Texar Audio Prisms Refurbished by Dennisvb

[NightAire]

Wow... impressed with how well they handle today's squashed audio... that's a heckova competitive sound! I'd also forgotten the signature high-frequency sound of a Gentner... it makes this stuff sound pretty darn good! Thanks for sharing this demo.

@NightAire Ur welcome.. I do prefer the older Texar units. The originals although they share the same design, they are quite different in sound Genter used different capacitors in timing, filter and x-over

I worked in a station in Maryland that had a pair of the Prisms in the studio. When I was on the air, I'd love to dim the lights down and watch the LED's. Always thought they were way cool. I believe they are still using them, and if they are, that would be 21 years of continual service.

Ik wil weer met jou speelgoed spelen!

It was an excellent box until Gentner screwed it up.

@BudWiser999

I agree half...

[fakeradioNL]

@BudWiser999 not all true. Gentners builded them better. the PCB' s were better, power supply's more stable, but they had a different sound. Gentner used cheaper capacitors in the filter designs..

I just picked up an 8100A/1 - it has the RCF-1 card in it so now I am hunting for the Prisms that were driving it! It's great to see how many people still love the analog sound of these units.

[gbowne1]

yeah, I'd love to have at least one orban 8100 and prism. I just got some AM & FM belar stuff.

[fakeradioNL]

@gbowne1 nice!! belar is leading and Legend!!

I first installed a pair of these in 1992! Now I'm trying to find a decent second hand pair. Love the TRUE analog sound, and those LEDs - well, what can I say except "EPIC COOL".

@nzmedic

Thank you very much. Indeed they are cooool.

[JavaJoelRadio]

Nothing beats the warm thump of The Prisms. Very well done. I'd add a thick dusting of long- trail reverb and perhaps some more thump/clipping.

[fakeradioNL]

@JavaJoelRadio

thanks for the comment. I'm trying to keep them alive overhere in NL/europe as best as possible

Nice work... I was never a big fan of Texar/Gentner prisms but you have those sounding very nice indeed. :) JC

[brett54545]

This is fantastic. There are just some things a DSP can not imitate!
