Tube Summing Mixer

mix life into your recordings

With the Tube Summing Mixer you can mix up to 16 analogue stereo signals onto one stereo bus. Combined with a digital system you can enjoy the benefits of both worlds: comfort and various editing opportunities of digital systems conjoined with the sound quality and unique sound of the big analogue mixing consoles.

So you donīt have to forbear from the way you are used to work. While summing you play out the signals with fully digital resolution, and then you leave the mixing job to your Tube Summing Mixer.

Realising an extremely high-quality analogue circuit was possible by focussing on the basics. The final output stage with tube and transformer gives the stereo signal additional identity.

The Tube Summing Mixer provides you with 16 stereo inputs with balanced Neutrik instrument jacks. If you only use the left input the signal will be switched to mono automatically. Thus you can position signals by 100 % if they only appear in the stereo center.

External keyboards and samplers donīt have to go through your computer and can be directly mixed with your analogue summing unit. If necessary, several units can be connected in order to get additional inputs.

Benefits of analog summing
Nowadays digital audio workstations (DAW) are regulars in modern sound studios. Actually nobody wants to give up the accustomed comfort and all the editing opportunities (Plug-Ins, cutting, editing). Unfortunately, there is a problem which should not be undervalued: Single signals sound great for themselves but often they lose their identity during the internal computer mixdown. The stereo mix sounds indifferent, spongy and the desired spatiality is missing.

Exactly at this point analogue circuitry shows its benefits. Signals get mixed without any hassle in terms of resolution, phase or latency. Thus the mix wins transparency and spacious depth. Stereo locating is improving and single instruments are getting clearer again. Additionally, you have the option to connect analogue equipment into the signal flow for further processing.

Continue to use all features of your DAW and simultaneously achieve the sound of the big studio consoles - perfect!
