TEAC TASCAM Model 5 5B Vintage 1970's Analog Recording Mixing Console Made in Japan Classic Discrete Transistor!
In September, 1975, the long awaited TASCAM series Model 5 analog mixer (8x4x4), was shipped in limited quantities to excited dealers across the United States. The Model 5 had all the features of the Model 10. Its success in the marketplace was attributed to the fact that it was quieter, considerably less expensive than the Model 10, and was designed to give musicians the same precise control over their sound during a live performance as they had in a controlled recording environment. (List price $1,500.00)
TASCAM ran its first full-page advertisement in November's issue of Rolling Stone Magazine. The advertising message targeted small studio business owners.
This unit is in great shape. Good amount of overhead, solidly built, individually framed channel strips, nice mic pre-amp, 2 band selectable EQ, and an analog board. All ins and outs are RCA's except the mic inputs, which are XLR.
One of the true classics. The very first serious semi-pro mixer that came out in the '70's as TEAC's answer to the budding trend of Home Studio.
Very heavy (around 65 lbs or so)
Super simple by todays standards, but this was the front runner of ALL of today's home studio mixers and still has incredible flexibility.
Perfect for the at home producer who wants to add that classic 70's analog sound to their mix.
