Hi all-

I'm looking for information about Daniel Flickinger and the console he designed- specifically, both biographical information about the man himself and/or technical information relating to what makes this console so unique.
This Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Flickinger) is a good start, but I was hoping to get information that expands on it.

If anyone would be willing to share information about Flickinger and his console that they've come across, or could post useful links I may have missed (hopefully there are none and I've done my homework appropriately), I'd very much appreciate it.

Mods: if this post is misplaced, please move it. This topic didn't seem to fit nicely into any of the given categories.

So, of course right after I posted this, I found a great thread about Flickinger and his console (should've thought about adding his middle initial to my search sooner): http://recforums.prosoundweb.com/index. ... 418/0/0/0/

A very interesting read, with two fantastic musicians contributing.

I'm still looking for even more information if anyone here has it to contribute.

I think there was an article in Tape Op a year or two ago on Flickinger consoles.

I think the guy that runs Key Club studios has a Flickenger console. He builds Skibbe Red Stripe compressors and works (worked?) at Electrical (Albini's place). He was profiled in Tape Op a while ago.

He was planning on building/selling mic pres based on the Flickenger.

Here is alink to get you started in that direction

Anyone know anything about the Flickinger 351-1 Program Equalizer?
Can't find any info about them on the net.

This is a mic amp card from a Flickinger. UTC O-12 on input, A-20 (I think) on the out. I don't have any historical info, though.

What are the little black drops on that card?
And this is more of a general question, but I looked up the Skibbe link and it says that the Flickinger design is based on a "monolithe OP Amp". I've heard reference to mononlithic op amps before but am just wondering what the term means as opposed to a standard op amp.

The "black drops" are transistors. Same type that are in my console in the discrete follower stage....

Mike mIller at Westend recording studios in KC, MO, knows a buch about flickenger stuff. He made an 8 channel rack of flickenger EQ's and an 8 channel flickenger mic pre rack at his place. Totally sick stuff.

I just uploaded a pic of the 351-1 Program Equalizers:

I'm wondering if these are just cards pulled from a console and racked or if they are a completely different type of EQ.
