Ramsa WR-8112 circa analog mixer mixing board small format console circa 1980 vintage AS-IS

Panasonic-made Ramsa 12:4:2 with 1 aux  full stereo submix and lots of ins and outs (including submix ins to all buses and direct outs on very channel) with impedances clearly marked! Originally in Robert Hazard's home studio in the 80s. Little brother of Ramsa used by Jack Endino on Nirvana's bleach. Very good summing/hybrid mix board for your DAW. Look it up. These boards are reputed to be low headroom but they are only poor in that regard if you don't know analog gain staging. Sub busses can get vibey due to opamp seletion, push them, get nice saturation on drum transients. Very workable 3 band EQ. Shelves at 80/160 and 6k/12k with sweepable mid. midrange is 400 to 6k but can eb modified to reach down to 100 if you open the board up for service, which brings us to known issues...

Board was functioning well until recently. For the last 2 weeks channel 2 is always distorted and channel 10 has gone intermittent. I suspect the gain pots (2 open and 10 grounding out) but don't wish to open her up as she is non-modular and I don't have space to dissect the whole board with a 7 year old running around..... and I have a soundcraft 400b in good shape anyway that I like as much.

This board is a great donor for a big brother or a great project.... at the moment its a functioning 10:4:2 as well. Highly underrated sound, in the yamaha PM1000 camp, just no transformers, the trade is more useful EQ.

I would prefer local pickup around philly. I can meet you part way somewhere within reason on a weekend. For shipping the thing weighs 45lbs unpacked. I will pack it extremely well but you will pay actual costs. Continental US only. As-is, no returns. The board needs service, okay?

Any reasonable offer will be entertained. Try me. I need space in my home studio. Its leaning on my 62 ac30 right now. I just want it to find a new home even if that's a 2nd life as an organ donor. Feel free to contact me.

CHEERS!
