Allen & Heath Modular II

The Allen & Heath Modular II (a.k.a. Allen & Heath MOD 2) is an analogue modular mixing desk with 16 channels, 8 mixing buses and a patchbay facility.

All three bandmembers of Genesis (Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford) were supplied with a MOD 2 desk as part of the Allen & Heath Brenell studio package system during the early months of 1979. They all used the MOD 2 for recording & mixing home demos for various projects. Mike Rutherford was seen with his Allen & Heath desk leaned upright against the wall in the studio in footage from the Invisible Touch and We Can't Dance album sessions.

Peter Gabriel also owned one A&H mod II desk, which he is seen with onstage during the first WOMAD (World of Music, Arts & Dance) performance on 16 July 1982.
