Helios Reissue Type 69 VK Racked Pair #209-2/209-5 (Used)

Reissue Helios Type 69 Mic Pre/3 band EQ pair. Discrete. Switchable lo/mid. Fixed 10k top. Hi-pass. Custom VK rack.

Some of the greatest albums of the 70's were made on Helios consoles, including Led Zeppelin, the Stones, the Who, Humble Pie, Bad Company, or anything cut in the Rolling Stones Mobile truck.

Unlike anything you have used, if you are stuck in API-Neve land. These are so unique. The mids are so funky and sweet ---- guitars and snare drums from heaven-woody and sweet tone!!! 700 to 2k to die for. Lows and highs reminiscent of Pultec. Extremely open mic pre. In mic shootouts, these are as open as the king daddy Telefunken V76m. What else is there to say? Transform your life!
