North Hollywood, CA — U.K. console manufacturer Amek recently introduced its newest music and post-production console, the Rembrandt. Already, the Rembrandt is making inroads at major recording studios in the U.S.
Amek U.S. today announced that the latest order is from Atlantic Records in New York. Atlantic is due to install their new Rembrandt next week. The console is already in service at Acme Recording in Chicago, and Sunrise in Houston. A fourth unit is due for installation soon at CFA Studios in Los Angeles.
The Rembrandt was introduced in July. It is available in 40- or 56-input frame sizes with onboard or external patchbay. It features a dual-path architecture providing 80 or 112 inputs for mixdown, each with identical four-band parametric EQ. In addition to 24 output buses, the Rembrandt offers 16 auxiliary sends and direct outs from each module. Mic preamp circuitry is similar to that on Amek’s Angela console and features discrete arrays of transistors.
Amek’s SuperTrue automation is an integral part of the Rembrandt. Now running on Pentium-based computer, SuperTrue provides real-time automation of VCA faders, mutes, and various channel switches. The automation system also allows various global console functions, such as Direct output mode, to be programmed by the user. Subprograms included with SuperTrue offer features such as recall, virtual dynamics, and visual effects.
U.S. pricing for the Rembrandt ranges from $114,352 for a 40-channel model to $146,895 for a 56-input board.
