Don't know exactly. It was sent to me by a mate some time ago. It's of a german radio station. The console obviously has two EMT 930's, a Telefunken M5 (I think) RtR and lots of Telefunken V72 / V73 line/mic preamps plus what look like a couple of V81 amps. The bank of faders could be Neumann or Eckmiller.

It looks to be a mono setup though unless the cartridges are the ultra rare TSD12. The M5 is usually mono and I would have expected to see either an AEG T7 or Telefunken M10 if it were stereo.

Get one your living room you can dress up as Ming the Merciless :eek:

Oh what fun that would be... Not sure that the look would compliment my fave kitten heels, though! :eyebrows:

I love the 'sober and functional' aesthetic (do you know what I mean?) of 1960s BBC control rooms, such as those found during that period in Broadcasting House in London, which the picture of the German radio studio reminded me of :)

Here's an example of what I'm talking about (spot the Tannoys being used for monitoring purposes ;)):

If I had the right sort of room at home, I'd give it the same 'vibe'/aesthetic as that!

That 70's studio has more of an Enterprise feel to it.

I know where you're coming from! Do you think 70s? To me, it looks more like late 60s. Those are Tannoy Lancasters, on the stands, n'est-ce pas? When were they introduced? :)

Im fussy about condition generally but with magazines beggars can't be choosers..

The killer with magazines is you have to have all the months - it's gutting to have one missing! I was like that about Record Collector, and Wire, until I ran out of space. Expensive indeed!

Mixing desk and decor look like 70's.

1930' to 50's was the golden age though.
