“I first compared it to an all-original 1073 in mint condition…I couldn't remember hearing such a beautiful, euphonic sound from the M 160 / 1073 combination. It was really amazing. My first thought was that it sounded so great that there was no way the 5012 could beat it. When I switched preamps, the resulting sound wasn't as good. When I reached to adjust the gain, I realized that I had patched the preamps opposite to each other, and I'd been listening to the 5012 first!”

In 2024, Dave Bayley (Glass Animals) invited us to his London studio to see his new console and have a chat. Enjoy.

Go ahead – try one.

“I’m doing a full live, no sequencers, one man band project, where I play 3 instruments simultaneously. Having physical knobs and faders for volume, EQs, comps, preamps and SILK lets me slowly dial in the mood of my mix as I practice. By the time I master playing all the parts simultaneously, the mix is mostly done.”

Come say hello and get your hands on some gear this Saturday in London.
