Equipment


At trench, we tend to be pack rats for audio equipment. Sometimes audio gear will find its own way here, it knows it belongs here, an orphanage for gear if you will. Whether it's vintage analog gear or newer digital processing, we will take care of it and lovingly restore it. Here is a short list of what we have collected over the last ten years.
