Hi group
I decided to create an Amek M2500 thread to collect and preserve informations about these desks. Feel free to post whatever you think is appropriate and needs to be shared. I´m going to fill the thread with bits and pieces as time and knowledge allows.
I´ve attached a picture of my desk. It´s the broadcast version with 24 transformer balanced micpres and 12 transformer balanced stereo line channels. It´s completely torn apart since years. Initially I wanted to refurbish it, but due to moving and servicing so many other desks besides having a job I haven´t much done other than recapping. After all my controlroom in our new house is still an empty shell with nothing inside than the console frame....
A few month ago a friend called me since he bought a M2500, too. He needed some help with installation, so I passed by to have a look at his desk. It turned out that there were micpre cards and group cards missing. After getting most of the gremlins out of the desk I made a PCB layout for both cards in the original format to bring his desk back to full potential. Today the micpre PCB prototype arrived. I´ll keep you updated how they turn out.
Here´s the helpful-links department:
