Desks for consoles... custom made?

From what I can tell, Argosy doesn't make one specifically for the GS3000, so you're probably looking at a custom job.

Do you need additional work space on either side, or is this mostly just for aesthetics and proper work height? I ask because, though I don't know if the GS3000 ever had or could take legs, IF you don't need the extra workspace and IF the GS3000 has bolt holes meant to attach accessory legs to, you could have some custom legs made and probably save money going that way instead of having an entire desk custom made.

Or maybe A&H still has a pair of legs sitting around that they'd sell you, assuming that legs ever even existed for these consoles in the first place?

It's a bit hacky, but you could also buy a regular desk/table that otherwise suits your needs and dimensions, and then cut a GS3000-sized hole in the top. It'd require adding some additional lumber/steel support underneath, and you'd have to figure out how best to do that, but then you could just set the console right down in there.

Guess it all just depends on how much you want to spend? It may be that a custom desk is the only solution that will make you completely happy, but it'll obviously be more expensive.

Edit:

It looks like maybe Omnirax might sell one, though I can't tell if they have one specifically made for the GS3000 or not. If not, you might be in the same boat as you'd be in with Argosy, which is lots of money spent for a desk that just fits "okay".

Anyway, I saw this Reverb ad that had a GS3000 with an Omnirax desk, so it sent me down an Omnirax wormhole.

That omnirax site is tricky to navigate, I'll try again on my desktop... maybe an iPhone thing.

But yeah, mainly it's a matter of proper working height and just general stability. Not a huge deal I suppose but I if end up really settling in on a console based work flow, I'm gonna need a solution. Perhaps there's no real way around a custom build if it ends up there.

Interesting idea on the legs though, I'll take a look today.

i did my desk myself. and i am not that talented. i designed it exactly as i wanted it and let it cut at the woodshop. than it was easy assembling it myself. costed me like ~300€.

Most of it can be done that way, If he needs some input from someone who has done this before I’ll gladly give some input.

The most important part of the design process is getting the height right here is what I do: Mesure the depth of the console frame, then start by figuring out the best height for the work surface and at the ideal height minus the depth of the console. Now let’s see if that will work by taping some cardboard with the same leg clearance to a table and see if your chair and legs will fit underneath comfortably. If not adjust till you have a comfortable compromise.
I think AH has pretty good cad drawings on their website but I would double check those measurements, take pictures of any ventilation holes on the frame ! I also always remove the cheeks and arm rest and build something pretty😎. Also mesure the depth of your near fields this is the perfect time to build a nice shelf over the bridge.

Mixingtable.com Is the best.

Seems reasonably priced. Says it ships "flat packed", what was assembly like?

Easy enough for me, a complete carpentry dummy who can barely figure out how a hammer works.
