The Studer Legend - the history of our tape machines

[JULIAN8845]

Revox are toys.BBC Never ever broadcast from a Revox.Never ever had to replace a mains transformer that had gone down on a STUDER pity you cant say the same for a B77 PR99.

Like DR STUDER SAID THEY WERE BUILT TO A PRICE.

Thanks for sharing this great video. I now feel that I should collect Studer in addition to AEG ! Great Studer machines all the way. I personally record live broadcasts on my PR99 and the sound is already greay especially with a high end tuner. Thanks to Dr Studer for all the great moments he brought us. I wish I met him...

Quality of Revox brand are so high, that in fact most of A77and B77 machines have been in use, not at home, but as pro in radio stations and some mid budget recording studios.

The main drawback of these machines are the unbalanced inputs and outputs, but this could be irrelevant in most cases.

PR99 instead were machines more specifically designed and built for professional use with transformer balanced in/outs and as option, could be mounted in a dedicated trolley console for convenient use.

An A816 model was omitted, which was actually a pretty nice machine as well, i guess not so common as A80's of the world but nevertheless, worth mentioning.

why did we ditch quality like this? you don't see quality like this in any market anymore.

we need to learn from this wonderful company and start making all of our products to last. If i buy something and it breaks i want to be able to fix it not buy another one!

Very interesting video. I like tape-recorders. I have a Revox B36 mono in good condition and A77 also very fine state. Of course, they are no Studer machines but also made by Willy Studer. Thanks for sharing.

@legOldtimer

Revox is a trade mark from Dr. Willi Studer and that's why every Revox product can be considered a true Studer.

In addition it can be said that most of essential components in a Revox tape recorder such as heads, capstan and spooling motors, mains transformer... and many other parts are in fact Studer branded.

Difference between Revox and Studer are mainly based on the market group wich machines were aimed to.

Studer for professional use and Revox for high quality HI-FI users.

God those machines were sexy! Today's digital boxes are so uninspired :-(

[1973Drummer]

This is sad. I can't believe they don't make them anymore. At least the ones that they made will last forever.

what a stud er

Excellent video documenting brilliant reel-to-reel icons. Truly, a pity that Studer, for all intents and purposes, no longer enjoys analogue reel support from its parent company - Harman. I'm proud to own a Studer deck!
