Sunn Coliseum Audio Controller 1971 - THE WHO MIXER - Ultra Rare!!

Rare Vintage SUNN Coliseum Audio Controller - Pete Townsend Studio.

Designed by Bob Heil, built by Sunn, exclusively for THE WHO in 1972.

Hands down one of the most rare vintage mixers you will ever find! 10 channels, EQ on every preamp plus inductor EQs on the main outputs, factory direct outs of every channel, built-in Sunn power amps to drive a PA system, headphones, effects, all the mojo you can imagine. Incredibly versatile and sexy machine. It’s got everything needed for a modern studio sidecar, or could easily be the centerpiece of your studio.

Immaculate condition all around. Everything works as it should. I am the third owner. Always kept in studio, never gigged. This machine sold for $4000+ in 1972… that’s over $31,000 today adjusted for inflation. Serious tech in this console!

I spoke with Dr. Bob Heil about this board and he confirmed he designed and built this to the specs requested by The Who for their live shows. True legendary pedigree.

Local Brooklyn pickup preferred.
Will arrange shipping at buyers expense. Listing as free for pickup, if you need it shipped I am happy to work with any freight or courier company.

Details:

Powers up, meters and lights working. Some bulbs need replacing. Passes clean audio. Vibe up guitars/bass etc using the preamp direct outs, or use as a summing mixer for drums etc.
