Hi All, anybody out there know anything about a mixer called Electrosound? was supposedly built by soundcraft for a sound co called Electrosound....supposedly only six of these were ever built. this one came out of a club called US Blues from the late '70's.....any info at all? anybody??
Thanks, Frank

IIRC, this was what became the Series Four.

I dont have any info, but I actually bought an (enormously large and heavy) 8 track 1" Electrosound tapemechine a few years back. Luckily I got the full service manual also, but I did find next to nothing online about this brand. (I did sell the tape macine a few months later to a friend who has restored it to some extent).

I don't know if their tape decks were tied into Soundcraft production but I found this page for visual comparisons.

Here's an ad for one of their tape decks, the one I had was looking like this one except htat it had 8 channels instead of 2.

Definitely not a Soundcraft Magnetics deck.
And the company, being based in CA, has nothing in common with the canadian company that had Soundcraft make them a custom mixer. Now that I think of it, I believe the name was Electro-Tech...

The deck looks like an Ampex AG-series (350/440)

With different electronics.
