While Harrison no longer makes its iconic 32C series desks that those albums were cut on, it has re-released the preamps from that console, as well as those from other Harrison consoles as well with the new Lineage Preamp.
The Harrison Lineage is actually an 8 channel preamp that has a pair of preamps from each of the various eras of Harrison consoles. You get:
- 2 channels of Harrison's latest Trion preamps
- 2 channels of the famous 32C console preamps from the 70s/80s
- 2 channels of preamps from its Series 10 consoles of the 80s/90s
- 2 channels of preamps from its Series 12 consoles of the 90s/00s
The price of the Harrison Lineage 8 channel preamp is $2,995. You can find out more on the Harrison website or on the video below.

The fixed gains, that he mentions in the video sounds pretty handy along with the variety preamps on this one strip. I understand that FM's Rumours was recorded in several different studios, including Wally Heider's(reknown for the API). So, remind me, did this studio also have the Harrison console or was that at one of the other studios?
So were these recorded AND mixed through a Harrison? If not, at which stage is more "color" imparted? These kinds of stories always confuse me. If it was recorded on a Harrison, but mixed on a Neve, how do we pass out the credit?
I don't think that the majority of tracks were cut on the Harrison, but I do know that FM used a lot of different studios during the making of the album.
Bruce Swedien liked the desk so much that he eventually purchased his own and still uses it.
