Hi everyone,

Yes, after 15 years of love and great sound, the way my life changes forces me to sell my beloved Series 12.

I bought it in 2004 in the UK, and have been using it with great joy since. It’s been loved and carefully taken care of along the years. All the channels have been recapped in 2013 and, with consulting by Harrison themselves, the power supply powering the channels rack was updated to a full set of linear PS (cost around 4000€ just in parts !) in replacement of the switching PS. Also, the two main summing op-amps on the master bus card have been updated to burson audio’s fully discrete op-amps, which further improved the console's already great sound.

It has 48 mono + 4 stereo channels (so 56 total), 8 aux sends, 24 mixing busses and 2 stereo master/program busses. Every channel has an expander/gate, a compressor, 4 bands full parametric EQ and a pair of filters. It also has 8 remote controlled mic preamps. I have the full documentation and schematics set, along with some spare cards and a spare MacIIVx + power supplies.

The remote control desk is of a quite reasonable size (less than 2 meters wide) considering it’s for a 56 channels console, so it’s easy to fit in a pretty small control room (but of course one needs room in a separate tech booth for the processing racks).

With its total recall and full automation analog mixing environment, it really is the perfect center for a real modern hybrid mixing system.

The console is located very close to Paris, France, in my personal mixing room (you can see a picture of it on my website’s homepage : http://www.maikol.fr) where I’ve mixed lots of music albums of a wide range of music styles (from pop to avant-garde jazz, from full acoustic to heavy amplified music). I’ve also attached a couple pictures of the remote control and PS's

I’m of course ready to provide more pictures of all the elements, and a full list of all this would include.

This being quite a special kind of consoles, and depending of how much the buyer will know about them, I’m also ready to include in the selling price some sort of help/consulting for the installation of the console.

If you're interested, let me know, and we can further discuss by email about system, price, and so on.

Cheers to everyone, hope you're all well !

Hi Paul !
Hope you're well.

I did sell my S12 in 2019, it went to Angers in France, to someone already having and using a S12 and planning to open a bigger studio with two S12 equipped control rooms. So it was quite an easy sell as I didn't have to explain much about the platform, but I did accept to sell it for cheap (10k€). It was a bit hard to let it go for a 1/4th of what I had paid, but then I did use it extensively for 15 years to mix hundreds of records, so it had probably paid itself by then.

Hope you find a buyer quickly and for a fair price !
