I have a used Trident -65 that I got last year and I am just about to get a tech to look at it.

A few times it did something that concerned me and recently it has been doing this more often:

The EQ lights will go out with the green solo light in the center of the board dimly lit.

Hello!

In terms of sound, what are the major differences between Trident B series, Neve 1073 and Neve 1081 preamps?

Also, I think that 1081 doesn't have phantom power, am I right? What's the solution to this?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Everyone,

I might be inches now away from picking up a Trident-65.

Could anyone remind me of some things to look for or ask the owner that might have passed my thoughts?

Any pointers at all would be useful!

Thanks in advance!

Just wondering if anyone can tell me about this console? This is the 24x16. does that indicate that there are 16 XLR pres?

Thanks,

Hey Jay,

I want to thank you for turning me on to this board. Scott is asking 6k for the console and 1k for the patchbay.

I am going to check it out, probably in a few days. Scott sounds like a very nice man and he tells me that it has been checked recently and is looking very good.

I have a chance to pick up a couple trident series 70 channels strips, full strips but,.. Ill have to have them racked. cost will be around $400.00 for pair before racking. Good Deal or stay away.how much can I expect to spend for racking, any suggestions on some one who is good. thanks to all.

While everyone's in the mood talking about consoles, I am keen to hear some opinions about the above one. :w:

Do these stand up to neve/api pres and eq's? I can get a pair for a good price, but need to decide soon. I'm sure you guys have experience with them. what do you think?

I have the opportunity to purchase a Trident Series 16 (it has the modules from the 75 series). While I am not antpcipating replacing my control 24 with it, I am interested in the pres and eq's as front end going into a DAW. Does anyone have an opinion about this soncially or logistically?

Anyone know what the differences are in the 65, 70, and 80 series tridents? How would you classify their sound? I know how neves and api's sound, is it close to either of them? Also how are the eq's? Anyone think there might be something to gain by mixing thru one with good converters rather than mixdown in a daw?
