EAB V65C Valve Mixer

EAB V65C Valve Mixer Modification

Custom modification of a 1964 six into one mixer to have separate channel outputs. Each channel has a Telefunken EF86 based microphone amplifier which was taken via an umbilical cable to a rack of line drivers . A -20dB pad, phase inversion, mute, level control and metering were also added to the modules.
