Thread: have anyone heard about Quantum audio labs mixer?

Quantum Audio Labs are from the 70's. Their mixers (mainly 4-buss configurations) were marketed to compete with Tascam's gear for the "semi-pro" studio. I recall that they were modular (at least the one I saw was), and competed with the early Tascams and Sound Workshop (pre-Otari) mixers. Decent quality, although devoid of many of the "bells and whistles" of modern IC-based mixers. Big meters, though!
You may have a problem getting it repaired. If it is totally dead, this may be a power supply issue. Try to find an electronics repairman in your area who has worked on TV sets from the 70's. The better techs will have a tooth or two missing and nicotine-stained hands...Good luck!

actualy i have the mixer here, i could post some pictures, and yes it is a modular mixer, i have a verry good electronics technician specialized in audio, he repairs almost anything, but i need to find the schematics for at least the module couse with that this goy could know how to make it work as an individual module, and may be figure out how to make them work all...

or maybe rack them... the model i think is 164A or that's the only number i can find in it :roll:

Probably not worthy of racking up. There was nothing particularly special nor desirable about those mixers. You'd do better, instead of wasting your money with a technician and/or new power supplies & rack mounts, to purchase yourself a new low-cost preamp. Just because it was free doesn't make it worthy.

Great little bit of LA manufacturing history, Vince! BTW, I have an Xtramix that has served me well. Very nice "niche product"!!

Did you ever get your quantum up and running?
I have schematics if you still need them, let me know.
