Sprotnik Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hi you all. I have seen some pieces of gear from an unknown brand for me. This brand is Eela Audio (http://www.eela.nl) I think it's a classic brand so I guess it's an old known for many of you but I have never seen it before. I would like to hear from you about your experience with the devices from this brand and how good (or bad) they are. Regards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprotnik Posted October 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I have never seen this eela devices before, and in the last two weeks I have seen it a few times. I have seen some old gear like a EA801 compressor/limiter and a EA-S120 mixer. I would like to hear the opinion of anyone who has used this brand just to know how good they sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungo Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Very good reputation for many years, built solid and known as very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Davies Amps CAS Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 I used one in the early 70's. The Nagra sat on top of it and the four rotary pots were sloping towards you. Can't remember much more about it apart from this. The only time I used it was on the original production of Ready when you are Mr. McGill.

Sprotnik Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 thanks, malcom. there´s almost no info in the web about this brand and it´s a little weird cause... if it is a long known and classic brand, why there´s almost no info or comments from users? the brand continues producing gear. still wondering if it is low end semi pro gear or very hi end top gear and the sound quality of this devices the very few comments I have read are about the good sound of the mic´s pres of the mixers, but... compared to ...what?

It was a very long time ago and at my age I'd be pushed to remember what I had for lunch the day before yesterday. BUT a four channel Eela with a Nagra 3 sat on top seems very real. Apologies if I'm mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Immoral Mr Teas Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Day before yesterday? No idea either Malcolm! Eela also completely new to me, and I'm a sucker for vintage gear. Maybe someone will come up with some pictures. Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickreich Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Eela are a current (though apparently long-established) manufacturer of Radio and TV station broadcast gear, from the Netherlands, I think. Similar market to Glensound in the UK. The old four channel mixers that paired with a Nagra were Sela brand AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
