OK, I was staring at the album cover while listening
to Kraftwerk's
Computerworld, and, while mostly thinking of nothing (best way to solve
programming problems) I started wondering what exactly they were standing in
front of. Anyone know what machine this is? It's tricky as it's just the
doors. Assume Germany c. 1980.
Not a computer at all - it's an Old Skool mixing console - the
connectors are Tuchels which were the typical German and English
multi-pair audio connector used then... here in Amerikka, though, we
usuallyused Winchester/Edac units for this.
The give-away in the picture is the molded acoustic foam treatment on
the control room wall behind the Band.
