We collected a lot of experience with a variety of reel to reel decks from different manufacturers. That includes some rather basic units from Akai or Toshiba up to high end from ReVox (A77, B77, PR99) and Studer (B62, B67, …).
Expertise in ReVox and Studer
Especially with different ReVox and Studer decks we collected quite a bit of experience. For the ReVox A77 we can provide a number of modifications and upgrades:
- LED based VU Meter replacement
- OLED Graphics Displays as VU meters
- Digital Counter
- New CNC cut wooden case
- Abbey Road Mod
- Powdercoating of reel tables
Similar mods and upgrades are available for the B77 as well.
