INTEGRATOR - THE ROOTS

The adt-audio V700 and Integrator series represent our 25 year old tradition of building mixing consoles using Modular Audio Systems. The first adt-audio mixing consoles were based all on this construction principle, which connects the best technical qualities with mechanical stability and a maximum in variability and sonic performance.

In the 70's this modular audio system of using 'cassettes' to construct consoles for recording and broadcast studios was the standard. As with the earlier broadcast consoles, recording consoles were assembled from a collection of separate, standardized modules. At that time manufactureres such as Neumann, Telefunken, Danner, Tonografie Apparatebau and Maihak were some of the main manufactureres of console systems in Germany.

In 1978 when adt-audio started making consoles, we also adopted the concept of a modular audio system to produce our line of custom build consoles.

Between 1978 and 1984 we produced more than 70 consoles using this method. Consoles were manufactured for both broadcast and music production, and all adhered to the strict rules and regulation listed above. Many of those consoles are in still in service today.

Over the years we have designed and built more than 200 different types of modules that cover all areas of audio signal processing.
