DISC MASTERING & STUDIO TECHNICAL ENGINEERING
DISC MASTERING TECH
Routine maintenance and extensive engineering works undertaken on Neumann, Scully and Lyrec cutting systems. Servicing of associated tape, processing and monitoring equipment along with high end Hi-Fi tech. New components manufactured for cutting systems and their amplification.
Latest developments include Neumann VMS80 Pitch & SAL74B Amplifier cards replaced & upgraded. Pitch motor remanufactured and Turntable tachometer rebuilt.
During ongoing development, the highly modified Neumann system offers solid state & valve lacquer and acetate cutting.
STUDIO TECHNICAL ENGINEERING
From rebuilding mono valve amplifiers to new console automation.
A wide range of specialist past work from compact amplifier design, restoration of valve tape systems to large format analog consoles.
Specialising in the repair and servicing of classic microphones, outboard equipment and custom equipment builds.
Commonly servicing Neumann, SSL and Neve consoles. Nut & Bolt Restorations include Neumann SP transfer desk, EMI TG Console & Neve VR3.
EMI TG 12345 & Disc Transfer Console
An ex-Abbey Road console of the late 60's; on which the now sought after preamps, EQ's and Zener limiter on all 24 channels needed extensive work. I later restored a TG Transfer Console using this experience to completely rebuild it for use in a modern mastering workflow.
Water Damaged Neumann VMS-80
After a catastrophic water ingress and electrical failure, I slowly restored a Neumann VMS-80 and its SAL74B amplifiers, rebuilding all electrical components and repairing mechanical aspects. I redesigned some amplification cards and limiters to be more stable and precise.
Neumann VMS-70 & SAL74A
This low-serial VMS-70 coming from damp storage in a warm climate had damage to its power supply, and the SAL rack was in almost completely original condition. Newly designed amplifier PCB's along with custom output transistors with replaced darlington pairs.
