Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:42614852 | Model: Audimax III-S |
| Brand: cbs | Type: vintage audio processor |
CBS Labs Audimax III (444) matched stereo pair.
These were paired at the factory and contain an internal stereo control board, interconnect cable and a different control set than the mono Audimax.
Commonly used in FM stereo broadcasting and studio recording in the late 1960's through the mid 1970s. The Audimax is prized for it's unobtrusive gain control and the ability to carefully level audio without pulling up background noise. So...lid state with the exception of a 6386 Tube in each channel for gain control.
Cosmetically these units are 7/10. There are some paint dings and scratches. Please see pics.
The units appear to function correctly although testing is limited and minor repairs/alignment may be needed. Meters light up. Audio passes from the input connector to the output with no hum or buzz noted. Input/output controls are scratchy when adjusted as is typical for these units. Pics included showing the units with audio applied at three levels: Idle, Gain expansion and Gain reduction.
Includes spare pair of 6386 tubes, Phillips NOS.
Due to the vintage age of these units there is no warranty.
