In early 1993, Johnny Cash went into LSI Studio on Nashville’s Music Row with his band to record demos of nearly a dozen songs that he had written over his 40-year career. Recorded through LSI’s Harrison 4032C analog inline mixing console, installed at the facility in 1979, the tapes then sat on a shelf for just over 30 years until an 11-song album, Songwriter, was released on June 28th via Mercury Nashville/UMe.
Over the past 50 years, Harrison mixing consoles have helped world-renowned artists create some of the most celebrated and best-selling albums in history, including Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Bad, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, ABBA’s Voulez-Vous, AC/DC’s Highway to Hell, Steely Dan’s Aja and Gaucho, and Donald Fagen’s Nightfly. Harrison has continued to build on this legacy with the 32Classic, a brand-new analog console designed for modern workflows that integrates the classic 32 Series four-band parametric EQ and transformer-balanced Harrison mic preamps with onboard Dante conversion and 12-wide (7.1.4) immersive music monitoring. The Harrison 32Classic, available in 32- and 48-channel configurations, is now shipping.
