Studer A827 Gold Edition 2” 24 Track Analog Recorder (Vintage)

Willi Studer Signature Series This is one of the final late 90’s last production run of 100 Studer A827’s. The Gold Editions commemorated founder Willi Studer. His finely crafted Swiss multitrack machines changed the world of recording. From the famous Tube 4 Track J37 used by the Beatles all the way up to the late 90’s, Studer never compromised quality and craftsmanship. The last run of A827’s were distinguishable by the signature nameplate, gold transport and black wooden trim. The original list price was $58,000. All of the machines were hand made in Switzerland and this final run represented the end of the magnetic recording machine production era, and the inevitable take over of the digital recording boom. Today young musicians and producers are learning. The legacy of the most significant records that changed music history from the 50’s through the 90’s were all likely tracked and mixed with a console, tape recorder.

Rare Circa Early 1970’s, round and thick sounding vintage Neve Comps, expertly racked by our friends at BAE. These beauties are becoming increasingly sought after.

The 2254 uses diode bridge that acts as the level control element as well as a BA183/283 amplifier (as fitted to the 1272) and this raises the level back up but then, at the gain make up, the 20dB gain is achieved by bypassing a 20dB pad, sequentially, until the attenuation is removed.
