In Reply to: RE: Altec A7 - are you sure they were used for mixing? posted by Bill Fitzmaurice on September 17, 2024 at 11:34:35:
Simple google search of photos and recording history sites, there were mixing consoles and near field setups in the 50 s and one of the vanguards had a 1947 date.
Multiple web sites focused on the recording equipment and the pioneers identify the development of that equipment with examples photos and in rare cases the actual equipment, with significant achievements in the late 40's through 50's and into the 60 s
I find no such photos or references of A7 used in that era for mastering, I find many that had A7 in the large orchestra recording rooms for playback.
I see 605,604 and even a Tannoy ( not certain a 50 s picture though )
Got any sources for A7 used in mastering in the 50/60 s?
