Anyone know anything about the 231a mixing console.
One sold today on ebay-
Looks to be from 1980s. Couldn't find very much info on the interwebs about this model.
I can only assume that not very many were manufactured.

Almost certainly a rebadged DDA board. Most 90's Altec mixers were, if not all.
Might find info at the DDA website.
Probably a decent unit with no parts availability. Nice toy for an amateur home recording studio
The 231A was a relabeled EV/Tapco mixer. Can't remember the model number, but they were a really good mixer - I sold quite a few of them, and own one. Designed by the guy who formed Mackie (can't remember his first name), it was a really well behaved mixer. The neat thing about them is they were expandable in an era when expandable mixers weren't the norm.
thanks y'all, i followed up and it looks like its C-12 model ev/tapco mixer, from the catalina series they put out in the late seventies early eighties.
greg mackie designed.
Only one Altec mixer was ever designed by DDA. If I remember, it was manufactured by Dynacord and versions were sold as Altec Lansing, EV, DDA, and Dynacord. The model was called "Interface"Quote:

Do you know who made the 9444b amps?
I've got an Altec parametric that has boards labeled KlarK Teknik...
All 9442, 9444, and 9446 power amplifiers were designed and built by Altec Lansing in Oklahoma City. The 9441 was an Asian import (same insides as EV 7100).Quote:

4024A DSP (2 x 4)
What about the 3200 series? Were they Tapco also?
I believe they and the BK-series (EV label) were a TAPCO design. Seems like I remember TAPCO making them for a while, then they went off to Korea to get them built.
