A-Designs’ Mix Factory Takes Summing to a New Level A-Designs Audio, Inc. is proud to announce the worldwide debut of its Mix Factory, a totally new concept and approach to “out-of-the-box” summing for musicians and engineers looking to get more from their current sound and workflow. “Our new Mix Factory isn’t just any old summing unit,” says A-Designs Audio’s Peter Montessi. “It delivers analog warmth with the depth and imaging needed to make your mixes truly stand out from the crowd.” Based on a concept developed by producer/engineer/mixer Tony Shepperd and brought to life by celebrated designer Paul Wolff, A-Designs’ new Mix Factory accommodates up to 16 audio channels, which come into the device on two D-sub inputs and sum to stereo XLR outputs. All 16 channels have a continuous FDR (gain) knob, pan pot with center detent, and cut (mute) switch that acts as a signal indicator with an audio sensitive LED, which glows when signal is passing into the channel and intensifies when the signal is stronger. That same cut button illuminates red when used as a mute, and green when signal is passing through the channel. There are two eight-channel groups on the Mix Factory: 1-8 and 9-16. Each group has an insert for a compressor or EQ, and there is also a master insert for all 16 channels, along with three mute buttons for each Insert. The Mix Factory has a pushbutton option to go from clean—the standard setup bypassing the transformers—to tonal using the custom-made output transformers manufactured by Cinemag. The difference between using the transformers and not is night and day, giving users an option for analog tone and/or color.   A-Designs Mix Factory / Add One In situations where more than 16 channels are necessary, the Mix Factory is linkable, providing 64 or more channels… it’s like having a console in a rack! “Like many other present day engineers, I used to think that everything could be done ‘in the box’,” recalls Shepperd. “However, I finally came to realize that analog and digital could, in fact, co-exist very well together, and the hybrid of the two was the special combination that took my mixes to a whole new level. It’s what ultimately prompted many other recording engineers to call me for tips and practically demand to know how I made my recordings sound so great. After several years of R&D on this product, I can say that nothing will make a mix pop quite like A-Designs’ new Mix Factory.” A beefy, external, switchable power supply allows the unit to be used for both 120-volt domestic (US) studio environments as well as 230-volt export markets. Including the PSU, the 2U device weighs 17 pounds.   Features   Solid State Design Custom Milled Aluminum Knobs Custom Output Transformers 2RU Rack Space External Power Supply Balanced XLR Output 16 Gain Controls 2 Master Gain Controls 1 - 8 and 9 - 16 1 Grand Master Gain Control 16 Pan Controls Master Insert 1 - 8 Insert 9 - 16 Insert 16 Mute Switches Transformer In/Out Switch 22 Color Changing Switches LED Array Linking XLRs for more channels  

The sound of Neve has been the audio recording benchmark for generations of leading engineers, musicians and producers. Wherever sound matters, from a full orchestral recording for a blockbuster film to a lone singer, from a rock drummer to an R’n’B vocal, Neve technology provides the warmth, punch and definition so sought after by modern and classic producers.The legendary sound of Neve now becomes available to DAW based producers. Sixteen input channels include level, pan, cut and cue controls. A +15dB gain range accommodates both -10dBv and +4dbm input levels. If sixteen inputs aren’t enough for your mix, multiple 8816 units can be cascaded together via the fixed level two track buss. The ultimate analogue mix buss utilises classic Neve transformer mixing topology. The mix outputs appear simultaneously as balanced +4dBm and unbalanced -10dBv. Mix Inserts are pre-fade for full control and can be switched between normal insert mode and mastering style sum and difference mode with stereo width control.  An optional digital output converts the analogue mix to any standard PCM sample rate up to 192kHz or DSD, Output PPM meters are complemented by overload LEDs to indicate clipping at the ADC or analogue output. The monitor section selects between Mix Out, 2 Track Return, Channels 1 & 2 (DAW mix replay) and 'i-mon' front panel input mini-jack, handy for quick mix comparisons. The monitor level is independent of the mix level and the monitor outputs can be switched between Main and Alt speakers. A separate Cue Output can be fed from three sources and the inbuilt Talkback mic. Headphones can be used to listen to either Cue or Monitor source. A USB connector allows snapshots of the 8816 settings to be saved to a PC or Mac and recalled ready for remix.  Instant Recall of settings stored on PC or Mac via USB16 input channels plus aux additional inputsCue, Level, Pan, Solo and Mute controlsClassic Neve analogue transformer mix bussMix Insert pointsVarious solo and solo in place functionsSum and difference insert with exclusive 'Stereo Width Control'Dance mix style insert Mix functionSeparate Monitor and Cue levels >Main and Alt speaker outsIn built talkback mic and headphone OutputOptional digital output cardUnits can be cascaded for multiple output2 rack U high with special shielded power supply  Für weitere Informationen, besuchen Sie bitte die Homepage zu diesem Produkt.

