MIXERS:
NEVE BCM 10/2/2 Mixer SN#A3477
Contains (10) 1073 Mic Pre/EQ Modules - these are the gold standard for NEVE modules, the one that everyone wants. Completely Class A circuitry throughout.
The channel direct outputs have been brought out on XLR connectors on the rear (transformer balanced, +4)
DL connectors have been added allowing access to all the inputs and outputs from a SSL patch bay.
The mixer comes with the original NEVE Manual, original power supply and spare parts.
It is in good working condition and has been maintained by NY tech Dan Zellman for the past several years.
NEVE KELSO 10/2/2 Mixer
This Neve mixer has 10 channels of discrete electronics, with a stereo output. The circuit cards in the KELSO are the same as in the 1081 equalizer/mic pre and found in the 8078 music recording consoles. There are two aux sends, the mix busses are assignable with a switch for each, the panpot engages when the two busses are selected. Equalizer/mic pre is a separate module with two fixed frequencies each with one knob, 10KHz and 100Hz, I believe. A high pass filter: selectable at 47Hz, 82Hz and 150Hz. There is a stepped input gain switch for mic and line input.
Comes with original power supply and reproduction manual.
EQUALIZERS:
PULTEC EQP-1A Program Equalizer SN#4122 – the tube standard, all others a measured against this one (sold)
PULTEC EQP-1S Program Equalizer SN#884 – same a the EQP-1A with different frequencies
PULTEC EQP-1RS Program Equalizer SN#561 – another version of the EQP-1A
PULTEC EQH-2 Program Equalizer SN#4645
PULTEC EQH-2 Program Equalizer SN#7225 - very similar to the EQP-1A with 12kHz as the top frequency but it lacks the bandwidth control of the EQP-1A. Two RU size.
PULTEC MEQ-5 Midrange Equalizer SN#1674
PULTEC MEQ-5 Midrange Equalizer SN#1232 - midrange EQ with two bands of boost and one of cut. It is exceedingly useful on guitars & bass. Two RU size.
PULTEC MEQ-5 Midrange Equalizer SN#6987 silver face, has API op-amps instead of tubes. Pultec switched from tubes to API op-amps just before they stopped manufacturing.

The above four modules are mounted in a custom case with integral power supply and XLR’s on the rear. This is what our studio manager told me after Eddie Kramer saw them: “Hey Kurt, Thought I'd let you know - This weekend, I recorded a last-minute interview for BBC Radio in here. They were interviewing Eddie Kramer about the "All Along the Watchtower" sessions with Jimi Hendrix for an upcoming "Classic Songs" series they're doing. It was pretty cool to have Eddie in here.
When he arrived, I pointed out the Datamix modules and asked Eddie if they looked familiar and he lit right up. After playing with them for a while, he decided that they were definitely modules from the original console in Studio B at Electric Lady……..” C. Rutledge 10/11/2005
LIMITERS / COMPRESSORS / EXPANDERS:
UNIVERSAL AUDIO 175b Tube Limiter SN#1476
UNIVERSAL AUDIO 175b Tube Limiter SN#1268
BAUER ELECTRONICS 920 PEAK MASTER Tube Limiter SN#105 – this is a 175b with a different faceplate. Bill Putnam built these for competitive bidding contracts.
Like the Fairchild 660, the 176b was based around a variable-mu tube gain reduction design. This means that gain reduction is controlled by highly unique variable-mu dual triode tube. Variable-mu tubes have the ability to reduce their mu (gain), as the input signal increases.

CALREC CL1204 Limiter/Compressor (pair) custom mounted by Brent Averill – the units have a stereo linking switch and ducking inputs. Calrec Desks were contemporaries of NEVE and were said to sound just as good. These units incorporate the famous BBC AM6/17A module. These things are impossible to find, not many were made.
