Tom Chrapkiewicz, former engineer for ADM Technology (Audio Designs and Mfg) sent us some information on this extremely sophisticated console that they designed in 1981 for Glen Glenn Sound.
Tom tells us, ‘above is a scan of a sales photo/document for one of the Consoles we made at ADM circa 1981 for Glen Glenn Sound (later Todd AO) Hollywood. The application was for Dialogue, Effects and Music production for film. Countless films in the mid to late 1980s were done on these consoles. This is an early automated, digitally controlled analog audio console. The mixing control was via multiple 6502 microprocessors – one per each of the 65 inputs. These multiple microprocessors were networked together to a (I believe 8080/CP/M system. The analog path was controlled via dbx2001 VCA within each input strip.’
