Altec 1591 A Compressor (and mic preamp) for sale.
Simple to use opto-compressor with wonderful tone. Mic and Line inputs summed to mono output. Around 90dB of gain!
A chance to pick one of these up that has been gone through here by our head tech “Dr” Huw who has many year’s experience with these and knows how they should sound. Supplied with our standard 3 months warranty.
This came to us modified as detailed below, however none of this affects the sound – in fact it sounds much better after a recap and proper set up, plus as an added bonus it is also now safe (it was very dangerous when it arrived…).
MOD DETAILS:
In very good cosmetic condition with usual signs of age and wear. One knob is missing the cap. Please see photos or get in touch if you require more information on condition.
120v model. For UK/EU buyers it will be supplied with a high quality voltage transformer.
For sales in UK the price will include 20% VAT. Buyers elsewhere may incur VAT or other local taxes on import.
We can't stop here, this is bat country! Our next auction (November 22nd) features some head-turning, show-stopping synths, however we also wanted to put the spotlight...
