[@DigitalFacts]

The more videos I watch you fixing this desk, the more impressed I am by the skills of the engineers that developed and built this thing. Kudos!

[@tobiverseofficial]

Me too! I first was like „how developed should this be this is late 90s windows NT based“ but the more I work with it the more it appears as a complete and well thought out system! And I am in contact with other that still use this console and say these are super reliable. Have yet to find a proper „bug“ in the system that would be from the development side :) Thanks for watching and all the best, Tobi

[@DigitalFacts]

@@tobiverseofficial what is the big goal behind all this. I mean. A working/refurbished console is always nice and cool. But what will you do with this beauty when everything is working according specs? Will you use it? Sell it? Thank YOU for letting us be part of this project.

[@tobiverseofficial]

@@DigitalFacts Hi! Glad you asked. Chances habe never been so high that this will serve my recording and mixing facility in Berlin. But more an that later this year :) All the best, Tobi

[@moneeo]

These looooooong VU meters are such a luxury!❤

[@tobiverseofficial]

You‘re right these things feel crazy long especially because of the high resolution! All the best, Tobi

[@snoopy4ever]

Can't deny it is getting better and better .. and I enjoy every single vid more and more... kudos!!!!! ... I think on this console some things can still be found at least the LED's individually and other stuff ... Keep up the great job !!! enjoying a lot !!!

[@tobiverseofficial]

Thank you so much for this comment! Happy to have you onboard. Yes I hope I can service this console as long as possible with „off the shelf parts“. All the best, Tobi

[@RPSchonherr]

So cool that you got it for free. I got a church organ that way and it's just needed a little fixing to get it working right. It's a happy thing.

[@tobiverseofficial]

Sounds super cool! You have a whole church organ now at your house? Haha reminds me of Look Mum No Computer he rebuild a pipe organ once that ended up in someone’s house before 😊 All the best, Tobi

[@mickikaufman5360]

Pure gorgeousness

[@tobiverseofficial]

Thank you so much!!! All the best, Tobi

[@Lars.H.Pedersen]

Damn, that console looks great. It is all digital.

[@tobiverseofficial]

Yes it all is only the Headphone Amplifiers and the Talkback Amplifier are analog (and the AD/DA converters of course) All the best, Tobi

[@mitfreundlichengrussen1234]

Sehr geil! Thank you for sharing!

[@DJBLUEPHOENIX]

This is so awesome!!!

[@macieksoft]

Do you have a manual for that console? I am curious about how it works. Seems like some kind of modular design.

[@tobiverseofficial]

Hi Yes there is a manual, I don‘t know if I have a digital copy tho. The manual explains how to use the console and is pretty well written. But there is not too much information in it on how the system really works in the background and how to service or troubleshoot it ;) All the best, Tobi

[@macieksoft]

@@tobiverseofficial Is it possible to remap the softkeys or change the layout of the console on you'r own? Does it work with 96kHz sample rate or just 48?

[@tobiverseofficial]

Yes I can remap the Softkeys! Tho I have not done that yet. Also only basic sample rates sadly - 44.1 and 48. Would have loved to do 96 at some point in the future especially as with 168 I/O on Madi to my computer and theoretical 448 channels from interfaces to the console the Madi Lines would have easily managed that :) All the best, Tobi

[@Joe-mz6dc]

Super cool

[@JagerSven]

Man id love to own a console like that

[@plugexpert]

Cool stuff! I always wonder with these big machines how much power they draw, how many power sockets do you need to power everything :-)

[@tobiverseofficial]

Hi! Yes I‘ll cover that as I am monitoring the power consumption constantly as to not flip my breaker :) All the best, Tobi

[@DDiodes]

I want this so bad

[@philwhite1897]

Geiles Pult. War das vorher in der Nalepastraße?

[@tobiverseofficial]

@@philwhite1897 Hi! Nein das kommt von der Wave Akademie im Prenzlauer Berg :) Beste Grüße, Tobi

[@FI-TECH-250]

Worth a try. 700 euros and ill take it😂😂😂

[@tobiverseofficial]

@@FI-TECH-250 I actually saw a system go for 1000€ not too long ago…still sad I missed this one it had 3 smaller consoles and also about 90 Ins and outs…You just have to put in the work to set these up and restore em! Hope that helps. All the best, Tobi

[@FI-TECH-250]

@@tobiverseofficial thanks for the motivation. Ima accually trying to setup a studio inside my room. But thats damn near impossible,nsince im only 14 and dont have a job to buy equipment like this. Just another 2 years and that dream might come true. I also noticed you had an german accent. Are you german, because im german.

[@tobiverseofficial]

@@FI-TECH-250 Welcome! Yes I am from Berlin, and I started producing music at the age of 17 in a room inside my parents basement :) All the best, Tobi

[@Soso-km8er]

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.

[@tobiverseofficial]

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. And they look so weird haha I love to have one of those consoles! Yes Lawo doing fantastic they have quite the reputation for being used in big international sports events :) All the best, Tobi

[@kuglepen64]

Remember to WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU DID to make it work. You can thank me later.

[@Jean-BaptisteMaene]

Exactly! Documentation is important!

[@tobiverseofficial]

Hmm I should start doing that…For now I am happy with filming stuff and taking photos and notes when doing a disassembly but you‘re right documenting some of the fixes aswell could be helpful. Thanks and all the best, Tobi

[@XR7810FOX]

Mmm ja das deutsche english. merkt man!

[@tobiverseofficial]

Moin! Gut erkannt :) Beste Grüße, Tobi
