Moving stuff across the country
I most certainly had a busy “reading week”. Â It started with finishing up a job My brother Mike started. Â Moving 7 pallets of equipment from my moms garage in Saskatoon. Â Â Followed by great visits with Family and friends. Â I’m sorry I did not get the chance to meet with everyone I had planned to visit with. Â Things got a little busy in the IT support world and there was so much family to visit!
Three consoles were packaged and palleted up for shipment across the country.
Custom made dollies were built for the two large sections of console frames.
Modules were packed, boxed and palleted. Â A small fortune in bubble wrap and pallet wrap were employed.Â
This is the PSU for a console along with a 1″ Studer A80 8 track Recorder that was made transportable.
I’m excited to work on these projects again in my “Spare time”
Stay tuned for updates of what’s happening with this lot. Â We’re very excited for what’s planned :-)

Joel Plaskett rocking some WBS pre-amps
I was reading http://professional-sound.com/Â (like I do every month plug plug) and saw Joels lovely new studio and Neve Console. Â Front an centre I was happy to see the set of WBS pre-amps I wired up for him a few years ago. Â Glad they’re making great records! And congrats to Thomas, who was apparently a regular at Revolution Recording… I just kept my head down and in the back

It’s a backplate to simply wire and power up (4) WBS filters and Compressors. Â M466, M466M, M462, A, B or M464 Filter. Â A balancing card for M472 eq modules is on the drawing board too!Â

Using a POD 2 switcher
I wanted to add some components to my home listening system, so a switcher was needed. I’ve decided to use a POD 2 switcher…
the POD-2 is a (6) Stereo input – stereo switcher that has the ability to sum all inputs. The output of the switcher feeds a Stereo Penny and Giles fader then directly to the Mackie HR824 speakers.
I’ve got to find a panel… but as far as home friendly user interface goes this is as simple as it gets.

A project I’ve been working on has come… full circle ;-)
Congrats to Kevin Park and the Lacquer channel team for getting the Neumann VMS70 back in the game. A fantastic project to have been a part of! We recapped the entire audio electronics for Kevin before he had lathe aficionado Chris Muth calibrate it. It’s a fine precision piece of audio electronics and Kevin is one HELL of a lathe mechanic and cutting engineer! It, and he, are in good hands over at Toronto’s Lacquer Channel. I’m excited to cut a few plates myself!
