CHICAGO (Oct. 15, 2002) -- Paragon Recording Studio has acquired and installed a renowned Trident TSM mixing console in Studio A.

The console was constructed in 1979 and remained in full service at Trident Studios in London through 1981, when recording engineer Ben Rizzi purchased and installed it in New York City’s Mastersound Studios. There, the console’s recordings by renowned artists led to a studio buyout and relocation by Kaufman Astoria Film Studios in 1984. Brokered by Trident of California, the console was next sold to Fred Shaw of Bradley House Music Studios in Quinby, S. C. Finally, in 2002 the console was sold to its third and present owner, Ned Engelhart, president of Paragon Recording Studio.
