Trident B-30

Little is documented about the Trident B-30. The period record shows one thing: a classified listing in Studio Sound (June 1978, p.105) offered a "Trident 'B' 30 x 16 x 16" console, described as immaculate, for £16,500. A 24-input "Trident 'B'" was listed alongside it. The 30 in the model name almost certainly marks a 30-input version of Trident's B-series studio console. The "16 x 16" likely refers to group and monitor paths - though that reading is inferred from period console shorthand, not confirmed by surviving documentation.

Beyond that listing, almost nothing else is on record. The B-30 appears to have been a professional recording console, sold through UK dealers such as R.D.G. Audio Visual Ltd. The archive has no confirmed production years, original specifications, or editorial reviews for the model. It turns up mainly as a name in used-equipment columns.
