EMI REDD

[2] The first REDD console, the REDD.17, was developed in 1958 by Peter Burkotwitz at EMI Electrola in West Germany, and was Abbey Road Studios' first dedicated stereo mixing system.

[3] The REDD.37 and its successor, the REDD.51, had a similar design with added outputs needed to accommodate Abbey Road Studios' new four-track tape machines.

The REDD.51 featured new amps that offered more headroom and lower distortion; Abbey Road installed the first REDD.51 in Studio 2 in 1964.

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band were produced with the REDD consoles at Abbey Road Studios.

Pink Floyd's 1967 debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and its follow-up, A Saucerful of Secrets, were also produced on the studios' REDD consoles.
