EMI REDD.37 “Stereosonic” Mixer
April 8th, 2008
Here is producer George Martin in 1963, with engineer Norman Smith, who is sitting at what appears to be a REDD.37 mixing board. When the REDD.51 was delivered it was positioned facing the window. The Beatles can be seen below.

GEEZ! Wouldn’t you like to have been a fly on the wall during one of these sessions? Here are two guys, just doing their job, but I mean, REALLY! Talk about history in the making.

Yes, indeed. Martin forced Smith’s hand, however, when he wanted to be a producer, so after “Rubber Soul” was finished Norman turned the engineering controls over to Geoff Emerick.
