The original ANGELA was introduced in 1982 and was in production until 1993. Over 500 consoles were manufactured during this period - approximately one every week for more than one decade.

Then success of ANGELA was based on its much-loved microphone amplifier and EQ, and also the extreme flexibility of its signal paths and routing systems. ANGELA was the first console to incorporate a true dual-path input module.

A comprehensive on-board TT jackfield is included.
