Sony Oxford OXF-R3

The Sony Oxford OXF-R3 is a professional digital audio recording & mixing console with 96 full channels. It was developed by Sony Oxford, which started off as a team of engineers who were involved in designing Solid State Logic analog and digital consoles in the early 1980s who left in 1988 and formed this company. The OXF-R3 console became their major product; it was developed in the late 1980s and commercially released by Sony in the mid-1990s.

Peter Gabriel had two Sony Oxford consoles at Real World: one in the Writing Room and one in the Workroom in the main studio. It was purchased for Real World in Summer 1997, chosen because of the quality of the Analog-to-Digital converters.

One of the Sony Oxford consoles (not functioning) was put up for auction in 2013, with proceeds going to charity.
