The Mixer:
The mixer is a 24 channel Soundtracs Topaz Project 8 with
meter bridge. This is the British made mixer which has gotten rave reviews
everywhere. It is known best for its gorgeous sounding pres, EQ section, and is
sought after by in-the-know studio engineers around the world.
It has had the +4dB modification done and it works good.
Everything on this console works, except that channel 24
fader is starting to misbehave. Oh, and I think the light bulb in the main VU
meter is out, (but the meter still works.) Overall, it is in pretty good shape,
very clean, and looks good.
It's a great console for a project or semi-pro studio. One thing
this console doesn't lack is routing capabilities. Monitor mix can be merged
with Main mix for a total of 48 inputs at mixdown!
It is still hooked up in my home studio. You can play
around, explore the features, and/or mix a song on it if you want.
I have removed the mixer side moldings and original armrest
in order to build it into the desk. I will give them to you and they can easily
be reconnected at any time.

I really love this mixer and don’t want to see it go but
alas, I must pay the bills.
I will not ship. Local pickup only.
Good luck and thanks
for looking.
