Hawk HE-2250 5-Head/2-Channel Echo Unit

NOW BACK FROM SERVICE – This is quite simply a stunning 70s stereo tape echo. This is not just another Space Echo with some slightly tweaked features, but a genuine stereo machine with some unique abilities.

We’re big fans of much of the output from the Japanese producers of the Hawk (aka Mirano) gear but with this HE-2250 they definitely did something special. The only issue is that we can’t easily grab a quick demo that really shows what it can do because Instagram videos (where we put up our quick try-outs of new gear) are in mono. However, we have put one below to give some idea, and we’ve recorded some stereo audio-only demos it and if you want to hear them then get in touch.

We keep meaning to add some more information about these machines – the “mirage” and “reverse” functions could do with some explanation, but we never have them here long enough. Suffice to say this is a very well designed and built, unique, and superb-sounding piece of kit.

Condition is near mint – pretty remarkable for a unit from the 70s. 

For sales in UK/EU the price will include VAT. VAT-free sales are possible to businesses and individuals in the EU (outside the UK) with a valid VAT Number – please get in touch if you wish to buy this way.

• It is a 100v Japanese model and needs to be run at 100v only
• A step-down transformer is required for use on North American or European supplies..
• We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers – for 220/240v mains we can supply a high quality UK-made unit if required; for use on 120v supplies we recommend a converter like this.
