Why This Console?
The Chilton QM2 is one of Britain's lesser-known but deeply musical consoles — built with the same attention to quality as the era's most celebrated desks. The addition of API transformers on the direct outs brings a punchy, three-dimensional character to tracked signals that engineers and producers immediately recognize. This is not a mass-produced piece of gear — it's a hand-built, modified instrument for those who hear the difference.
Whether you're building a world-class tracking room or looking for an analog centerpiece with true vintage pedigree, the Chilton QM2 delivers. Inspect by appointment.
