History:
The REDD.47 is a plug-in valve amplifier
and was designed for utility use in EMI's
mixing desks of the 1960's. Prior to
REDD.47's, EMI had made use of the Siemens & Halske V72s in desks such as the REDD.17 and
the REDD.37. However, as early as
1959, work began on designing the '47
in an effort to have all aspects
of their desks be designed in-house and thus
'Made In England'.
Although the REDD47
was utilized in several smaller desks such
as the REDD.43 and the small 'add-on'
REDD.59, perhaps the most famous use of the
amplifier is in the REDD.51 desks
which were installed at St. Johns Wood
Studios, 3 Abbey Road. A '51 was in
use in the facility's studio number 3 by
1963 while studio number 2 at 3 Abbey Road saw
the installation of a
REDD.51 on January 17th of 1964.
The REDD.51 remained
as the main desk inside studio No. 2 until
late 1968 when it was moved to a small 'mix'
room to make way for the transistorized
TG12345 Mk I.
