LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: TransAudio Group will be showcasing the complete line of Mercury Recording products at the AES Convention in San Francisco at Booth #602. Unlike previous years, in which the distributor's products were each individually showcased under the Audio Underground banner, TransAudio Group and president Brad Lunde will feature the full line of brands in a single large booth featuring manufacturing company representatives and guest audio engineers.
With classic audio processors such as those originally made by Fairchild,
Pultec, and Telefunken now difficult to find, expensive to buy, and costly
to maintain, Mercury Recording is dedicated to bringing the sonic and
aesthetic character of those devices to new generations through an expanding
line of hand-crafted classic recreations. Incorporating similar circuitry,
tubes, custom transformers, and design ideas to the originals, all of
Mercury Recording's products are hand-wired using silver solder, are fully
transformer balanced, and feature a distinctive vintage look with powder
coating or baked enamel finish with engraved lettering.
The first units initially introduced by Mercury Recording, which have all
recently been updated, include the Mercury 66, a variable bias-style
all-tube, all-transformer compressor similar to the Fairchild 660, and the
Mercury EQ-H and EQ-P all-tube, all-transformer equalizers, which pay
tribute to early tube EQs such as those made by Pultec. The company has now
turned its attention to recreating the classic Telefunken/Siemens studio
microphone amplifier modules with the Mercury M72s and the newly introduced
M76m.
TransAudio Group, founded by industry veteran Brad Lunde, has quickly become
the premier U.S. importer/distributor and/or U.S. sales and marketing
representative for high-end audio. Success hinges on TransAudio providing
dealers and end users with a higher standard of product expertise and
support far beyond the norm. TransAudio Group's product lines include
A-Designs (USA), AEA (USA), ATC (UK), Brauner (Germany), Daking (USA),
Drawmer (UK), George Massenburg Labs (USA), Mercury (USA), Mission Pro (UK),
Soundelux (USA), SoundField (UK), and Z-Systems (USA).
