Glad to hear you're doing well Cory :)

Oops, never mind! I found the manual here: Discontinued Product Manuals, Schematics and Software - Biamp Systems

Hello, A friend of mine is offloading some of his old equipment to me, including a Biamp 1683 mixer. I'm unable to find even a decent hi-res photo online. Does anyone have high quality pictures, or better yet, a copy of the manual for this beast? Thanks!

:thumbs up::thumbs up: At the very least, you've got that cool gold reel. I have a couple myself, they make great takeup reels. Six screws and thick, sturdy metal...

I've seen it on nearly every list of SSS tapes. Based on that I would say there's at least a 50% chance it will need baking?

Hi, I use a Tascam 208 mixer and I've had similar issues plugging TRS plugs into the 1/4" jacks on the mixer's Line Ins. I found the same thing, that when I switched to 1/4" TS plugs, everything worked correctly. I think it's nothing to do with the connector or cable, it's all to do with the...

Crest are still around, they're a Peavy subsidiary now. Here's the mixer I was thinking of: Peavey Commercial Audio

Cool! The layout of that mixer is pleasing from an aesthetic perspective. It sort of reminds me of the Crest Audio rackmount mixers.

You can find the rollers on ebay or you can send your old rollers to Terry's Rubber Rollers to be rebuilt. Are the rollers covered in tape goo, or has the rubber itself become gummy?

RMGI SM911, or any other +6 tape, is the modern equivalent of what your machine was designed to use.

Check out this cool article online. A new record pressing plant has opened in Calgary: Canada’s only vinyl pressing plant opens in Calgary | Globalnews.ca I took a screenshot partway through the video, too, of this guy's sweet MCI desk + recorder:

It's easy to use a mixer like yours with a tape machine but it requires a certain amount of patching. I had a 8-track Tascam connected to a Mackie VLZ Pro. I connected the recorder's outputs to the Mackie's channel inserts. On a patchbay, if you normal the tape machine's outputs to the mixer's...

Hi, Long time no post. How's everyone doing? :) Just a quick question - where can one buy a cassette deck calibration tape? Does such a thing exist anymore? Has anyone here purchased one before? Thanks! - Jeffrey

Was the mixer was from Inner Ear? Or from Ian's home studio?

If you can afford expensive high end stuff then go for it. It's not necessary for better recordings, but you're free to spend however much you like :) The MTR-90 will be the most affordable to operate, they are regarded to be well built and there are lots of spare parts available second hand...

Oh, sure, I have desoldering tools, etc. I've done smaller recapping jobs before, just not a 24 channel mixer. And I enjoy this kind of project too, recapping and making snakes are oddly meditative.

Thanks for the input! I'm inclined to leave it alone. I was wondering if there'd be any reason to just go ahead with a recapping job - I haven't even had time to set it up properly and run signals through it. Plus I have a masochistic fascination with long, boring DIY electronics projects ;)

Hello folks! I recently became the new owner of a 1992-era Soundcraft Spirit Studio console. I'll probably hold onto it for a long time, I got it for a bargain and it's great for what it is. In shipping, though, it was dropped on its side and it suffered damage to the chassis. The electronics...

I purchased your video set a few weeks ago. Great job!

I just ordered one from Tascam USA. $28 plus $5 shipping. Cheap!
