Here’s another killer 4-track: The Audio-Technica RMX64

AT_RMX64_CupWe recently featured the 1986 AMR (aka Peavey) Series 1 four track; also in the running for ‘KING OF THE CASSETTE 4 TRACKS’ was the Audio-Technica RMX64, introduced in 1985.  Six input channels,  phantom power,  4 sub outs, 2 effect sends, 2-band sweepable EQ  (switchable from shelf to peak!)…  man I would love to find one of these.  Anyone?

Funny you should ask! I just picked one up today for $5! Yes $5 from my local rubbish dump re-cycle centre! It was a bit tatty and dirty and the mains lead had been cut off – not a good sign – but I checked out the fuse in the back and it was not blown. So I gave it a shot. For $5 I thought I got a part-out bargin but I put a new mains lead on it just for the hell of it and bingo it powered up! Further more every bit of it works! even the tape mechanism – I recorded with a mike and guitar and the sound was great! I used to have a Tascam cassette 4 track back in the day (before graduating to a Tascam A38) but this is a far superior machine. I will now give it a complete overhaul/cleanup and use it in my music room for recording rough demos.

I picked one up at Goodwill last week. Tape deck needed about ten minutes of love and she’s goodto go. Price tag $25.00. Next day got a 65 watt crate amp, it was dusty $15.00 for that.

I just got ahold of one of these old gems and it is in perfect condition . One light bulb is out on one of the meters and that’s it !! I am looking for a buyer . If anyone is interested , please shoot me an e mail . This is old school recording at its finest !!

very long shot, but you don’t still have this for sale do you? would love to find one. email me please!

I have one for sell in great condition, It’s the only one on reverb, just send me your offers if interested.

I have one I need to sell by month end when I move. It’s super heavy. Albany NY area. $100 plus the cost to package ship and insure. No idea what that would be.

If anyone has one for parts I need one plastic fader piece and the cassette door. Let me know! I brought one back from the dead and currently have a second for parts. Both came without the cassette door!

I got mine last week……………..not 20 minutes ago I broke the cassette door. I got the pieces and looking for the super glue. Ugly usually works better anyways. Lol

I have one of these available for sale in pristine condition (with the original manuals!) in the L.A. area if anyone is looking for one. I’m the third owner, and the other two basically kept it in the closet for 30 years, only taking it out to run drums through it for that analog mixer sound (the preamps on this baby are
by Neotek and sound great!) All the channels/lights and stuff work, and I had the tape mechanism restored and everything else looked over by a a guy in Burbank who specializes in fixing vintage audio equipment. Text me at 310.261.0870 for details and price.

I’ve heard a rumor that the bulk of this board was designed by mike stoica (of sytek / neotek), but can’t seem to find any information confirming this.. anyone out there have any insight on this?

ed, seems that he is still working, why dontcha get in touch with him and just ask him. his contact comes up instantly w a google search. do an interview abt it, get some unpublished images, and we’ll run it as an article on this site. ???

I purchased one of these new when they came out from Bananas At Large in San Rafael, CA and we still have it at the studio in it’s original box. Saw a comment about some one breaking the cassette door, which I did a few months after I purchased the machine. I then contacted Audio T. To see if they had a replacement, and they told me we have one left, which I purchased, had my technician install it, and it’s still there like new. You have to be careful with that plastic door. Would like to pick up another one for spares. Cheers!

anybody out there have a copy of the manual for at-rmx64. a pdf would be nice. i traded my kelsy 16ch mixer for this back in ’98. works great, but i need manual to sell it properly.

Hello, I’m in the market for one of these machines. If anyone has one, please contact me. Thanks!

Hi David, I saw that you posted an interest in purchasing an audio-technica-rmx64 4-track cassette recorder. Are you still in the market for one? I have one that I bought brand new in 1987 in great condition!
Thanks,
Paul
