At the heart of the package is Abbey Road Studios' legendary REDD.37 console (one of only three ever created), with this particular model being active in EMI Studio One and utilized on various recording sessions by The Beatles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eThe History Of The REDD.37 Console\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBased on the REDD.17 built by Peter Burkowitz, the REDD.37 is a continuation of this classic technology, pushed even further by Len Page and the Record Engineering Development Department (REDD) team. The console is constructed from five individual pieces and features an upgrade in the number of tracks and channels, in addition to the use of V72s mic preamps. To meet the 200 ohms impedance requirement utilized by all Abbey Road gear, the desk was specifically modded to fit these preamps, which involved adding a 168 ohm internal resistor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eA Decade Of Creating Timeless Recordings\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe REDD.37 console included in this package was built in December 1958, as denoted by its serial number, #58121A (58 – the year, 12- the month).

As one of only eight tape machines used at Abbey Road Studios, this piece of equipment was revolutionary, as it allowed producers and engineers to bounce tracks and pull-off accurate drop-ins while overdubbing. The Studer J37 is a four-track 1” multi-track tape machine, which records at both 7.5ips and 15ips, and features 52 tubes in its design. This make-up includes four record amplifiers, each with two ECC188 tubes, and four reproduce amplifiers, each with three ECC188s and an E283CC. The frequency response at 15ips was spec’d at 30Hz to 15kHz (+\/-2dB).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe second tape machine included in this package is a Studer C37, which is a two-track stereo master recorder that runs 1\/4 inch tape. As the predecessor to the J37, the C37 was released in the early 1960s and maintained its status as a studio favorite until being phased out in the 1970s. This tape machine records at both 7.5ips and 15ips, features the original C37 resin-body heads, offers balanced XLR input and output, CCIR – NAB selectable equalization and modular tube electronics, with\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eindependent Dual-Mono Rec and Play boards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: EMI\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: REDD.37\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Manufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1958\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePedigree\/History\u003c\/strong\u003e: Abbey Road Studio 1\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral Specs:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e8 ch. mic\/line channel inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFull set of 8 \"Pop\" interchangeable EQ cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFull set of 8 \"Classic\" interchangeable EQ cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4 bus\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4 ch. monitor returns\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4 ch. echo returns\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e2 ch. direct inject line input to bus\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e2 Echo sends per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e2 Cue sends per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eControl room output\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eStudio loud speaker output\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePatchbay: Built-in Siemens branded with Tuchel to XLR breakout cables\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal manual: Included\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTech report: Available\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate Weight: 800 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 132 cm (51.9 in) x 53 cm (20.9 in) x 92 cm (36.2 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAlso included:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e3 EMI RS-127 outboard presence EQs\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFlight cases\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSpare EQ cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e: Operates only on 230-240v 50 or 60 Hz - Suitable step up transformer or 240V service required for use in a 120V environment.
