Hi there,

About the Mod One console, could this board be used for a recording studio environment? I know these boards had the similar input transformers as the Uri La-3a and the BL-40 modulimiter. So I’m thinking these boards sound fantastic.

Thanks,
Jeff

I owned one for many years till I purchased a PR&E ABX-34. It came in two models, the “Mod One” and the “Quad Mod One”, that had four busses. The theory was you could do “Quadraphonic” production with it. You couldn’t. (grin) We used it as Program & Audition, in stereo. It has great sound and wonderful headroom. No IC’s. All discreet devices and +-24vdc rails.

I had one many years ago. Nice looking board, but I had nothing but problems.

What little I see looks like an Airwave Wave one board. Had them at WKIP-AM.
