RANDOM DUDES STUDIO SALE: Day: 510-748-2757, Night: 510-834-7709

We're selling the following stuff in order to make room for stuff more
suited to our needs:

	* 16 channel Yamaha mixer: $1000.00 (see the section "Yamaha
	  MR1642 Mixing Board" later in this post for more information).

	* Fender Rhodes Piano with Fender Rhodes Amplifier: $200.00.
	  The fuse holder is loose. Other than that, works great.

	* Peavey KB100 Keyboard Amplifier: $100.00. Like new. Has
	  woofer, tweeter, compression. Sounds good, but we run the
	  keyboards through the PA.

	* Sturdy Fiberglass Speaker Cabinet with Gauss Driver (I think
	  it's a Gauss): $75.00. I used this as an external speaker for my
	  Fender Twin. Nice bass sound. May make a good bass cab.

	* Pioneer RT-707 1/4 Track Reel-To-Reel: $100.00. Rack mount,
	  autoreverse, direct drive. Two speeds: 19 and 9.5. Mint
	  condition, but we use a four-track for song sketches.

Yamaha MR1642 Mixing Board:

I love this board, but it is more than we need. I had this big
idea that I was going to record the band in our studio, but this
has never happened. The board is in mint condition. I have the
manual and shipping box. I am the original owner. Other than one
gig, the board has not left the studio. I bought the board about two
years ago at Leo's Audio where I paid $1600.00 for it. What I really
need is a rack mountable Mackie type board that we can take to gigs.
More than a few times, we've shown up for a gig only to find that one
or two of the club's PA inputs were not working. I want control over 
this situation.

Yamaha's blurb:

"The MR1642 offers 16 input channels. The input channels can be
assigned to any of four group busses, and the group busses, in
turn, can be assigned to a master stereo buss. This combination
of group and stereo busses makes the MR1642 ideal for use in
recording and sound production applications as well as small
sound reinforcement jobs."

"The channel inputs are all electronically balanced, but will
also accept unbalanced signals - both XLR and TRS phone jack
connectors are provided for each input. The input channels
feature mic/line or tape input selection, a 20 db input pad and
input control that permit precise level matching with all types
of input source."

"The tape switch provided at the top of each input channel module
determines whether the input signal to that module is received
via the corresponding rear LO-Z or HI-Z input connector or the
TAPE input jack. When the switch is in the upper position, the
channel's LO-Z and HI-Z inputs are active, and when the switch is
in the lower position, the TAPE input jack is selected. Normally,
the rear-panel TAPE inputs will be connected to the outputs of a
multitrack tape recorder. The TAPE switches, therefore, allow
convenient routing of the recorder outputs to the console's input
channels for mixdown, without requiring you to disturb the LO-Z
and HI-Z inputs."

"Each channel offers a three-band equalizer with shelving low and
high bands, and a sweepable peaking mid-frequency band. An insert
patch point is provided immediately prior to the EQ stage."

"Three auxiliary send controls on each input module provide a
range of submixes for effects, monitoring, or other applications.
A selector assigns AUX 3 send to the pre-EQ channel signal or the
channel's tape input."

"Group assign switches assign the channel signal to groups 1 and
2 and/or 3 and 4, with panning capability between groups. The
four group modules include the three master AUX send controls
and dual AUX return level controls with assignment switches for
the four groups and the master stereo buss. Each group module
also has a pan control that pans the signal from that group
across the stereo buss."

"The left and right channel stereo modules include the monitor
assign switches and talkback facilities. All group and stereo
outputs offer both electronically balanced +4 dB outputs and
standard -10 dB RCA pin jacks outputs for compatibility with the
broadest possible range of equipment."
