We’re in lockdown but still working… If you need cables made up or help with setting up a home studio, email workshop@bn1studio.co.uk and I’ll help if I can
I’ve taken the opportunity to get up-to-date with a bunch of gear that’s been in my prep queue for some time. Recently-finished compressors include:
- UREI LA4 stereo pair, set #20 – a really tidy pair of LA4s in the original rackmount, refurbished, recapped, new cables, etc, etc
- UREI LA4 – two mono units, can be sold as a pair with rack kit, priced individually
- UREI 7110 stereo pair, set #21– new arrivals from the USA, recapped & switched to 220 Volt. These are under-appreciated compressors!
- UREI 7110 single, recapped
- dbx 163X stereo pair, set #22 – nice pair of 163Xs, sequential serial numbers, recapped & modified. I love the way these sound when recapped
- dbx 160X stereo pair, set #18 – I have three sets packed & ready
- dbx 160XT stereo pair, set #14 – I have a pair ready to ship with stereo link cable
- Inovonics 201 – recapped, refurbished, switched to 220 Volt. Legendary USA-made compressor / limiter with an awesome sound
I haven’t forgotten the EQs:
- MOOG MKPE parametric equaliser #4 – recapped, refurbished. These are getting rarer now. Recapped
- MOOG MKG 10-band graphic equaliser #2 – in the shadow of the MKPE but it’s a fun EQ with lots of character. Recapped
- UREI 546 stereo parametric equaliser – heavyweight EQ from UREI. Super-precise, nicely-engineered equaliser that sounds great after a recap
- TC Electronic 1220 stereo preamp / equaliser #2 – vintage preamp / EQ from TC, recapped & refurbished. Lots of gain, lots of EQ, very tidy
- White 4220 passive cut-only equaliser – these will be cult items one day. Super-simple signal path with nine LCR (inductor, capacitor, resistor) bands. Vintage, rare, smooth
