The NASON-1 Mixing Console

The "NASON-1" was designed from simple op amp circuits. I designed and etched all the circuit boards and wired the whole thing completely from scratch. This was no Radio Shack kit.

(my favorite building material - wood. The "NASON-1" started its life as a pine box)

I spent some long nights hunched over the inside of this thing soldering until my testicles turned blue. (photo unavailable)

(coupled with my second favorite material - sheet metal)

The "NASON-1" was never actually in service at Attic Recording.

It lived its useful life in my bedroom and was finally dismantled in late 1983 to form the basis of "NASON-2" which went into service in 1984 and was used both in the studio and during live performances for over two years.
