Two complete Siemens Sitral broadcast systems (each consisting of two racks), originally installed together in a Klangfilm tower configuration. Sold together as one lot, in intact configuration.

Fully transistor-based European broadcast electronics designed for studio tape recording and playback applications.

Stored indoors since decommissioning (15+ years). Not powered on or tested. Sold strictly as collectible / restoration equipment..

One rack includes the rare V257 optical playback amplifier module, making this a unique dual-system offering.

PROVENANCE

Originally installed in a European institutional training environment. The system formed part of a large-scale Klangfilm tower installation used for professional audio education and studio applications.

The installation was decommissioned after long-term service, and the audio units were subsequently removed during the facility's decommissioning process. The units were preserved in original configuration and stored indoors for an extended period prior to sale.
