Here is what Studer has to say about this limited edition: Since its introduction in 1989, the Studer A827 has enjoyed great success among professional record- ing studios around the world, and it is regarded as the finest analog multitrack recording machine ever built for the industry. Its predecessors, the A80VU introduced in 1970, the legendary A800 introduced in 1978 and the A820 first shipped in 1985 - most of them still in use around the world - were the basis for the design of the A827. With the Studer A827 „Gold Edition“, Studer now celebrates this success with a special limited edition of this product which many regard as the industry stand- ard. The Gold Edition of the A827 also concludes the manufacture of this series of tape machines after almost 15 years of production, and it is for this reason that we created this very special version of the A827 machine. Limited Edition Only 95 machines of this precious version will be built, and all of them are fitted with attractive design elements. In honour of late Dr. h.c. Willi Studer, the founder of our company, every machine car- ries a copy of his signature on the golden Studer brass plate on the top deck cover. The splicing block on the headblock and the tape tension sensor protecting casts are anodized in gold, giving the machine a distinct look. Wooden side panels on machine and remote control are made from real wood and are in black, the handrest on the remote controller is in black leather giving the combo very elegant looks. More features in the A827 Gold Edition The Gold Edition is loaded with features. All im- portant options are included in this edition. These include: • RS232 interface, • Built-in sine wave test generator for alignment and testing, • Built-in monitor amplifier/speaker in the Meter panel for direct monitoring at the machine. Higher sonic Performance with the A827 Gold Edition The A827 Gold Edition features further improvements in our legendary sound heads being made from amorphous metal. The gap scatter has been drastically reduced due to a new improved manufacturing process, and also the uniformity of the electrical performance among the individual tracks has been greatly improved. These improvements ultimately lead to a better sonic performance of the machine. Studer-built amorphous heads are unique in the industry, and their longevity and performance is unsurpassed. Free Tape and empty reel Every A827 Gold Edition machine comes with a free 10.5" empty reel anodized in red and a full 10.5" reel of Quantegy GP 9 tape.
