Continuing the 1980’s

Kirsh dropped the Agency connection with Barry Smedley in Santa Monica, USA.,and worked hard to try and establish a market for TWEED AUDIO in America himself but without any major success until a break through in 1982 with an order from Station KCPB Thousand Oaks Los Angeles (part of The University of Southern California) - for two Custom Desks (below) which were delivered in Spring 1983.

The History

Qaiser (Kirsh's son) was sent over to California to run the Test and Servicing side of the American Business allowing Kirsh to flit back and forwards over the pond.

Kirsh continued to burn his candles at both ends and came up with a Concept Design for the American Market (which KCPB's Consoles were effectively the prototypes)

The M124 (seen above) was launched as 'The Baby of the Production Console Range' with expandable frames and a comprehensive list of Modular Units to choose from as 'Standard'...........

A Tweed Radio Broadcast Consoles Brochure was produced which offered two frame profiles - B243/163 (24 Channel /16 Channel Options) designed with script space and/or patch bay.

or - B244,B245 /B164 ,B165 Production Frame (again housing the capability of either 16 or 24 Channels)

the Brochure also showed a comprehensive range of Module Front panel Layouts,

This attempt to 'STANDARDIZE' never got beyond the prototype stage and sadly the long wait for orders never materialized.....

....while back home in Kelso's Silicone Tweed Valley orders continued to come in.
