We are offering a tested and fully functional STUDER reportage mixing console. Originally developed as a work tool for reporters and technicians in the field, these mixing consoles were used in various outside broadcasts in the 1980s. With the rare included commentator box, even a technically inexperienced reporter could collaborate with a sound engineer while only handling the small box. Whether dialing a number on the rotary dial still reaches anyone today is something the buyer can find out for themselves. A SIM card is not included. :-)
For those who want to use this beautiful mixing console in a recording studio without broadcasting from there, the biggest advantage is the excellent sound quality of the six microphone preamps, designed in the style of the STUDER 169 and STUDER 269 vintage mixing consoles. A high-pass filter, a basic equalizer function, and a limiter are also included. The full technical specifications can be found below.