Mastering-grade transparency Satori is a true analog monitoring and summing system. A Japanese Buddhist term referring to enlightenment, Satori is designed to deliver an 'epiphany' experience to the sound engineer. Antelope's renowned relay-controlled stepped attenuator, the extremely versatile connectivity options and great selection of stereo effects such as mid-side monitoring, place the Satori among the most advanced monitoring controllers in the world, equally suited to both commercial and project studios. Satori expands upon the acclaimed design architecture of Eclipse 384 – Antelope's award-winning mastering AD/DA and monitoring controller. Carefully designed analog circuits and fast, transparent relay attenuators ensure the audio integrity throughout the whole signal path. Stepped relay attenuator with precision accuracy Satori employs advanced, quiet gold-plated relays and precise resistors to facilitate fast, responsive level attenuation, without sacrificing excellent sonic performance.

When preparing for a new album, guitarists really need a fast and reliable way to compare and reconfigure their many amplifiers and cabinets without the lengthy process of manually swapping cables. Accurate comparisons between the different combinations are near impossible and the time taken between setup changes interrupts workflow. Our design solution to this problem allows the guitarist and producer to sit in the control room sweet spot and remotely configure the amp collection in seconds; they can achieve in a morning what had often in the past taken up to two days or more.  Description  The DACS HeadLine allows you to connect 8 amplifiers and 4 speaker cabinets. From there, you can select any connected amplifier and route it to a speaker or, if desired, two speakers simultaneously.  The HeadLine automatically detects whether loudspeakers are connected and only allows you to select channels which have speakers connected.  The HeadLine is packaged as two 1U rack enclosures. The first unit houses the user interface for the guitarist or engineer and the second unit is a relay switching box that sits next to the amplifiers. The units connect with a standard RJ45 network cable for easy routing and cable management.  The digitally-controlled relay switching ensures amp loads are maintained and the guitar input is muted during switching. The illuminated switches on the user interface indicate clearly which amp and speaker(s) are selected. 

Dangerous 2-Bus + The new 2-BUS+ is a 2-space rack-unit, 16-channel analog-summing mixer, with both XLR and D-sub inputs. New innovative features include 3 separate custom audio processors to add tone and color to mixes. The ‘Harmonics’ processor is a tuned harmonic distortion generator executed in parallel-processing mode with a blend control, ‘Paralimit’ is a FET limiter on stun, also in parallel mode. Both of these processors can be applied across the stereo mix, or on a pair of stems. ‘X-Former’ inserts a pair of custom transformers on the stereo mix and has a control for core saturation. All three tone controls can be active at once, and the order of signal flow through distortion and limiting can be flipped. The new Dangerous 2-Bus+ (…pronounced “Two Bus Plus”) is expected to be available through dealers worldwide in Q3 2015

Features: 16 channels of active analog summing circuits designed by Chris Muth Crystal clear and wide stereo imaging and perfect center through a stunning -109dB crosstalk rejection Enormous headroom to meet today’s converters output level (+27 dBu max input level) Two unique colour circuits of Muth Magic: Transformer and Coherence, applicable to the sum, channels 15/16 or hard bypass  Coherence features a blend control 2 of 8 stereo pairs switchable to dual mono (1/2 & 9/10) Expansion input for full expandability with additional summing units such as 2-BUS(+), 2-BUS LT, D-BOX(+) or simply another 2-Bus-XT 2 x DB-25 connectors for the inputs and 2 XLR stereo outputs for Main and Monitor Output trim potentiometer Signal present LEDs Only components of the high quality in the signal path Occupies only 1 RU of space Internal Power Supply Hand built in the USA Remember the 2-Bus LT? The device that preserved all the blessings of DAW-based work such as total recall while removing the unpleasant side effects of digital summing in a 1RU unit that is as simple as it is uncompromising yet inexpensive? The Dangerous Music 2-Bus-XT is the worthy heir of the 2-Bus LT which earned its merits in countless studios around the world. Still 8 pairs of stereo channels in 1RU but it comes with the looks and sonics of his big brother, the 2-Bus+. The extremely low cross talk and perfect stereo image provide a wide sound stage as well as a perfectly welded dead center lead vocals and knock down kicks. This results in better mixes in less time and with fewer plug-ins. On top of all that chief designer Chris Muth has added two switchable colour circuits: a transformer and a blend knob labelled Coherence for adding harmonics. The latter can be best described as phase coherent dimensional asymmetry. Both are applicable to either the sum, channels 15/16 or can be true hard wire bypassed. Both colour circuits differ from those in Dangerous Music’s 2-Bus+ and AD+ to give you even more choices when combining the 2-Bus-XT with one or both of those. Two mono selectors for channel 1-2 and 9-10 and a trim poti complete the 2-Bus-XT, two XLR stereo outputs for Main and Monitor plus an Expansion Input to add other summing devices as well as the two D-Sub25 Inputs for a total of 16 Channels on the back of the unit.
