Launched in the summer of 1958 as a portable broadcast, recording or sound reinforcement mixer, the Altec 1567A has served a long — and occasionally famous —career that continues to this day.
Essentially the 1567A is a five-input (four mic inputs, one line input) mixer with a main and a recording out in a compact, 3-rackspace chassis.
With its ease of use, rugged build and great sound, the 1567A quickly found its niche. Several racks of 1567A’s were employed by the audio crew recording the sound for The Beatles’ August 15, 1965 performance for record-breaking crowd of 55,000 fans at Shea Stadium in Queens,
Years later, with the tube audio resurgence, the 1567A was re-discovered, and bands such as Maroon 5 and the Black Keys (among countless others) were making the 1567A part of their studio vocal sound.
4 X VERY special captures are included that you will enjoy using on your mixes for years and years to come.
