Studiomaster Trilogy 166

[Pete Littlewood]

Hi all
I was just wondering if any of you lovely lot have any comments on the
studiomaster trilogy 166 mixing desk, and where would be the place to get
hold of one. Let me know.

Cheers, Pete

I've use one for about five years. Nice enough, but it is having service
issues, things just keep going out.

Studiomaster Trilogy mixers were very nice economy mixers.

I have a used TR206 here -- 16 channel version. Make me an offer.

I installed it in a church (the proverbial "only used on Sunday", etc.) where
it functioned happily from @July of 1999 until February 1st, 2003 when I traded
it in on a new Allen & Heath GL2200-32 channel board -- they expanded their
program and relocated from their old church building to a new facility 3 miles
away. As part of a permanent install, it was not a road warrior item. It has
been in storage since then, although I think I probably used it for some of my
Bose rep demo work maybe 4 or 5 times.

I have had it checked out by a service shop that was Studiomaster authorized
(prior to their demise), had them replace 1 fader that has a little tentative,
and checked it out for me. As far as I know (other than being a little dusty)
it is in very good condition both electronically and cosmetically. There is
one little quirk that I noticed during one time out that had the pre-Send #1
signal bleeding some signal through onto the Send #2 output (or possibly vice
versa), but it may have also been something that the end user (in this case a
loan to another church for a weekend) had inadvertently done with the bleed
actually occuring via some other electronic tie in at a different point in the
signal chain. Since I wasn't there when it happened, I am only guessing. If
you're interested, I'll verify this. With a total of 6 sends available,
perhaps this won't be a problem to you either way. If you need all 6 instead
of just 5, it can always be repaired if it's a "for real" quirk -- and the shop
here would probably charge me $60 to take care of it.

Thanks Dave. Are you in the UK or elsewhere?

Pennsylvania -- USA. Probably too expensive to ship to you in the UK, not that
I wouldn't be willing to do it, but for a used item it might make the cost a
bit too high for you, all things considered. Sorry about that -- I didn't
notice the UK headers from your post before -- just the hotmail.com address.

That's no problem, dont worry!! I'm sure someone nearer home will take it
from you ;-). Keep posting.

Pete
