Phil O'Keefe Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Yes, we sure have come a long way in terms of the sophistication of our live sound equipment since then. And yet those old Altec 1567A's are still prized - not so much for live mixing, but for the sound they can impart in a recording situation.

Yes, but the features were VERY limited for their size, creating operational challenges as systems got more comprehensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
