This Collins 212A mixer is for sale in full working order following a full and sympathetic service.
This console has two line inputs with eight mic inputs usually designated A or B mix output, but it has been carefully modified with direct outs on each channel.
It has been modified to allow direct outputs on each mic preamplifier and will be sold with H Pads in case the buyer wishes to use the console as a 10×2 line level mixer. The H pads allow you to lower the mic level to the appropriate line level without losing any quality from the source.
