Quad and Garrard in cabinet AM1, FM1, Control I & equalisation table

Quad 22/II/I and associated tuners were designed to be easily mounted in cabinets (with the Quad II power amps hidden out of sight) The units are mounted by removing the two rear screws securing the metal housing, sliding them into the cabinet cut-out, and then re-securing. Custom cabinets were made by many companies, usually also incorporating a turntable such as Garrard or Connoisseur. The public had been used to radiograms and consoles so this kind of arrangement was very popular. The cabinet featured here houses a Garrard turntable/arm and is mono - using the QCII pre and only one II power amp.

  • this system is interesting as it incorporates one of the original (and now quite rare) AM1 tuners - distinguishable from the more common AM2 by its half-moon style switches.
  • The Control 22 disc equalisation table is also mounted in the cabinet so the 22 can be appropriately set for different recordings.
