A big sounding Recording setup

It sounds big even on the tiny speaker of the Sony TC-D5.


Signal path:


Oberheim OB-XA for bass
Yamaha DX7ii for pads with Pleiades tuning
Gelosso crystal mic for female vocals
DX200? As drum machine


All connected to the FBT personal 1002 or 2002 electron tube PA with tape echo


One output of the PA is fed to 4 multiple full range loudspeakers on all corners of the room


Another output from the PA is fed to a 4031-B cinema engineering equalizer to cut treble


Then an RCA BA-6A is connected


And then the signal is passed on to the cassette recorder


So for example for the pads only the tape recorder receives many signals.


1 the direct of the DX7 through FBT


2 the delayed DX7 throughly the tape echo of FBT


3 the FBT DX7 sound fed to the room and (leakage) picked up by the vocal mic which feeds FBT (therefore the tape recorder too and all the other mentioned paths) in an endless acoustic negative feedback loop!
