Hill Audio B Series 3 24:4:2 Vintage Analog Mixer 1970's - Black

Hill Audio B Series 3 24:4:2 Vintage Analog Mixing Console – Made in England – Untested / As-Is with Flight Case
 

Rare large-format British analog desk with 24 channels, 4 groups, classic VU metering, and strong studio or restoration appeal

The Hill Audio B Series 3 is a vintage British analog mixing console built for engineers and collectors who want a real full-size desk with classic routing, hands-on control, and unmistakable old-school studio presence. This example appears to be the 24:4:2 configuration, with 24 input channels, 4 subgroup faders, a stereo master section, extensive rear-panel I/O, and the signature VU meter bridge across the top.

This is the kind of console that appeals to vintage studio builders, restoration-minded buyers, analog summing users, or anyone looking for a visually impressive classic desk from a lesser-seen British maker. It has the right look and layout for a serious analog setup, with wood side cheeks, long-throw faders, dense channel strips, and proper large-console proportions.

Condition:
Vintage cosmetic condition with visible wear from age and use. This console is being sold untested, as-is.

It shows surface scratches, scuffs, finish wear, edge wear, paint loss along the front lip, and general cosmetic aging throughout. The wood side panels also show wear consistent with age. From the photos, the console appears visually well-populated, with its channel strips, meters, rear-panel connections, and most controls present, but it has not been tested, and no operational guarantees are being made. Because of that, it should be purchased as an as-is vintage console, whether for restoration, servicing, parts, display, or a project build.

Why buy this one?
Large-format vintage British mixers do not come up every day, especially from smaller names like Hill Audio. This one has the visual impact, layout, and rarity that make it interesting well beyond basic utility. The included flight case also makes it more attractive than a bare console, both for storage and for safer long-distance transport.
