Description
Helios Professional Audio was set up by Dick Swettenham for the creation of new Helios products while continuing to produce the older models which had made his reputation. Dick made his mark as an audio engineer in the 1960s when he was working at Olympic Studios in London where he created the world's first transistorised console. The Olympic desks became well regarded and in 1969 Dick founded the original Helios Electronics Limited company that built equipment for a number of well-known organizations and musicians

Just been using a Neve 1073 pair recently, I find, like on my Helios eq that boost seems to be the thing I go for instictivly..

I have heard that the same goes for the API range, twist in a boost and BAFF! Cool kick, snare & gtr sounds

Using a Foucusrite 215 however, leads me to cut frequencies.. (vocal 'honk' kick 'crok')

Why is this?

Helios 760
