Wiener Philharmoniker Neujahrkonzert 1979

This is a digitally remastered version of 1979 record. It was remastered by Decca audio-engineers in 2001. I've got some amazing technical specifications considering the original record. I hope you may take an interest.

STORM (meaning Stereo or Mono)
Desined and built by Roy Wallace, it came into service in 1966. Each unit of STORM comrised 6 channels, each channel fully pannable L to R with high frequency and loq frequency equalisation and group faders. 4 units each of 6 channels were used to obtain a maximum of 24 channels with simultaneous 2 track and 4 track working. STORM was later modified to any channel to any group to any track (more versatile), able to be used for simultaneous 2 and 8 track recordings. 4 sets of STORM were eventually in use with DECCA for many years (1966-1986)
