A little dirty but still a beauty !
Le Soil
Yes- you know how to pick them!
Love that truck! Remember doing the John Hall album at the Bearsville barn back in 79.
Can’t believe you allowed a picture to be taken while it’s dirty!!!
Are you working with Garth Brooks? 😉
Many great memories of seeing that rig parked at my gigs!
Is that the same I was in at Toronto cne and Atlantic city 🌃
Yup!
Almost all beauties are a...little bit dirty...😉😉
State of the Art!
where are you?
Geoff Emerick, a true pioneer, legend, gentleman and friend to so many of us. You will not be forgotten.
Always modifying, improving and evolving...
Bonjour! Mes Amis!!
Use a damp dish towel to keep it clean pls.
Guy, would it be divulging a trade secret to reveal your signal path (from microphone to tape)? I’m no longer in the business, so for me it’s purely as a listener to the end product. Merci!
I will gladly explain, it is a question of matching gain and impedance to my Neve. As we no longer park within 200' to 500' from the stage, I was looking to find a way to bring the signal digitally to Le Mobile, but I did want to keep the sound of my Neve. The choice was to find some good sounding remotely controllable pre-amp setup at the microphone splitter feeding the signal digitally to Le Mobile at 96K. At Le Mobile a set of a converter and a trick circuitry matching gain and impedance like if it was an analog feed. This way now Le Mobile can still use the good old copper audio snake if preferred as long the distance is within 250' to 400' or getting the audio feed digitally trough fiber. One of the show we did last year, we were parked 2000' of the stage.
Know you have a birthday coming up and don’t want to miss it!!! All the best Guy!
Does anyone know what pin #55 named CRAZCAN on a Studer A800 does ? - Le Mobile was fortunate at the time to purchase the first Studer A800 in America back in 1978. It was a pre-series serial number 7. At the time the A800 did not have a way to enable a Dolby system into "input" mode while recording. At Guy’s request they’ve inserted this pin to remotely control the Dolby and named it the "CRAZY Canadian" pin. Congratulations to Studer for 70 years of innovations and simply the greatest sounding recorders of our time. #studer #harman #harman_intl #lemobile
Nice! 🙂
I’m always impressed with Guy! He always pushes the enveloppe! 😊
👍😉
Crazy Canadian. Of course.
Aren’t we all a bit crazy loons??
damp- towels for all!
Priceless!!!
Michael Montero might know!
I would get a hold of Les Bateman... Sounds Interchange had a few A800 ... All with Dolby SR...
This is beyond awesome!!!
Don’t forget CRAZAM! Short for Crazy American!! It was also added later at customer request.. was that Guy also?
Salut Guy, I remember having the similar discussion with Studer about the 800 at Studio PSM in Quebec City.
We found and animated this "Vintage" Powerpoint presentation made for Guy speaking about Le Mobile and his career at an Audio Convention along with the great Phil Ramone.
One of the originals but always the best. And rolling in and seeing Guy you knew your day would be great.
Bravo très original. Il y a de beaux souvenirs dans ce montage. WoW WoW...
I first met Guy in 1992 in the alley behind the old rehearsal rooms next door to us at 5744 Lankershim Blvd here in North Hollywood. He was working with a band called Animal Bag for Mercury Records.
Love this clip!
Just plain awesome!Congrats, Guy and Ian.

Sexy ride....
Where ya’ headed?
Just a fun fact. Over the years Le Mobile has been involved in the recording of over 40 major motion pictures film scores and movie soundtracks. #lemobile #filmscoring #soundtrack
Wow
Hey Guy. Loved working with you
First Sound Truck I ever worked with Guy Charbonneau doing a George Harrison Concert at MLG....

Our "Fly Pak" recording system is not just random gear slapped together but a meticulously well thought out plug and play high quality multitrack recording system. Visit our website for more information. www.lemobile.com
This is how it all started before Le Mobile. Founded by Guy in 1969. Filtronique Stereo HiFi store in Montréal is still in business today.
Who knew?
Those chairs are probably worth a fortune now.
Ça me rappel des belles années
Oh que ça me rappelle des choses!😊
Out curiosity, Guy, what do you listen on at home? Merci!
C’était à l’avant-garde pour l’époque, comme Le Mobile
Snoop Dogg & Charlie Wilson for Steve TV last week. Always a pleasure to work with this great crew.
Back from the Final Four's "March Madness Music Festival" San Antonio, TX, where we recorded and mixed live broadcasts for Turner Sports and Directv with Imagine Dragons, Maroon 5, Panic at the Disco, and several others in TNDV Vibration mobile unit.
Hey Kooster, we found one more !
He used to hide them and crazy me I found them all.
...☹️
That's good luck save it forever
We are very sadden today to hear the passing of our good friend Kooster McAllister. You will be greatly missed.
Kooster was unique, so friendly and the most fun to work with. I can't express the way I feel. The recording industry lost a great friend and a talented engineer.
Oh no what a legend!
Sorry to hear of the loss of a friend Guy.
Sorry to hear this news!
Kooster had been ill for a while but wanted to keep it private. A class act all the way around.
No! So sad. What happened?

Hi Guy! Congrats! I have a graduate from where I work (The Wooden Floor) and he's looking to get into recording. Is it possible for me to bring him by to check out your rig sometime?
This truck & it’s creator are a level of genius all it’s own.
Congratulations Guy and team. From the early days when I met you while working for Don Pearson/ Ultrasound and then down in LA doing wiring for you I knew Le Mobile was special. Keep up the great work!!
Congrats Guy. You're the best 🙂

Concerning Neve pre amps is the 1081 as good as the 3102 ?
A huge thanks to Richard Ealy, John McBride and everyone at Blackbird Studio Nashville for a fantastic day and visit. Allowing us to park and power Le Mobile to prepare for our project in Nashville. What an incredible place, never seen so much gear.
