The 169 was the second generation of STUDER consoles built and had very high sonic standards . It was delevoped and mafufactured by Willi Studer in Switzerland in the late 70's and early 80's. Together with the successor 961/962, the Studer 169 console is one of the top consoles used for recording music and on location and has been loved especially by classical recording engineers for it's accurate, open, and smooth sound. It adds a gently warm colored character and the EQ has been described to us on multiple occasions by customers as „always nicely smooth and very musical sounding“. The highend has a low q-factor resulting in a super smooth tone and the lows are big and never muddy sounding.
