The Station Recording Co. is proud to be taking delivery this month of a brand new Toft ATB 24 analog console, created by the original designer of the legendary Trident consoles Malcolm Toft. Trident consoles (along with Neve, API, and Quad Eight) were ubiquitous in top studios around the world from the 1970′s on. The ATB console features 24 channel strips, 8 mix busses, 6 aux sends and 24 channels of 80 series EQ, one of the most musical sounding EQ’s ever. This console, combined with our API 3124 preamps, 2500 stereo compressor and 5500 EQ, Vintech 273 (Neve 1073 clone), and A-Designs (Quad Eight) preamps, puts the sound of classic recordings at our fingertips. Read more about the Toft ATB 24 here:

A League Of Its Own.
Over the years, the Trident Series 80 console has heard its praises time and time again for its excellent quality, pristine accuracy, and most of all, its premium vintage equalizer. This powerful combination produced an enormous amount of hit records and is still revered as one of the best analog recording consoles made to date. With so much history behind the Trident name, Toft Audio Designs is proud to announce that the Series 80 boards have been redesigned by the original designer himself, Malcolm Toft. The end result is none other than the new Toft ATB Series Consoles.

Best EQ Money Can Buy.
The Toft ATB Console packs the same powerful equalizer that was used on the Trident Series 80 boards. The ATB’s EQ section is regarded as one of the best sounding Equalizers on the market today! The super musical four-band EQ on the Toft ATB unleashes all your creativity without any limits or boundaries. The Toft ATB equalizer is your ultimate tool in your arsenal.
