WOOD ...You Believe! ...
...In MAGIC?
Our DaviSound TOOL BOXES and other custom creations now capture this MAGIC with our UNIQUE ... SOLID WOOD ... hand-finished rack cabinets.Unless otherwise requested...
We now fashion our standard rack cabinets from select, American Red Oak.
Imported Exotic woods are also available custom by request.The combination of all-wood cabinetry, assembled with stainless steel hardware, with a handworked, select, wooden control panel out front, makes for a SPECIAL equipment housing that must be owned to be fully appreciated!
All Tool Boxes also offer the option of bottom , rubber "feet" thereby providing an attractive desk mounting alternative to traditional rack mounting if so desired.
Early examples of "WG" packaging new at the time ... circa 2000 and forward ...
Totally Custom Mixer ...
In a "Tool Box - WG" Format ...
This unit, although somewhat packed with features for the limited rack mount sized package, proved to be quite workable
in this format.This mixer was custom commissioned by
recording industry veteran ...
Joseph Renzetti -
Recording Musician, Composer, Arranger, and
Academy Award Winner
(The Buddy Holly Story).
Here's what Joe had to say about the superb clarity of detail -
" WOW!
It's amazing!
The detailing, the space around the instruments - great.
I've heard pings in the cymbals -
I bet they're in the 10 - 20K range - stunning!
And, my samplers sound really great.
My orchestra sounds more real ...
the same quality as the CD's I've listened to.
Great clarity, space, dynamics; very much of an improvement.
I now can hear the rosin on the bows!
Of course you've ruined me ...
I will never be able to listen to any other system again!
I'm hearing all the stuff I never heard before on some old analog recordings too ...
(I didn't know there were four Beatles!) "
And ...
Speaking of ...
CUSTOM MIXERS
This Mahogany finished beauty represents many hours of labor intensive effort !
It is , obviously, completely wooden in a specialty format custom created for the client ...
Specialty woods ... and exotic wood fabrications are readily available on request.
Meanwhile ...
This is the original styling of the TB-6 "WG" circa 2001.
This one gets a little "Southern Sunshine" ...
outside the DaviSound rear office ...
just prior to shipment to New York City.
Every TB-6 "WG", like all of our "WG" Tool Boxes ...
is as unique as its owner's fingerprints!
This is especially noted in its "grainprints"!
Here is the latest edition of the TB-6 "WG" introduced in 2006 ...
The control panel was slightly rearranged to accomodate larger, vintage style knobs
as well as providing extra space for possible custom feature options.It also displays the slightly shallower cabinet depth as used in today's standard cabinets.
And ...
For those who still prefer aluminum control panels
out front of their wooden cabinetry ...
Here are some examples of that packaging ...
A recent "Fade To Black" ... customized by client request.
This original TB-4 is Definitely "IN" ...
Nicely demonstrating our old, traditional ...
baked-on almond, aluminum control panels.
The FIRST ever ... Total "WG" ... TB-1!
As with most of the "WG" units ...
The true "mystique" of the Solid Wood TB-1 is difficult to fully capture in a digital photo.There is no lettering utilized on the control panels of most "WG" models ...
since the functions and layouts are obvious to the pro user.And, too, we believe that the "mystique" ...
and the overall aesthetics ...
are enhanced without the distraction of panel markings on the fine wood finish!
So we have now added it as a standard option.
The first "PedOak" styled TB-12 "WG" 2-RUYou can now order your own "WG" Tool Box in "PedOak" ... Or ... Dream up your own exotic combination of exotic woods! Either way ... THE WOOD TRULY DOES LIVE ON ...WITH DAVISOUND !

Here is a rare look inside
a DaviSound Tool Box
in the middle stages of construction...
BEFORE the wiring is neatly laced in place!
This was from the "old days" ...
a custom version of a "loaded" TB-6 ...
A very early, evolving "WG" ...
All wooden cabinet and rear panel
with aluminum front control panel.
Try as we may ...
A mere photo can NEVER convey anything close to the reality of the fine detail
and the special aesthetic quality of the "WG" cabinetry ...
any more than a mere description can convey the audio quality of a DaviSound creation!
Nonetheless ...We plan on adding more photos periodically!So ...
For a look at some of our more "exotic" "WG" cabinets ...
