Hi, Ray:

The decision to replace the original Beyer mic trannies with the Jensens in the Ampex MX-10 was based on the recommendation of another recording person I knew years ago and this guy happened to be a stellar talent in his own right.

I used the Ampex MX-10 for a while to record mostly orchestral material and at that time, I used both non-phantom-powered microphones, specifically a pair of Nakamichi CM-700's, or otherwise was hooking up my Milab VIP-50 multi-pattern large diaphragm condensers with an outboarded phantom box made by AKG.

The signal was sent to a ReVox A-77 open reel machine and later on, a DAT recorder.

The results were excellent, but as time went on, I required much more flexibility, including pan pot functionality and more.

I would never sell that Ampex mixer, however, since I did put quite a lot of my own time into the unit trying to improve it.

I also kept the Beyer trannies that were once in it for other projects, which never quite materialized over the years!

Thanks
