CHAPTER 24
Helios Type 69 Equalizer
Overview
Helios consoles were used to record and mix some of the finest rock, pop and
reggae classics ever produced. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones,
The Who, Roxy Music, Queen, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley are just a few
that recorded with these amazing wrap-around consoles. Moreover, many
great musicians of the era purchased Helios consoles for their personal use.
Of all the Helios consoles produced between 1969 and 1979, the original
“Type 69” is considered the most musical. Universal Audio modeled the EQ
section of the very first Type 69. This console was originally found at Island’s
Basing Street Studio in London; it now resides with Jason Carmer in Berkeley,
California, where it continues to record multi-platinum albums.
