FS: Vintage Quantum 20 Channel Console RARE (updated w/Pics)

Post by moogplayer » Tue Dec 05, 2006 11:16 am

vintage mid 70s Quantum console. Rare factory joined together QM-128 + QM-8EX expander. Sounds incredible

20 inputs (mic and line)
8 buss via XLR
direct out mods (via RCAs)
1/4" TRS insert mods on busses
6 way EQ each channel
big reichenbach transformers on every channel

all channels are working, will need minor cleaning if you will be doing crucial mixing with it. Also 2 VU lights burnt out (meters themselves work great)

This console worked fine hooked up to a Digi 001 for our last CD. Excellent front end. Rivals the big boys - beefy iron sound

considering offers

I have been a longtime tape-opper with good credentials. I accept paypal

pickup in San Diego

Moogplaya!

You getting rid of your Quantum? :( Is your new Decibelab board that much better?
Say it isn't so! I just picked up my Quantum QM-168 with patchbay and outboard monitor mixer!

BTW, those VU lights are probably T1-3/4 midget flange base #334 types:

I should know, I just replaced 16 of them when I recapped and rechipped my Quantum! :shock:

no the Decibelab is a different animal, although soundwise they're fairly close. I would say the Quantum is a little more open sounding, especially in the EQ. The Decibelab has that stuffy 70s sound that I wanted

3 synares (the bigger PS-2 isn't pictured - heehee)

Peeps,

This is a nice board! I have the QM-168 (older, 16 channel version of moogplayers). These Quantums are killer/sleeper consoles. They have Jensen input trannies on each channel. Airy sounding HF EQ. Moog's board has more modern chips.

Someone will be laying down some sweet tracks with this. :)

quantum board

Post by Superdan138 » Wed Dec 13, 2006 10:27 pm

I have an Allen and Heath System 8, 16 ch board and I was just wondering how this compares to mine? Im really into a board with character that adds some color to the track, let me know.

PS: I live in San Diego btw.

I would say that you're comparing apples and oranges between the two, although given the electronics (i.e. beefy transformers) the Quantum is a step up in sound. More depth and definitely more open sound. The Quantum cost much much more when new...
