THE Soundtracs MEGAS : as favoured by dub /reggae merchants
.jpg)
Thes MEGAS desks have been covetted by REGGAE / DUB producers . Long time user CARL from STINGRAY records wouldnt use anything else , he bought his MEGAS brand new around 18 years ago and he still uses it now !
please see CarlStingray my space
Ive sold TWO to studios in JAMAICA in the past and last week ( JUNE 2008 )I personally took one over to ARNO who lives just outside Amsterdam , he is the biggest dub producer in Netherlands .

response email back :
Yes Tim,
as soon as i have a dread in the studio we will make a nice pic.
But the EQ is wicked.... the mackie EQ sounds like a cheap hifi EQ compared
to the Megas. Fat, full and very accurate.
Cheers
The Megas console :
- 4 x transistor front end mic amps (same kind of thing you would get in a £250 stand alone mic' preamp) and the same as the QUARTZ /IN LINE and JADE !!
- Split format (channels and groups/monitors)
- 4 band swept- mids' eq
- Six aux sends
- Midi mutes
- Full length meter bridge which "looks at" the 24 tape returns
- 24 group fader sends and 24 tape returns all with 2 band EQ facility
- "Active pans" (very accurate law)
- 2 x Control room sends,
- 2 x 2 track returns
- This was a £12,000 console in 1994
