The centerpiece of our studio is a custom built 40 channel Trident 8t series console. It features the famous classic trident eq found on the Trident A Range and 80 series consoles used by many classic artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, David Bowie, Queen, and many others. An interesting fact about this console… This was the LAST Trident console ever made by John Oram (one of the founders of Trident in the early 70′s) before he left Trident in 2007 to start Oram Consulting, a high end audio company.
