What can I output my TEAC 80-8 reel to reel to for monitoring?

[williemvincent]

Hello, I am going to use a TEAC 80-8 reel to reel for home recording. I front end it with a Spirit Folio 8 track mixer and I want advice on what would be a good 8 into 2 stereo mixer solution to sit between the outputs from the reel to reel and the monitoring (Edirol powered speakers)?

Many thanks.

See if you can find a Tascam Model 1 out there. That's what I used to use YEARS ago.

I have one. It's labeled "TEAC 1 Tascam Series", if that gives you an idea of how old it is.

There's a Model 3 on Ebay pretty cheap right now. Probably a little more mixer than you need for monitoring, but it's a hell of a price. You'd have to change the bulbs in the meters and the LA4201 headphone amps.

That is a good deal if it all works. I could drive up the road 150 miles and pick it up. I think not though.

The seller claims everything works but the lamps and headphone outs. I'd jump on it myself if I hadn't just bought the MM-1.
