Comments on: The Norelco/Phillips EL 6911 Studio Echo Machine c.1961 https://www.preservationsound.com/the-norelcophillips-el-6911-studio-echo-machine-c-1961/ information and ideas about audio history Tue, 16 Jun 2015 21:50:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Charlie Brewer https://www.preservationsound.com/the-norelcophillips-el-6911-studio-echo-machine-c-1961/#comment-317951 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 21:50:05 +0000 http://www.preservationsound.com/?p=4006#comment-317951 Does anyone have the terminal block wiring info for the inputs
and outputs on a Phillips EL6911 ? I’m restoring one here in my
shop, and any schematic info would help reduce the amount of
reverse engineering I’ll have to do.

Thanks,

The division was named Philips Electro Akoestiek.
There was still a successor in the 1978 catalogue for the echo machine, model LBC7100/00, is called a delay machine and intended for railway stations a.s.o., to improve speech intelligibility.
The mechanics look the same. The amp is probably transistorized in that era.

There is a panorama view of this recorder in a studio set-up. I’ve been there a couple of times with Jacob, the owner of two recorders, to obtain schematics and other information. I’ve worked for Philips so it was easier to get access 😉 Piet
