Helios Type 69 Pair of Preamps with Lustraphone transformersRacked by Josh Florian of JCF AudioSale is for the two Helios Type 69 preamps and their custom built rack housing and power.The ultra-rare Lustraphone version of Helios preamps are the truest of the Helios sound hand built and designed by Dick Swettenham who founded the Helios electronics company for Chris Blackwell of Island Records to build custom desks for Olympic Studios and for example to send to Jamaica for his recording artist Bob Marley and The Wailers to cut records on.There is no comparison to the original Helios sound and re-issues simply are not able to fully re-create the tone, not least of all because of the rarity of Lustraphone transformers which stopped production in the 60s.More Helios history is available online which shows the little known widespread use of Helios on many of the most classic records made from Hendrix to the Stones to Bob Marley and on.This pair have been carefully owned and maintained in a private studio and have an exceptional history.Fully tested and ready for use they are not only an extremely rare piece of music history but are the most musical of eqs to track and mix with. Unlike Neve, only 50 Helios consoles were built and of the 50 only a handful were equipped with Lustraphones.Local pickup in Los Angeles. Shipping can be organized if necessary at buyers expense.
