Hi all,
I’ve just bought some mics and as a kind of random purchase from the same vendor in Russia picked up some channel strips that have been taken out of a console.
They are 2 x Zvukotehnika (Lomo Popov Institute of Sound) line level channel strips. I think they were made in 1979 and are Germanium transistors and input transformer. There’s attenuation, high and low eq and mid eq with notched eq points. Monitor and aux send. No mic preamps or phantom power as far as I can tell. The vendor has sent me a scan of schematics in Russian with various keypoints translated into English, I'm under the impression that everything essential has been translated but I'm not technical so can't be sure.
Anyway so I’m wondering if anyone might have used these or similar or know anything about them?
I was thinking of using them as a pair to color stuff coming off DAW and track back into the daw.
I would like to try to find a tech that could rack them for me (I’m in London, UK if anyone can recommend someone) - I imagine they just need power and inputs and outputs? - But I’d like to get an idea of what’s involved first, parts needed, likely costs etc. I posted on the Electrical Audio forum and a forum member suggested someone on this site might advise, my apologies if this is the wrong part of the forum for this type of post.
Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated! Thanks!
p.s. If you think it’s not worth doing please tell me! Thanks!
