Tim if you're interested you could probably get them for $3k, he offered me......I should still have his personal contact details.

Ah Nic, thanks anyway
My Auditronics pre's are fine - Calrec's would be superfluous to what I need right now..
However, I'm in the market for some API stuff now.
A little windfall arrived in my lap for my 40th birthday yesterday!! :) :)
Tim..

That same gentleman offered to trade his calrecs for my soundtracs console. Seems like a nice guy from my brief conversation with him.

Happy birthday mate. I won't tell anyone it's your 40th.
Get a lunch box and fill it up.

hey, does anybody know how to effectively rack these pres...

ive got a couple of similar ones (pq 1253)

i have heard that the outputs cant suitably drive a very big load..... certainly slapping a transformer on the output will in most cases fry the output transistors.....

i have seen some output cards on ebay - but i dont know what model is compatible....

seeing this post reminded me of my dust collecting pile of 'calrec, audix, api' junk (treasure) that i have lying around....
oh well maybe sometime this decade....

I though these had been racked already!!
Hmmm....

These are my old Calrec's. Very nice pres and EQ's. The Calrec's, API and Neve 2254's were not thing's I wanted to sell. I only kept the Buzz pre when I sold of the studio.
These were racked by Funky Junk I brought them from a guy in England second hand.
Racking I used to get a few emails asking about how they were racked as there is a few similar modules on ebay. I think you need the output board to go with them?
I can give you contact info if you want as well. I think he is stupid selling them told him so on the weekend.

Hey Dave,

you wouldnt know the model number of the calrec output card that suits these modules? there are a heap of different ones on ebay...

Sorry never opened up the rack. Maybe email funky junk as I had seen they racked a few more. As one was for sale when I brought these.

Hey people. Thanks for that Daveo! Perhaps im a little silly. But hey, they are not sold yet. Yes i'll accept $3000 plus post if its a bank deposit transaction (as opposed to a Paypal one). But anything less than 3k, well i'd rather keep 'em.

Hey TimS - yeah its racked an ready to go. So Whats this output card you guys speak of? Its a complete unit.

If anyone wants a chat about these pre's give me a buzz 0410 509 529
