Here at Bally Studios we are having a massive clear out. Many of the bands that come to the studios with know that we are now unable to offer recordings, due to the fact that this would put us over the VAT threshold, and therefore we would have to add 17.5% to all of our prices, and we feel that this would be unfair on many of the bands that regularly rehearse at the studio. So now we have a mass of equipment, all in mint condition, which we are putting up for sale. So grab yourselves a bargain!! This list is currently being constructed, and more information is being put up every so often. Items For Sale are in RED All items are either in Mint or Excellent Condition. Call us on 020 8808 0472 or e mail us at info@ballystudios.co.uk if you would like to more to buy any item.

MX9000 Mixing Desk = £700 OVNO
***Specifications
further down*** I
bought this brand new in July 2005, and since then it was used for just 2
recording sessions, of 2 days each. Since
2005 I’ve been running a recording studio and rehearsal room complex in
North London called Bally Studios, but after a year of deciding what
direction to take the company in, I have decided to concentrate totally on
rehearsals, as we want to
stay under the VAT threshold, and to be honest, it’s a lot easier to run
the studio as a rehearsal room complex. Since
it was bought, it has been kept in a box, wrapped up in a soft curtain, so
it’s in pristine condition. On
the few times that I did use it, I was entremely pleased with it:
A very quiet operating level, a really usable EQ due to the 2
sweepable mid bands, really handy to have the meter bridge at the top,
which provides visual reassurance.
It is 8 buss, so great top use as a live mixer and as a studio
mixer. Due to it being in
line, has great potential for using it to do live gigs then using
alternative outputs to simultaneously record the gig. All in al, a great mixer Selling
for £1,149 on the following websites, and to be honest, when you look
around at a lot of other mixing consoles out there, that still respresents
great value for money. http://www.nusystems.co.uk/music/20726/Behringer+MX9000.htm This
item is sold without a guarantee, but in good faith.
In our four studio we have here we have 3 Behringer Pas, loads of
their desks, and we use their products extensively, and having dealt with
them personally and professionally, have found their customer service to
be excellent. Sometimes that
are small to mid delays while they replace your products, the longest
I’ve ever waited was 3 weeks, but even this was as I didn’t have a
receipt and they needed to check the product over, but even then it was a
happy ending. Our rooms get
used by at least 10 bands a week, each, so reliability is extremely
important to us. Any
other questions, please contact us, details are on the website ***Specifications*** Behringer
MX9000
Product
ID: 1936 Why
is the new MX9000 so quiet you only "feel" it when you mix?
Because music is our major passion and sound design is the biggest
technical and creative challenge for you and us. Your mixing console is at
the heart of your music. On one hand, it has to be rugged and reliable,
accurate and soulful on the other. At its worst, it could ruin your sound
and distort all the carefully created parts of your recording instead of
faithfully reproducing the essence of your music. That's why they've
equipped the Eurodesk with what they think is the most musical and
transparent audio possible, plus all the flexibility you need. Behringer
is proud to introduce its new line of mixing consoles that combine
high-quality components, state-of-the-art manufacturing, and ISO9000
quality management.
The
Ultra-Quiet and Acoustically Transparent Console from Behringer
Behringer
uses ultra-low impedance circuitry throughout our consoles, reducing noise
to a physical minimum. By adding outstanding 4580 operational amplifiers
to the design, they've achieved an incredible level of silent performance.
Compare the Eurodesk with any other console on the market. Let your ears
be the judge! Each
channel in the Eurodesk is equipped with Behringer's new discrete mic
preamp that uses conjugate pair transistors running in high-current mode
instead of standard ICs. How does it sound? Absolutely natural, with
virtually immeasurable distortion and lots of headroom. What comes out is
what goes in. They only add gain, no signal coloration. That's why you
can't hear the preamp. Equipped with a Mic/Line switch and phantom
powering, your choice of inputs also includes professional, gold-plated
XLR connectors. This is one of the details that you asked for. The
inspiration required to produce your finest mix is the same kind of
inspiration that created the Dual Input 48/24 Eurodesk MX9000. Because the
concept behind its design came from you, the sound engineer, the most
important part of our Behringer engineering team. Suggestions from many of
our friends and some of the world's leading engineers have shaped and
moulded the Behringer Eurodesk. You wanted it to define your creative
ideas with every feature you suggested. And they wanted to improve what
you heard with high-quality components, leaving you free to concentrate on
your creative ideas. A
lot of manufacturers talk about quality. Behringer doesn't just talk about
it, they make it happen. One look at their popular signal processors and
you'll know: fibreglass circuit boards; sealed rotary pots; gold-plated
connectors; true logarithmic Panasonic faders; carefully selected
components; and a rock solid metal chassis have made Behringer one of the
leading manufacturers in the industry who inspires the kind of confidence
you deserve to have in your equipment. A
mixer has hundreds of pots, countless connectors, and limitless routing
possibilities. If you were given the option of choosing your own mixer
from a production line, you'd probably spend a long time pressing every
switch and turning every pot. Some manufacturers try to save money by
doing quick, cursory tests, leaving the real testing to the end user. We
don't. Each Eurodesk runs through a fully automated 2-hour test procedure
where every pot and switch is tested three times within different routing
configurations. Every signal path is tested against every other signal
path, every connector against every other connector. This kind of testing
is what produces a very high level of quality control. After that, every
console gets a signed quality check report. You can rely on working with
the Eurodesk MX9000 around the clock. Each
channel on the Eurodesk uses a mic preamp based on a modern version of
classic technology using large, sophisticated transistors rather than ICs.
