TWiRT Ep. 734 - An Audio Console Steeped in History with Jim Gilmore

Update: 2025-02-07

Description

When a classic audio mixing console needs to be refurbished and brought back to life in Tennessee, everyone knows to call on Jim Gilmore. One reason is that he may have installed it in the first place! Jim might be a true Renaissance Radio Engineer! From on-air work, to traveling the world for Harris Broadcast, to engineering at The Nashville Network to CMT, to even teaching audio classes at Belmont University, Jim has certainly “been there and done that”. Join us as Jim shows us a totally refurbished audio console, originally built by WSM engineers, and used for a decade at The Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman Auditorium. Plus, meet Linda Chambers, CEO and Co-Founder of the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum, as she takes us through Brian Ahern’s 42-food Encatron Mobile Recording Studio!
