Classic Recording Studio Equipment

Sony made a killer effects processor with the DPS-V77, so next step was to capitalize on that with a four channel version right? But, something went wrong…On paper at least, the Sony DPS-V55 should be a killer effects processor, but by all accounts it does not succeed. Just as Roland did with their SRV-3030, the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired.
The Fostex D-160 is a 16-track digital multitrack recorder with eight additional tracks that employs a 3.5-inch E-IDE type removable hard disk as the recording media.
The TL Audio 5051 provides the perfect front end for any system by offering a combined preamp, compressor, equaliser and noise gate all in one easy-to-use package: now with an optional digital output.
