This thing cost public broadcast probably 1 million or more back than, it seems there was no cost spared just like with analog German broadcasting before. The previous analog remote controlled consoles seem to be pretty awesome but I found only crappy pictures of them. I didn’t know Lawo until recently. It seems Lawo is still pretty established in Euopean professional broadcasting.

Hi! Yes indeed this thing did cost 1.1 Million afaik :) You can find pieces of the older consoles for sale, I myself have a pair of the yellow W995/1 EQs that have basic remote control ability.

Fader lube is the correct version of deoxit to use on pots. However if you over use it, it dissolves the friction grease that is applied to the shaft of the pot for resistance to turning. The feel of the pot will change from tight and accurate to adjust to 'loose to turn' with no friction ( like the volume on a fender strat.) To restore that you will need to remove and disassemble the pot. And reapply the proper friction grease around the shaft. So be careful. I ruined the master vol pot of my line 6 pod this way. Now you can flick it and it spins right around to full.
@tobitweaks 10 күн бұрын
Great comment, thank you! Will look for „friction grease“. I know from Contact Spray that it makes Pots too light. De-Oxit re-lubricates a bit but is ofc no replacement for proper lubrication! All the best, Tobi

you will definitely want to make better airflow in the rack with all that equipment in there and space things out a bit so they are not sitting on top of each other. In general wooden racks sound better especially if you use wooden rails as the equipment is not sharing chassis ground but they act like an oven if not given good airflow.
@tobitweaks 10 күн бұрын
Hi! Never seen wooden rails actually :) The Rack is quite open from the back so air should flow out nicely, but I‘ll monitor that. Thanks and all the best, Tobi

@@tobitweaksyou would just use a piece of strapping fastened to the sides of the rack rather than the metal rails and drill holes equally spaced into it based on the height of each piece of equipment i use two chopsticks to space the equipment for airflow only as i am drilling the holes but really a couple of cm is all that is needed

Thanks! The Rack is quite open from the back, so the heat should flow nicely. Also I know these Converters and they are fine as they have plenty of space inside their 2u Case :) (My UAD Apollos in the Studio are the complete opposite - Converters and DSP in a 1u case that gets CRAZY hot…). But yes - I want to find a good venting slot solution for wooden racks in the future that is easy to manufacture, durable and keeps the dust out! And looks nice ofc ;) Wood is indeed not good in terms of heat transfer. Thanks for following along and all the best, Tobi

Hi! It depends on who is doing the maintenance but as these desk are actually supposed to be super maintenance free once they run (from what I heard) you‘d just be left with a power bill of 80cents per hour (2kWh) that could ramp up to 64€ per Month if you run this desk 20hrs/week.

Hi Tobi. In the early/mid-2000s, Midas's parent company (Klark-Teknik) bought Dynacord. At this time, Klark-Teknik began to produce a set of Midas mixers called "Venice" (like yours) at the Dynacord factory in Germany, not at the Midas factory in Kidderminster, England anymore. By dec 2009 Midas and Klark-Teknik were acquired by "Music Group" (aka Behringer). Behringer's first move was to release a series of Chinese-made Venice mixers with built-in AD/DA Venice "F" and "U" series. As of today, the only analog Midas mixer is the DM12 or DM16, a copy of the Soundcraft EP models. Midas is interested only in selling digital mixers. I never owned an old analog Midas Venice mixer. Maybe you can recommend me which mixer should I buy for my humble home studio recording: "Mackie VLZ PRO (USA) or Midas Venice (Germany)." The Midas mixer price is higher than the Mackie VLZ PRO but I don't care. I just want to get the best preamps to record old fashion analog style here. Best!
@tobitweaks Ай бұрын
I like all the info right here! Thank you so much for sharing :) Honestly the Midas was smooth but did have the lowend a bit too light for my taste. All in all these two are best for use as „performance mixers“ anyway so if you can get a board with transformer input for some real flavour and direct outs you are golden. With that in mind the Midas at least have direct outs :) Hope that helps. All the best, Tobi
@tobitweaks Ай бұрын
@@MidasDiem The SSL is amazing for mixing and amongst all transformer-less boards surely amongst the best out there. If you are interested in transformer color look into Studer 169/269 or the 900 series for example. Or just research what your local broadcast used in the 70s - that would be my era to look for if I want an amazing recording board with a bit of color :) If you want super clean SSL might be the way to go. High End recording boards would be APIs or Neves or Trident. Hope that helps! All the best, Tobi
