TOTALLY TUBULAR
CROWN
"TOWER of POWER"
Audio Rack
This is one fine vintage audio system! All very high quality vintage components in a modern steel rack that just flat ROCKS!
Starting at the top, literally on the top, is a Sirius satellite radio "Starmate" receiver.
At the top of the actual rack-mounted components is a power panel complete with master switch, pilot light, and fuse. This controls the line voltage to the entire rack.
From dbx; a vintage 3BX 3-band Dynamic Range Expander.
Next is a Crown OC150A Output Control Console, complete with VU meters.
The master controls are a Crown IC150A
Integrated Circuit Stereo Console.
