AMEK ANGELA (YOM: ?) (S#: TBD) AVERAGE FOR AGE (6-7)

FEATURES: THIS AMEK ANGELA IS A 36 CHANNEL INLINE CONSOLE. THE MANUAL SPELLS OUT ANY NUMBER OF WAYS TO UTILIZE THE BOARD, AND THE ONBOARD PATCHBAY PROVIDES MANY ROUTING POSSIBILITIES.

EXTRAS: MANUAL, SCHEMATICS, STAND, CUSTOM MONITOR SHELVES AND POWER SUPPLIES ARE INCLUDED, AS WELL AS EXTRA POWER SUPPLY CABLES AND A SMALL ASSORTMENT OF SPARE PARTS.

MODIFICATIONS: PREAMPS ARE VERY NICE, EQ SOUNDS FANTASTIC: HIGH AND LOW SHELVES WITH MULTIPLE CORNER FREQUENCIES, TWO SWEEPABLE MIDRANGE CONTROLS WITH A CHOICE OF SKINNY OR WIDE Q AND A WIDE RANGE OF FREQUENCIES.

HISTORY: RUN FOR 2 YEARS IN A SIMPLE SPLIT CONFIGURATION AS A FRONT END TO A PRO TOOLS HD SYSTEM. CONSOLE HAS BEEN IN CLIMATE-CONTROLLED STORAGE FOR ABOUT A YEAR. STUDIO ENVIRONMENT WAS SMOKE FREE, AS WAS ITS PREVIOUS HOME OF ABOUT 10 YEARS.

COMMENTS: ONE POT (AN AUX SEND) NEEDS REPLACING AND A FEW BUSSING SWITCHES ARE OPERATING INTERMITTENTLY. ALL POTS WERE RECENTLY CLEANED AND MOST OPERATED VERY SMOOTHLY. 2 MUTE BUTTON LIGHTS NEED REPLACING, AND ONE OF THE WOOD SIDE PANELS IS CRACKED, BUT IT STILL ATTACHES TO THE BOARD AND LOOKS GREAT.

1) AT THE TIME I PURCHASED IT, IN OCTOBER 2005, I WAS TOLD IT HAD BEEN
RECAPPED "A COUPLE YEARS BACK," AND THAT THE CAPS HAD BEEN CHANGED ON THE
POWER SUPPLY VERY RECENTLY. AFTER I CLEANED ALL THE POTS, EVERYTHING SOUNDED
GREAT TO MY EARS.

2) THE IO IS MOSTLY ELCO (BUSSES, MIC PRES, PATCH BAY, ETC.), WITH XLR
CONNECTIONS FOR MONITORS AND AUX CHANNELS. THE PATCHBAY IS TT AND HAS POINTS
AT NEARLY EVERY STAGE IN THE SIGNAL PATH. I FOUND THE ROUTING TO BE
EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE.

I HAVE ALL THE ELCO CABLING NECESSARY TO CONNECT TO A 16 I/O PRO TOOLS HD
SYSTEM (ELCO -> 1/4" TRS), ONE ELCO -> M/F XLR (FOR BRINGING OUTBOARD TO THE
PATCH BAY), AND ONE ELCO THAT IS CURRENTLY SOLDERED TO A QUALITY XLR WALL
PLATE. THERE MAY BE MORE, BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M SURE OF FROM MEMORY. I WOULD
BE WILLING TO INCLUDE THE CABLING FOR AN ADDITIONAL COST, IF A BUYER IS
INTERESTED. OTHERWISE I WILL BE REPURPOSING IT FOR MY CURRENT NEEDS.

3) THIS UNIT DOES NOT HAVE AUTOMATION, BUT IT CAN BE EQUIPPED WITH VCA
AUTOMATION.
