Here again is the hyperlink to the 1984 concert.
The Magnificat was recorded on a Revox A700, the other items on a bespoke Brenell Mk 610 with Brenell Stereo tape link. To make the edited analog master the tapes were played back on the Brenell Mk 610 and dubbed to the Revox A700 for razor blade editing. The tape was Ampex Grand Master running at 15 ips. DBX 1 noise reduction was used and there was no dynamic compression at any stage. I could just master this to CD using all the bits. The microphone was a Neumann SM 69 FET auditorium microphone. Subtle use was made of AKG microphones on the soloists. The Monitor loudspeakers were CARTER NFM-1. Two and a half way sealed enclosure with two Dynaudio W-75 EX and Dynaudio D 28.
