Trident Series 65 Mixing Console
EBAY SELLER AUCTION DESCRIPTION
"Up for bidding is our Trident Series 65 console. It was built in 1986 and we have the original manual which is very helpful. The console was purchased by us in 2007 and remained in a smoke free environment in our studio on Music Row. We are selling because we no longer have that space and are selling all remaining equipment. The Trident comes with 32 channels, 8 aux send, 8 group insert sends and returns and 16 group outs, 16 tape returns and 4 echo returns. What makes this console unique is the custom front section that was added by us. Housed in solid wood, this addition contains a 3-way source select, 3-way monitor select (all military grade switches) along with a Gold Point passive attenuator. There is the keyboard with Kensington track ball mouse and X-Keys (58 programable keys for creating macros and navigational shortcuts. For the talkback function, we added an arcade style button and also a separate hold button. We used the 2 headphone jacks for monitoring the aux sends. The other two modifications that were done while in our possession were the grounding mod which entailed putting in a copper bar and grounding every channel individually and also added an additional power supply for future mods that we never got around to doing. The power supply is made by Acopian and was $1200. Whatever mods or opamps you may want to add to this console, you will have plenty of power to do so. We added a monitor arm to stand and are throwing this in with the console along with the 22 inch Samsung monitor that is shown in the picture.
Known Issues:
One channel out of the 32 is not passing audio purely and may be due to cap or opamp or possibly just a seating issue as this was something that just came up as we were checking everything over to sell it.
In order to implement our custom monitor piece, the channel solo function of all 32 channels has been bypassed
All the pots work but could just use some cleaner "
