Offered is „Studer A807 (non VU)“ by Studer as second-hand device from the category „Tape Recorder“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3386966715 ends on 05.11.2026 at 19:12 o'clock.
This is a classic, respected open-reel machine, and the asking price of €6,200 is above the recent used-market center but still not out of line for a clean example. Against the comparable EUR listings, it sits well above the median €4,914 and also above the 75th percentile €5,326, so this reads as ambitious rather than a bargain.
What makes it appealing is the Studer name itself: these are prized for build quality, stable transport behavior, and serious tape performance when properly sorted. If the listing is genuinely clean and complete, the premium can make sense for a buyer who wants a presentable, dependable deck; just make sure service history, heads, pinch roller, and any missing accessories are all documented, because at this price you want a strong, ready-to-use example, not a project.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Studer is a Swiss professional-audio brand founded in 1948 by Willi Studer in Switzerland, and its name is strongly associated with precision engineering in broadcast and recording history. The company built its reputation on robust, technically advanced studio equipment rather than consumer hi-fi, and it became especially influential through its tape machines and mixing consoles.
Studer is best known for analog tape recorders, mixing consoles, and later digital broadcast and studio consoles and related processing systems. It is not really a brand of speakers, turntables, headphones, or consumer DACs; its core identity has always been professional installation and studio gear. That distinction matters for buyers, because Studer’s products were designed for reliability, workflow, and long-term service in demanding production environments.
In the market, Studer sits in the high-end professional and vintage-collector categories rather than the mainstream hi-fi space. Classic Studer tape machines and consoles are highly respected by engineers and collectors for their build quality and sonic character, while the modern brand continues under Harman ownership as a specialist in broadcast and studio technology. For hi-fi buyers, Studer is less a lifestyle audio brand than a legendary pro-audio name with genuine historical weight.
