In 1972, Trident Studios decided to purchase an unused recording device and decided to build one themselves. Trident Studios decided to focus in building the A-Range 2 channel rack. Consequently, they focused in developing it. They built it by hand according to the measurements established by Trident. These was before the coordinate circuit (or ‘chip’) days. Consequently, all circuits used individual transistors (known these days as a ‘discrete’ design).
A-Range 2 Channel Rack. The Icon
This, and the use of inductors within the lower and upper mid equalizer areas are said to account for much of the one of a kind sound of the A-Range. From there, Trident Sound Advancements Ltd was born, until it became a driving producer of music recording media. One of the company’s most punctual publicizing mottos was ‘designed by recording engineers for recording engineers’. This got to be a key component of what made the ‘Trident Sound’ special.
The 2-channel A-Range rack unit is a correct reproduction of the initial all-discrete transistor circuitry and reliably takes after the initial console’s plan. So much so that it has taken three a long time of circuit examination and testing by PMI Sound Bunch who embraced the mammoth assignment of reproducing the circuitry. Trident Sound Advancements and PMI Sound are greatly satisfied and glad to offer this special piece of recording history. As it were thirteen A-Range comforts were ever built and a number are still in utilizing nowadays in spite of being about forty a long time ancient.
More things!
This speaks volumes about the legacy of the A-Range 2 Channel Rack. Many famous musicians have used them. These including Elton John, Dire Straits, David Bowie, Rod Stewart, and Stevie Wonder, just to name a few. Trident were arguably sitting at the top of the UK recording workplaces during the glittering decade of turmoil. Trident’s plans have certainly made a permanent impact on the sound of record making that’s about incomprehensible to gauge.
The work areas made for Trident Studios, and other studios blessed sufficient to procure them, were amazing in breakthrough adaptability and tremendous sound. Amid this time period, each record made on a Trident work area was extraordinarily and very emphatically changed by the sonic engrave of their unmistakable plans.
