Fostex Model E-16 - Great Condition, works well and has been serviced and ready for recording use •FOSTEX E16
Pivotal in the project studio market was Fostex's next analogue 16-track, the E16. This machine caught the crest of the wave and many are still in use today. The gawky adolescent that was the B16 became a confident adult able to take on the big wide world, and an E16 in good condition would be a good buy now at around £1500 to £1800. You may have noticed that the names of Tascam and Fostex dominate in my select guide to analogue multitrack, and you might well ask what happened to all the other manufacturers in the audio industry. What became of their analogue multitracks? Well, several manufacturers, such as Soundcraft, Allen and Heath, Klark Teknik and quite a number of others, tried their hands at pro multitracks. Soundcraft did achieve some success, but I think that enough people recognised the difficulties involved and left the semi-pro market well alone. Fostex and Tascam, on the other hand, had immense experience in small-format budget multitrack, derived from their Portastudios and Multitrackers, and were able simply to scale everything up and build products which performed well and were very reliable. – Source : SOS Group -Please e/mail for Correct Postage costs - Pick up preferred - International buyers welomed
