohms, output at 600 ohms. The input levels of the microphones are -55 DBM, line level is -10 to the -15 DBM. It has less than 0.5% distortion in the program circuits and 1% or less in monitor and Cue circuits. It takes regular 115 V AC power (American standard).
    Measurements are 19 inches long, 15 inches deep and 8 inches high. It has a total of 15 inputs with Daven attenuators and a removable cover on hinges as shown.
    I haven’t powered it on in many years but it worked when last I had power screwed into the terminal strips just fine. Everything is there and nothing is missing so it will be a very small bit of work to get it where you’ll invariably want it. I just have no way of testing because the power, inputs and outputs are all on terminal (barrier) strips which I do not have wired up.
    Can be made into a summing mixer, microphone preamps or used as a beautiful passive mixer which is how it’s set up now (for summing).
    All the old consoles like this had terminal strips for their ins and outs so they could be hardwired in a permanent broadcast or recording studio environment.
    I have a box of metal XLR output jacks that I have planned on drilling out the back and installing at which time the price of this listing will go up, so If you would like to buy it as is now, you could save quite a bit of money and do the job yourself and have a pretty sweet side car! Or wait a few months and I’ll have it done for a few hundred more.
