EMI MF10 Mobile Analog Mixing Console (Vintage)

EMI MF10 Mobile Analog Mixing Console (Vintage)

Built with the highest quality Siemens, Telefunken, TAB and Eckmiller components. The MF10 (one of 10) was developed for EMI/Electrola and released in 1972.  These mobile mixing consoles were used by EMI Branches as well as Abbey Road Studios in London. Now it became possible to record concerts of the highest quality for the EMI Artists tours. Includes the original “indestructible” road cases that transported the console to the 1972 Olympics. this console was designed and built to mil spec by a team of highly skilled engineers.

Console Components

32 x Siemens/Sitral W295 Germanium EQ’s

A bridge impedance, fully discrete class-A push-pull output Equaliser designed in West Germany in the early 70s. Features input and output transformers, inductor based midrange,  germanium BCY58, SST117, and BCY 66 transistors, 600-ohm input and output “bridge” impedance,

6 x TAB U373a Compressors

2 controls. one for release time (3 static, 3 program-dependent), and one switch which engages the limiter only, or limiter and comp together, the latter with 3 different settings affecting threshold, make-up gain and ratio – “presets”, for light, medium, and heavy compression. light compression has high threshold, 10dB make-up, and about 2.5:1 ratio. heavy comp. has low threshold, 20dB, and about 3.2:1. medium values appropriately.

32 x “Dannerkassette” TAB W376 Pre Amp powered Eckmiller Faders with “subsonic noise filter”

The console consists of 32 x Dannerkassette fader/pre-amps. The TAB V 376 (Transistorized successor to the V76) mic preamps are discrete with silicon planar transistors inside. The unit has a maximum gain of 76dB and selectable roll-off frequencies of 40, 80 and 140 Hz. Gain is controlled via 11-step gold plated rotary switches and an additional potentiometer for a6dB fine trim. Transformer balanced inputs and outputs
