47 on everything.....but of course! I'm thinking that the B's would've used a 47 for the drum overhead if they weren't so concerned about SPL regulations.....
Btw, Terry, what kind of EMI channel strips, and how much use do they get - how would you describe the sound?

47 into 1176 - doesn't work on what?

Hi Andy,
By the way, what was the mic that one sees hanging over Ringo's kit in the photographs?
My EMI channel strip is a two channel "Mic Cassette Mk III," model number "TG 12345/622A, EMI Ltd., England." The features are:
Bass EQ (no freq specified, non changeable) +/- 10 in 2 dB steps
Presence EQ @ .5, .8, 1.2, 1.8, 2.8, 4.2, 6.5, or 10k, +/- 10 in 2 dB steps
Pan (stepped)
Echo send
2 Cue sends
Comp OR Lim on each, w/settable "Hold" and "Recovery."
The faders are what I call the "Over the hill to grandmother's house we go" ones you see in the photos.
Once when I had it open, I found a hair inside the fader box. Of course, it was obvious to me that this was John Lennon's hair, which had fallen into the faders as he listened to a playback of the vocal overdub of "Strawberry Fields." So I put the hair into an envelope, and have it somewhere.
The sound of these to me is somewhat reminiscent of a Neve 1081...not really warm, but very strong and a little "grainy." I really do love the sound of this box, and have used it a lot as mic pre's, and even line-in on the stereo mix buss at times. There is an undefinable apparent loudness/presence boost when things go through it...or at least I imagine there is!
47 into an 1176 not working on what? Sorry I don't quite understand. I may have said that the acoustic guitar sound in question is available from 176, but not from 1176...?
Thanks,
Terry
