OTARI MX5050 (YOM: ?) (S#: 18001031) SEE DESCRIPTION

FEATURES: THIS MX5050 WAS SENT TO OTARI AND WAS RECONDITIONED AND TESTED. ALL THE RELAYS WERE REPLACED AND UPGRADED WITH NITROGEN FILLED RELAYS. AFTER WE GOT IT BACK, IT HAD ONE SMALL PROJECT RECORDED ON IT AND IT PERFORMED FLAWLESSLY. SADLY SOON AFTER THIS A MEMBER OF OUR GROUP WAS KILLED IN A PLANE CRASH AND WE NEVER USED IT AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN IN CLIMATE CONTROLLED STORAGE FOR SEVERAL YEARS SINCE THEN. IT WAS WORKING FLAWLESSLY BEFORE IT WAS STORED AWAY, I HAVE NO IDEA THE CONDITION NOW, BUT I ASSUME IT IS STILL FINE.

THE RECORDER IS STANDING VERTICAL WITH THE METERS/INPUT/OUTPUT SECTION ON TOP OF THE TRANSPORT IN THE PICTURES. THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE RACK MOUNTABLE PIECES. WHEN WE USED IT, THE METER/INPUT/OUTPUT SECTION WAS MOUNTED UPRIGHT AND THE TRANSPORT WAS MOUNTED FLAT (TABLE TOP STYLE) RIGHT UNDER IT, IN A ROLL AROUND CABINET. I DON'T REMEMBER WHY, BUT IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE CABINET AND WE NO LONGER HAVE IT.

EXTRAS: IT COMES WITH A WIRED REMOTE AND AND ALL THE CABLES TO HOOK IT UP. WE ALSO HAVE 8 CHANNELS OF DBX NOISE REDUCTION THAT WILL BE INCLUDED FREE!! THEY ARE IN THE PICTURE LAYING ON TOP OF THE OTARI.

MODIFICATIONS: OTARI UPGRADED RELAYS.

HISTORY: USED IN PRIVATE RECORDING STUDIO FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. VERY LOW HOURS WHILE WE OWNED IT, BUT IT WAS PURCHASED USED AND I DO NOT KNOW THE HOURS BEFORE THAT. THE HOURS AFTER OTARI REFURBISHED IT IS VERY, VERY FEW... ONE SMALL PROJECT.

COMMENTS: NO ISSUES THAT I AM AWARE OF.

THIS UNIT WAS NEVER TOURED
