Pioneer rt 909 how to#
That factory knew how to do the things right and get the exact original font match and text placement on the front and obtain a very high resisting printing in silver color, which looks better than white color print. It's more difficult to get a perfect black anodized surface than a silver one.Īfter a long research and a huge waste of material, they ended in the factory where also the big brands like Burmester and T+A do their cases and fronts. Sometimes in some fronts hadn't enough aluminium consistency and sometimes appeared "clouds". Another problem was the material used in the original front face that they used for the modification. A huge problem was the lettering on the front face because they found a very similar font but not the exact match. Good were not enough for them, they wanted the perfection. They tried the modification to black in different factories specialized in anodization processes and front printings, but the result was just good. Their priority was to get a very high finish quality, not an amateur job.
Pioneer rt 909 professional#
wanted a black RT-909 and after long time he finally decided to make a professional looking project with a friend to convert the silver face into a black face. The black RT-909 wasn't released to the consumer market, so only goverments and some professional sectors were able to order it. The box said "Pioneer RT-909", not "Pioneer RT-909B" or "Pioneer RT-909K" as usually do the brands to identity the black units, but in the corner there were a small text: "black". in advance) to ask about the story of this unit and he told me than he always wanted a RT-909 in black and he saw one 20 years ago in a goverment institution. After reading the text of the auction I realized that this was a personal project made with lot of care, effort and expensive, but with professional results.

That wasn't the first time that I found a black one, but was the first time that the finish looked not DIY, looked as an authentic black RT-909.

That's was the supposed truth for a long time, but after watching in some movies the Pioneer RT-707 in black finish I questioned myself if also existed a RT-909 in black.Ī few time ago I discovered an auction for a Pioneer RT-909 in black. As most people know, the Pioneer RT-909 was the top of the line of the brand, and unlike other brands, it was only released in silver finish.
