EAB / Geiling 12 Channel Tube Console #134 (Vintage)

The EAB / Geiling 12-Channel Tube Console (Used) is a beautiful condition desk made for the German broadcast market. Only 300 of these babies were ever made, and it is rare to find one on the market. Sweet and smooth tube sound, like having a sidecar full of V72'/V76 mic pre's with 3-band Pultec type tube EQ on every channel. Mic pre's sound big and open with 60 dB of gain. EQ has rich low end, selectable frequency mids with sweet, open top end shelf.

Four of the twelve input channels have pan pots, while eight inputs can only be assigned to left or right busses. The best way to use the desk for mixing would be to send 4x stereo stems to the 8 channels with no pan and 4 by signals that need placement in the stereo field up the 4 channels with panning (included would be an amplifier & output transformer per channel to achieve the correct direct out level).
