Iain, did you actually even read the question?

Yes. Apologies. I am currently doing a project
on a Studer desk that has phantom on only 12
of the sixteen inputs. Modifying, or making additions
to, the Studer mic modules was not an option, so
we bought 2 of the Thomann phantom supplies.
I thought you had a similar situation.

Interesting. Don't think I've ever seen a mixer with only some of
the
mic amps having phantom. It's not as if it would save much cost in
production.

No. It would not have saved anything.
But it was ordered like that, as a custom console, by NDR.
It has some very interestiing and useful features
such as group correlation which are not often seen.

What do you mean by 'group correlation' in practice?


One can assign two or more channels, panned as required
across up to twelve sub-groups. Each subgroup has a
correlation meter similar to this one from an SSL
console.

Ah - thanks. 12 sub groups on what is effectively a 12 channel mixer?

No. It's sixteen into 24. Don't confuse channels with groups.

Did Elliot Sound really make the meters for SSL?

It's an ESB badged generic meter, made by Sifam,
and available from Canford.

The Studer meter has no logo, and is slightly more elegant
probably RTW

Was this perhaps custom made for radio? They do tend to have dedicated
faders for things like play in machines. To keep things simple for some
DJs.

:-) LOL the Studer 980 is hardly a radio DJ console.
And play-in faders usually have auto start. These do not.

The full-frame model is probably the best large format
analogue music recording console Studer ever made. Its
precedessor the 900 was the biggest selling professional
console worldwide. Like the Neve 55, they are very highly
sought-after these days.
