For Sale Studer 963 28ch console

[thomasdf]

Hello

I am selling for friend of mine his Studer 963 console, here are the specs :
28 mic / line / oscillator channels
2 master channels
8 groups / line inputs
4 auxes (AF / PF)
10 comp / lim modules
Test generator channel
Aux Monitor channel
Control Room channel
Extended Patchbay

All I/Os are XLR, on the back for the console.

The console is in working condition, was decommission from a radio station and then set up in his private non smocking climate controlled mixing room where it was loved. Only thing I could notice is the center pot of the mid band EQ being sticky on some channels due to not being used the last past year or so. Nothing a little spray couldn't fix.
The console and various modules sound perfect, and my friend took quite some time to align and trim the channels, resulting in a very precise calibration regarding to levels, noise figure etc.

Cosmetically it has seen a lot of use, but it is overall a beautiful desk. It comes with a homemade channel extender, 5 more patchbay rows, a custom made plexi support for computer keyboard / mouse, some bantam patch cables and some power regulator modules.

The desk is located in Montreuil, France, right next to Paris. As of today the price is 9000 euros, but this does not include shipping.
The console is still in the mixroom and can be tested in full situation with monitors, outboard gear, 32 i/o protools etc.

Please contact me for more info, pictures and serious offers.

Thanks for reading

nah they're rather light

 

[gyraf]

Yeah, I have a 12/4, and that is only like 150kg / 300lbs

This is a very decent price for a real console. If only I was equipping one more room...

Definitely a sturdy ship nonetheless !

12/4 is the smaller 962 frame ? it's much lighter than 150kg !! (still heavy little mixer)
won't say the same about 089...which is barely (trans)portable by two guys...despite the 4 robust handles

We had 2pcs 990+the DASH Studer system in the old studio,you can move those only by forklifts

you can move those only by forklifts

I know... I had to move two 289 in my -new- place some years ago...completely disassembled them both to be able to do it -by hand-, still heavy sub frame for 3 pples at stairs
Initial pickup where off funny too

Hope my sound get heavier since

Price is open to discussion, my friend would rather sell it a bit cheaper than racking the channels…

Thanks for your input, a beautiful sounding desk indeed.

BUMP!

We have a couple of those here (2 and 3 buckets). GREAT little (compact) analog desks. Ours came out of Israel (Bethlehem Channel 1 If I remember correctly) when they decommissioned their publicly owned broadcast stations, and switched to privately owned broadcast stations. These desks were also used by the Canadian Broadcasting thing.

Maybe this will help.

 

[thomasdf]

these brochures are gorgeous ! Thanks for sharing

 

[thomasdf]

Still available

 

[desol]

What outputs are on the back? Group outputs? Direct outputs? Thanks

 

[thomasdf]

I’d need to get back there and double check but IIRC, they all are available on the back, XLR format yes. Please DM me if interested and I can send more pictures. Thanks

 

[thomasdf]

It does have direct outs

 

[Whoops]

A friend bought 900 series console, very very similar to that one, 6 months ago,
He bough it for 5000€

these are decent consoles, mostly were used in broadcast, but they're worth less and less everyday,
the demand for analog consoles is pretty small nowadays and the number of available analog consoles in the market is pretty high. You can have a decent analog console for peanuts

 

[thomasdf]

Price is open to discussion, as I said above... I am not the seller, and the seller wishes it could land into a nice home rather than being parted out.

That being said I don't know how you'd feel if I came out of nowhere in one of your sale thread and posted such message. This is not a brewery section discussion.
