The Looptrotter Modular Console is a fully customizable analog console designed for studios, producers, and engineers using 500-series modules. Each channel features two 500-series slots, allowing users to install preamplifiers, equalizers, or other modules to create any desired sound. The console integrates essential recording and mixing functions, including an advanced Talkback/Listen section, four Aux tracks, analog summing, and True Bypass for modules and external inserts. Individual channel outputs and four additional stereo tracks can be routed to the stereo mix or groups. Additional features include four stereo inputs for hardware returns or MIDI instruments, a versatile monitor panel with three selectable sources, and independent volume controls for speakers and headphones.

The Series 68 analog consoles have been developed to deliver the core feature set most often needed for analog recording. The 68’s are Split/lnline consoles with individual channels in 8-way panels. Using an 8 subgroup configuration and incorporating 6 Aux sends, its routing options are vast and simple to use. Connections are fast and easy with DB-25’s throughout the board and XLR’s for Master and Main outputs. With a flexible yet powerful 3 band EQ at its core, including selectable channel inserts and monolithic preamps driving the inputs, the Series 68 consoles offer a wide array of summing and mixing options. The sonic quality and compact footprint of the 68’s are able to meet any demand. Modularity Throughout The 68’s by design are manufactured to be a more cost effective variant of the fully modular 78’s. Incorporating a similar chassis design and the LED meter bridge, the 68’s have a rugged and proven core. Using a simi-modular design the 68’s are able to effectively reduce their overall costs without a significant sacrifice to serviceability. All input channels are individual boards, faders included, each in a 8 channel pack. Subgroups are individual boards, faders included, each in a 8 channel pack. Master Channel is an individual channel separated from all others.

The Trident 78 all analog consoles are all Trident through and through. The Trident 78 is a cost effective mixing console tailored for engineers, studio owners, educational facilities, houses of worship, and live sound applications. The 78’s are Split/lnline consoles with individual channels in 4-way panels. Using an 8 subgroup configuration and incorporating 6 Aux sends, its routing options are vast and simple to use. Connections are fast and easy with DB-25’s throughout the board and XLR’s for speaker and main outputs. With the 80B EQ at its core, including selectable channel inserts and discrete preamps driving the inputs, the Trident 78 consoles offer a wide array of summing and mixing options. The uncompromised sonic quality and compact footprint of the 78’s are able to meet any demand. Features found throughout the 78 make for a straightforward and powerful package, but paramount to all else is The Sound. Among the many styles, preferences and methods of recording exists the expectation that a board must have the ability to be pushed hard and sound big. This is a hallmark of the series 80 consoles and the 78 carries that tradition forward. Bottom line: The Trident 78 was created with all of this in mind so that you can use it to make great sounding tracks. Modularity Throughout The 78’s by design are manufactured to be a more cost effective variant of the fully modular 88’s.

Trident 88 Console Overview The Trident 88 is a classically styled, in-line, eight-buss analog console and an advancement in lineage of the revered Series 80 mixing desks. Designed with manufacturability in mind, the 88 is artfully constructed for ease of use and workhorse reliability. Available in stock configurations of 16, 24, 32, and 40 channels. The model 88 is sized to fit the modern, high end facility – whether private, institutional, or professional. Along with the pleasingly familiar routing and feel of a classic Trident desk, are modern refinements that serve to improve functionality, workflow and performance specifications. For example, integration with outboard processors and mic pre’s, such as the 500 format, is provided simply and elegantly by means of an exclusive, switchable input. This bypasses the channel preamp circuitry and allows for insertion of external signal sources directly to the channel equalizer. Being a Trident, the equalization is of course, wonderful, and on the 88 – it is also plentiful. Always available on the channel, monitor, effects returns and group sections. In the area of customization, the 88 has options for vu metering, transformer I/O, automation, short loading and channel configurations exceeding 40 inputs. Features found throughout the 88 make for a straightforward and powerful package, but paramount to all else is The Sound. Among the many styles, preferences and methods of recording exists the expectation that a board must have the ability to be pushed hard and sound big. With 27dB of headroom, the 88 is designed to be pushed hard and sound big. This is a hallmark of the series 80 consoles and the 88 carries that tradition forward. Bottom line: The Trident 88 was created with all of this in mind so that you can use it to make great sounding tracks. Fully Modular Design: Designed with manufacturability in mind. The Trident 88 was made from the ground up to be a rugged and reliable console. We went to great lengths to make sure that the 88’s are easy to build and equally easy to maintain. The 88 is designed so that the entire console can be serviced with a single screw driver. Motherboards are shock-mounted with rubber standoffs to isolate them from the chassis and provide additional protection from structure born stresses. A channel can be swapped in matter of minutes and the console will continue to function if one or more channels are removed. Faders, channels, groups, and master section are individually removable. All rear connections are also removable. Split/Inline Console: Having a Split/Inline console effectively will double your inputs to your stereo buss. This has become more and more a common configuration for recording consoles in today’s market. We took it a step further and added an EQ to the monitor path that can also be swapped with the main channel EQ. Dual Input to the Channels – line and monitor Four band, sweepable channel EQ, is switchable with monitor Tilt EQ. Dual Inserts to each Channel at the preamp, or the main channel EQ. 8 Auxes: 6 mono and 2 Stereo 27dB of headroom Microphone Preamp: Incorporating a Discrete Class A preamp to the 88’s is a departure from previous Trident console preamps in the 80 Series. This give’s the 88’s a higher quality stock preamp from the start and also incorporates the option to add a Lundahl input transformer to any channel desired. Discrete Class A 65dB gain Balanced inputs, with optional Lundahl transformers Full bypass insert Input Reverse Switch Mic/Line Switch Phantom Power Switch Console EQ: Expanding the great success of 80 Series recording consoles is only logical. Taking the highly regarded 80B EQ and improving on it with the 80C EQ was a great step forward for its time. The 80C EQ took all of the great sound of the 80B and gave it even more control. Keeping the 80C EQ as the brawn of the 88’s was a decision that required no second thought.Adding more EQ to the 88 was the next step forward for a more versatile analog recording console’s progression. Having EQ to the vast majority of the inputs to the 88 console means more analog controls at your fingers.

Your time spent setting up a mix and the ability to have tactile control with immediate effect over your work is essential and time saving. The 88’s are designed to give you maximum control and routing options all onboard at your fingertips. Making your creative process more effective and saving you time in the process. 8 Subgroups 3 Monitor Controls 8 Monitor returns with high and low EQ 8 Auxes; 6 Mono 2 Stereo 8 Stereo FX Returns with high and low EQ 8 Stereo Aux Returns assignable to the Stereo FX Returns 1/8″ TRS Input Onboard Talkback to Auxes in pairs, Groups, or Studio Built in Oscillator selectable at 1k or 10k
