In an effort to cut down on waste, reuse expensive components, and fight the growing disposability of consumer goods, we are pleased to announce the Ohm recycle program. Current owners of the Ohm Classic (a.k.a Ohm36) can send their Ohm control surfaces in to be converted into Ohm64 Models for $349.
Our Ohm recycle program allows us to reuse the wood, fader and rotary knobs, crossfaders, rotary pots, ribbon cables, and fasteners in your Ohm, and repurpose them into an entirely new Ohm64 control surface. Your good-as-new Ohm64 will have a new aluminum faceplate, internal circuitry, backplate, and rubber button pads. The recycled controller will have all of the features of a brand new Ohm, but will reduce environmental impact and cost less then a brand new Ohm64.
While we do source our wood from mostly renewable forests, our wood bodies are hand crafted and do take a long time from being planted to becoming a controller. Our recycle program makes us feel better about reusing the wood bodies, and saves on waste and natural resources that would go into making a whole new body. Steel from the old faceplates are also recycled and will most likely eventually end up taking form as another consumer based good.
To ensure the fastest turnaround, we will be scheduling recyclings in limited runs. Our first run will start on July 23rd, and be completed in one week. In order to reduce any downtime you may have by not having your controller for a week we ask that you receive your Classic Ohm by the 27th so we can have it refitted and sent back to you in a timely manner. Ohm Classic owners that participate in this program also receive a free copy of Cell DNA that is customized for the Ohm64 controller.
To participate in the Ohm recycling program and reserve a spot in the first run, please contact us by sending a mail to contact(at)lividinstruments(dot)com
The Ohm recycle program is currently only offered on the wood models, a metal recycle program will be announced when we release the all metal version of the Ohm64.
We are currently offering the Ohm64 with a environmentally friendly VOC free finish, a unfinished version (sanded and ready for paint, stain, or laquer), and a red or blue finish. For the red and blue we use a dye to color the wood and still leave the grain visible, and apply six coats of the VOC finish. Here are some of the images of the red and blue finishes. Everything is applied by hand (with the help of a spray gun and booth) for a really high gloss and smooth finish. These are the same techniques used in custom guitar manufacturing as we believe your controller should be an instrument, not a plastic box.
While this is our current color selection, if there is a custom finish you are interested in, feel free to drop us a line.
