Description

The A-Designs Mix Factory takes a fresh approach to analog summing, delivering analog warmth with the depth and imaging needed to make your mixes truly stand out. Mix Factory inputs 16 channels and sums to balanced stereo outputs. All channels are fitted with gain controls, pan pots, and mutes. Two 8-channel groups are provided, each has an insert with mute button, and there is a master insert for all 16 channels. Mix Factory lets you switch between “clean,” which bypasses the transformers, to “tonal,” which introduces the harmonic enhancement of custom Cinemag output transformers. The Mix Factory is linkable, letting you expand to 64 or more channels. Take your studio to the next level with the A-Designs Mix Factory.

Benefits of the hybrid studio

Producer/engineer Tony Shepperd came up with the idea for Mix Factory, and it was brought to life by noted circuit design wizard Paul Wolff. Mr. Shepperd had been one of the modern engineers who subscribed to the “all-in-the-box” school of digital music production. At some point, however, he came to believe that digital and analog could very well coexist in the contemporary studio in a synergistic union that delivered additional “best-of-both-worlds” sonic benefits. This hybrid approach worked exceptionally well for Tony, taking his mixes to a new level. So much so that other engineers took notice and started asking him for tips. Today, most high-end recording facilities (including Sweetwater Studios) are hybridized in one sense or another. A-Designs’ Mix Factory is a smart and cost-effective way to realize the many advantages of this approach.

A-Designs Mix Factory Features:

  • 2RU 16-channel analog summing mixer
  • 2 x 8-channel Groups
  • All channels fitted with gain controls, pan pots, and mutes
  • Switchable Cinemag output transformers
  • Linkable, for easy studio expansion
