Here we present a rare and fully restored vintage Soviet military mixing console PMU-80, fresh from a comprehensive overhaul and servicing. This unique piece of audio history was originally designed and manufactured specifically for the Armed Forces of the USSR, meaning it was built with the utmost precision and military-grade components. These components were rigorously selected during production and were of a far higher quality than those used in typical consumer electronics, ensuring unmatched durability and performance. The PMU-80 was part of several military radio broadcasting systems, including the legendary "GONG" setup, which famously featured a mythical tape reverb unit.
This console has undergone a full professional overhaul, including a complete cleaning, replacement of old capacitors, authentic Soviet component repairs, lubrication of faders and potentiometers, and a modern upgrade—the outdated Soviet DIN5 connectors have been replaced with 1/4" jack inputs for ease of integration into modern setups. It’s now ready for use in any studio environment, bringing a touch of vintage Soviet engineering to your recordings.
With 6 inputs (2 mixing cells with 3 inputs each), 2 outputs, and a dedicated reverb send, this mixer offers both versatility and flexibility. The built-in equalizer in each mixing cell gives you full control over high and low frequencies, while the pan knobs and volume faders allow for precise adjustments. A switchable line/microphone mode makes it easy to adapt to different inputs, while the analog circuitry ensures a warm, saturated sound that adds undeniable character to any project.
Powered by 220V, the PMU-80 is a plug-and-play unit in most European and international setups. However, if you're in a region with 110V power, you'll need a step-up transformer (not included) to fully enjoy the magic of this Soviet marvel.
This is more than just a mixer—it’s a piece of history that brings depth, richness, and undeniable analog warmth to your recordings. Whether you're a vintage gear enthusiast or a professional looking to add distinctive saturation to your sound, the PMU-80 will make a stunning and functional addition to your studio. Don’t miss out on this chance to own a piece of audio history!
