Description
Type: Vintage Preamp Model: RS61
Brand: EMI Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom


This is for an EMI RS61 preamplifier without a p.s.u., in excellent working condition. It is possibly the best and most rare microphone preamplifier ever made on earth. To the best of my knowledge no more than 30 units have been made.According to the Beatles Recording Book, RS61's were used at Abbey Road Studios until the 70's for the echo send and return signals and guitar processing. RS61's were also the over driven amplifiers for the "Revolution" guitar sound.  More information can be found by searching with keywords:
(recording the beatles RS106 pdf), and at the euroelectron blogspot.  Please visit my other items for the EMI RS106.  Comes with EMI balanced input output connectors.
