Valve Microphone Preamps
 
A dozen SIEMENS & HALSKE WSW hand wired, valve microphone amplifiers type 811301 with 10db stepped Potentiometer. Six units fit into one 51cm rack. Manufactured in 1962, these amplifiers were built in Austria as opposed to the greater number of Siemens/Telefunken (V series) units which were manufactured in Germany. These superior units have 68db of gain (like the Telefunken V76) as opposed to the 34db of gain in the more commonly seen V72.
There are three racks of six 811301 units. There is also one rack of six 811350B line amp units. Each rack came with one high tension and one low tension power supply per rack. However, these original power supplies will not pass modern safety standards and as such are unfit for purpose. mjQ is offering to build custom power supplies at a cost of £450 per power supply. They would be designed to power up to 4 units each.

From the engineer's chair there is a direct line of sight to both the live room on the right and the booth behind. The studio's front door is a few feet from the building's main entrance. The studio has a gated, private parking space within a communal lot and it's also possible to park for free right outside, subject to availability. 

Westpoint has been at the cutting edge of music creativity for 20 years and has been the studio of choice for leading music producers. Artists who have recorded here include Dave Stewart, Jeff Beck, Tom Jones, Primal Scream, Simply Red, Seal, Bjork and many more. The area is rich with music professionals including the tenants of Stanley house, Long Island House, LA Sound and the studios of nearby Impress House. Shepherds Bush is a 5 minute bus ride from the Uxbridge Road, making Warple Way within easy reach of Heathrow airport, the West End and Kensington High Street.
