The Syro album packaging mentions the Quad Eight 248 Console. But it is important to keep in mind that this particular console is different from usual ones since it's a module-based mixing console, which means that you can buy separate modules and reorganize the modules you already have the way you want. This is appearent when looking for pictures of the console, one will notice that every picture shows a mildly different setup of modules with different placements. It is so customizable that it even suited radio TV needs. The reason this relates to Richard David James is that we can't know exactly how he used this console (or rather, two instances of it like the list says) because there are loads of probabilities that he can come up with. We just know that he has the console, but nothing about the modules or its organizing whatsoever.
