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

May 07: Marious in Holland got hold of a Megas...
i worked before with a Mackie 24/8 , then a Yamaha O2R V2 , then a TASCAM DM-3200
i make house and soul/hiphop
i found the mackie too dull, the yamaha to metallic and the tascam too clinical (plastic)
do you have experience with a good recording desk with nice preamps and
EQ ?
that's why i'm gonna test the soundtracs MEGAS this weekend !
many regards
marius
Yes Ive heard the Megas is favoured by hip-hop/reggae producers, I know Carl from Stingray in NW London has had his for years; loves it.
Let me know how you get on
Best Regards

The 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 Carl's MySpace.
Ive sold TWO to studios in JAMAICA in the past and in June 2008. I personally
took a real beauty 40 input over to ARNO who lives just outside Amsterdam, he is the biggest dub producer in Netherlands.
Here he is. This guy is seriously into Dub...
Has just had a great write up in the French Dub Mag Natty
Dread (Bob Marleys first album wasnt it?) |
