< Back to Repairs
Recording mixer, designed for Frank Zappa, in a sorry state.
Please click on the images to enlarge
- Studiomaster / Katya Professional modular recording mixer, originally designed for avant-garde musician Frank Zappa, suffering from several faults
- Parasitic oscillation problems cured
- Dead channels resurrected
Description of images:
- Set in a recording studio on the North-Norfolk coast: a beautiful location to work
- The mixer completely disassembled
- The mixer re-assembled working faultlessly. The main problem was a microscopic solder whisker shorting across two adjacent temrinals on the mixers' bus-board. We only found this problem through scientific deduction, the whisker was too small to be found by eye!
