The Chilton M10\/2 Mk6 was the final and most refined version of Chilton's celebrated Quiet Mixer series, a 10-input, 2-output portable console hand-built by Magnetic Tapes Ltd in Richmond and used by broadcasters, the BBC and countless studios through the 1970s. Discrete transistor circuitry, modular construction and transformer-balanced inputs give it a warm, musical, almost Neve-like character that engineers quietly obsess over. A wooden-framed desk that looks as good as it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiscrete British Tone:\u003c\/strong\u003e transistor circuitry and input transformers for that warm, musical, vintage console sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiet Mixer Pedigree:\u003c\/strong\u003e the series is famous for being exceptionally quiet, lovely on ribbon mics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModular Build:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-quality modular cards, transformer-balanced mic inputs and line channels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10 In, 2 Out:\u003c\/strong\u003e a compact stereo desk, or a characterful front-end and summing box for your DAW.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRare and Collectable:\u003c\/strong\u003e the last and best Mk6, seldom seen for sale.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAS USED BY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTony Banks of Genesis, who used a Chilton M10\/2 (Mk III) for his keyboards in the mid-to-late 1970s, including the 1977 Wind \u0026amp; Wuthering tour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe BBC and UK broadcasters, who ran Chilton desks through the 1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WORD:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineers on Gearspace rate the Chilton Quiet Mixer series as exceptionally quiet and beautiful sounding, with one reporting it beat several respected preamps in a shootout, including a Neve 9098, and calling it a gem. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gearspace.com\/board\/geekzone\/490859-chilton-m10-2-mk6.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRead the thread on Gearspace\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Chilton M10\/2 Mk6 (Magnetic Tapes Ltd, Richmond, UK)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 10-input, 2-output portable mixing console\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1970s, the latest model in the Chilton Quiet Mixer series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircuitry: discrete transistor stages with modular construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: transformer-balanced mic inputs plus line channels (modular cards)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEQ: two-band per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRouting: pan to stereo 2-bus, aux send, cue and talkback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: external power supply required (please confirm the PSU is included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: unbalanced; vintage operating levels suit a -10dBu converter input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: used\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chilton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49975604216047,"sku":null,"price":42000.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/5992\/9071\/files\/IMG_3614.jpg?v=1781692983","url":"https:\/\/innerpieces.art\/products\/chilton-m10-2-mk6-the-rare-discrete-british-console-they-call-a-working-mans-neve","provider":"Inner Pieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
