Tweed Audio 24 Channel Recording Console (Vintage)
Originally commissioned for Grampian TV in the 1970s and previously owned by engineer Mike “Prince Fatty” Pelanconi, this beautiful Tweed Audio custom broadcast console features 24 channels of Class A/B Mic/Line amps (14x mic/line 10x line) with Marinair transformers, wonderful 3-band EQ with mid sweep and hi/lo filters, switchable phase, 2 x echo returns, 6 AUX sends per channel and 2x 96 point bantam patchbays. A relatively compact footprint should certainly appeal to any modern-day project studio or production facility looking for a characterful front-end board with heaps of mojo.
The desk was housed in Mike Pelanconi’s Iron Works studios in Brighton where it recorded the likes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Skints, Manu Chao, Nick Cave and Hollie Cook’s first two albums and more. Mike also recorded the majority of his sample packs (Drum Drops), in which the sound of the Tweed played an integral role in the pack’s sonic signature.
Sound is up front and full of character with fantastic low-end, plenty of headroom and very musical EQ. This example will be supplied serviced and ready for action prior to sale. Worldwide shipping will be available at an additional cost. Contact us for further details.
