The sound, by today’s standards, is colored and gritty, with a heaping helping of good old fashioned hardware noise. In its day, it was used on many early Motown hits, and found its way into the PA racks of countless churches and school auditoriums across the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unmistakable green-faced Altec gear, and in particular the 1566A and 1567A, played a big part in shaping the early “sound” of Motown between 1961 to 1964. Songs by greats like The Four Tops, The Marvelettes and The Supremes went through a 1567A mixer to the massive three track recorder. Ahhh, when life was simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese mic preamps and mixers have a very colored warm sound and are very loud. The EQ is as simple as it gets, with one knob for bass, and another for treble. After Motown, and after much gear came and went, analog diehards began seeking out the 1566A and 1567A as inexpensive sources for real tube sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMotown Records Chief Enginner, Russ Terrana used the 1567A extensively and it became part of the distinctive Motown sound. Producer Matt Wallace was a very big fan. Butch Vig and Billy Bush are also fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRadiator brings the classic Altec tube sound to desktop recording rigs, capturing the distinctive warmth and punch of the original hardware. Featuring the modeled bass and treble tone controls from the original unit, a mix control for easy parallel processing, and the saturation and harmonic effects of the original hardware’s input and output amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soundtoys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42022149980238,"sku":"DDJ4553","price":88.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/4195\/6430\/files\/soundtoys-radiator-main.jpg?v=1758886077","url":"https:\/\/www.thediscdjstore.com\/products\/soundtoys-radiator","provider":"The Disc DJ Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