A +48 V phantom powering is switchable in groups of 8 channels. The inputs
include high-quality gold-plated XLR connectors. The Mic/Line switch
routes either the servo-balanced mic input or the balanced line level
input to the gain circuit. Apart from mic and line, there is a third input
per channel, called MixB input/tape return. Although primarily designed
for tape return monitoring from multi-track, this input is also suitable
for use with any line level source, such as one from a MIDI keyboard,
sampler, or drum machine. A Flip control switches the main channel's
signal source from mic/line to tape, while simultaneously changing the Mix
B's external source from tape input to mic/line. The
4-band Constant Q equalizer is always assigned to the main channel. A
healthy 15 dB of boost and cut is available on all bands. Two semi
parametric bands offer an amazingly wide combined sweep range from 50Hz to
20 kHz. Two shelving frequency controls at 12 kHz and 80 Hz offer gentle
contouring. There's also a switchable low cut filter you can use to
eliminate unwanted subsonic like stage rumble and mic handling
"thumps," or to tighten up the bottom end of your mix. Of
course, the EQ section is switchable in and out for easy A/B comparisons. The
Aux sends are switchable pre and post fader in banks of two: pre fader is
for a cue feed and post fader is for sending to reverb or other time-based
effects. Dedicated pots are used for aux sends 1 & 2. The Shift switch
determines whether buses 3 & 4 or 5 & 6 are assigned to the 3rd
and 4th aux send controls. Depressing the Source switch will disconnect
buses 3, 4, 5, and 6 from the main channel signal path and assign them to
the B channel instead. On
many inline design consoles, the tape returns don't feature a separate EQ
section. The MX9000's Mix B channels include 2 shelving frequency controls
at 12 kHz and 80 Hz that provide 15 dB of boost and cut. You can use these
channels as a complete set of 24 additional inputs and the main channel's
equalization is never affected. Every Mix B channel has its own Pan and
Level control and, more importantly, Mute controls. Mutes are essential
tools in modern mixing and we feel that their inclusion greatly enhances
the flexibility and functionality of your secondary channels. The Mix B
Source control is also a major plus. When you enable it, it routes the
main channel's signal post fader into the Mix B channel, converting an
input's Mix B section to an additional stereo post fader aux send. Mix B
channels always feed into a separate stereo bus, called Mix B-Bus, which
has its own Mix Level control. The Mix B-Bus can be accessed via its own
stereo output. In this mode, the Mix B channels combined with Mix B-Bus,
become a totally viable separate 24 input mixer, which can be routed into
the Main Mix via the Mix B Master section switch. Your
channel output level is ultimately determined by a 100 mm true logarithmic
taper channel fader, which is backed by ergonomically located and
illuminated Mute and Solo controls. The Pan control features a
sophisticated design, which ensures constant level and pinpoint accuracy
across the stereo field. Signal present (-20 dB) and Clip LEDs continually
monitor 3 test points within the channel. The console's internal 24 input
meter bridge is switchable between channel and tape inputs. The
multi-segment peak LED meters respond instantly to transients in the
program material and their readings are totally independent of frequency.
So the Eurodesk keeps you fully aware of your signal status. Fostex E16 Multi Track Recorder = £600 OVNO The
vast majority of people reading this will know what great little machines
these Fostex e16’s are. Used
by myself only 4 times, twice for recording and mixing and twice for
Mixing, it performed excellently all the times.
It hasn’t been cleaned now in about 16 months, and I dare say it
could do with a good cleaning, demagnetising, etc. The very last session I
had on this machine went smoothly, and produced great results. If anyone
wanting to buy this tape machine would like to listen to actual songs that
I recorded on this machine, please get in contact and I can provide you
with this. Collection
only due to it’s considerable size. We accept cash or cheque for it.
If anyone wants to come to the studio to check out the item, this
can be arranged but it must be based around bookings that we have at the
studio. We are one of the
most reputable studios in London, having been based here since 1989, from
1989 – 2005 as Sync City, then when me and my partner started to manage
it, from 2005-2007 as Bally Studios.
Past clients of our include Coldplay, Snow Patrol, The Kinks, Afro
Celt Soundsystem, Bernard Butler, BBC, Sky, Channel 4,and loads more and
we operate 7 days a week at our location. This
item is sold without a guarantee, but in good faith. If
anyone is looking for a good place to get this tape machine serviced, I
would be more than happy to recommend some to you.
