Avid 230 (c. 1979)
Not much is documented about the Avid Model 230. The best surviving record is a test report in HiFI-Stereo (February 1979, p.56-58), where it appeared alongside the ADC Sound Shaper Two Mk I equalizer and other gear.
The report called its high-frequency output strong and extended, though noticeably emphasized. Bass response was reported as reasonably good. The surviving excerpt gives no impedance, power handling or cabinet dimensions, and no other period sources have surfaced.
- SPL (1m, 1 kHz band): 88 dB
- Noted characteristic: Smooth, consistent tone-burst response; elevated treble
- Year of known review: February 1979
That's about all there is. No production years, pricing or family placement have been found. The 230 appears to have been part of Avid's late-1970s lineup, but no catalog or advertisement has turned up to confirm it.
