Description

Electrodyne consoles served up some of the hottest hits of the late ’60s and early ’70s at top studios like Capitol, Warners, Stax, Decca, and Motown. Now the Electrodyne Summing Station fortifies your rack with the iconic Electrodyne sound from analog’s golden era. The Summing Station is, essentially, the center section of a classic 1970s Electrodyne large-format console, providing a 16-channel active summing network and stereo mix bus facilities for modern DAW-based studios. Boasting an extremely low-distortion balanced signal path for monitoring accuracy, the Summing Station uses classic Electrodyne design technology that includes original Electrodyne design output transformers, discrete transistor op-amps, and transformer control for “tight” vs. “warm” mix bus sonics.

Analog warmth and punch — optimized for the digital era

Can’t afford a vintage Electrodyne console for your DAW-based studio? No worries. Designed for professional project studios and production facilities, the Summing Station is perfect for enhancing clinical-sounding digital stems and mixes with classic Electrodyne analog warmth and punch. Optimized for the digital era, Summing Station delivers all the functionality you don’t get from your DAW.

In addition to its studio-grade 16-channel active summing network, the Summing Station includes a comprehensive Control Room Monitor section with Stereo Mix and Artist Cue facilities; a high-power, low-distortion headphone amplifier; a 3.5mm TRS Mobile Device input; Mono, Dim, and Mute controls; a Main/Alt Monitor selector with precision level trims for Alternate speakers; a precision-detented Control Room Level pot; and an integrated Talkback mic and CR-to-Studio Listen function. Lastly, you get the legendary all-discrete Electrodyne console sound in a compact, cost-effective package.

The Electrodyne legacy

As one of the very first console manufacturers, Electrodyne was instrumental in transforming the way records and films were recorded and mixed. Sweetwater is proud to be part of that great legacy. And we are very excited about the Electrodyne Summing Station — it sounds amazing! We’re sure you’ll agree.

The Shadow Hills Industries Equinox microphone preamp, summing mixer, and monitor controller is like adding a mastering-grade console to your studio's rack. You get two Golden Age microphone preamplifiers, 30 channels of analog summing, a comprehensive mastering-quality monitor section, and switchable output transformers - everything you'll need to make your mixes sound like they were created in a world-class facility. You'll love the rich, open character of the microphone preamps. The summing mixer gives you ample headroom to craft exciting, dynamic mixes. And you'll hear every detail and nuance of your music, thanks to the precision-designed monitoring signal path. In short, the Shadow Hills Industries Equinox gives you the functionality and timeless sound of an analog console in a convenient, 2U rackmountable unit. In today's modern recording studio, the ability to work smarter is the key to success. The Equinox combines the most useful features of a traditional analog console, like premium summing capability, talkback functionality, and a flexible monitoring section. While you could buy a high-quality, dual-channel mic preamp, 30 channels of analog summing, and an impeccable monitoring controller separately, you would spend thousands more and still may not reach the same level of sonic excellence as you get with the Equinox. Shadow Hills Industries Equinox Microphone Preamp/Summing Mixer/Monitor Controller at a Glance:
  • Exceptional Golden Age microphone preamplifiers
  • 30 channels of analog summing
  • Comprehensive monitoring control
  • Switchable output transformers for sonic variations
Exceptional Golden Age microphone preamplifiers The Shadow Hills Industries Equinox gives you a pair of Golden Age mic preamps with extreme functionality. You have 60dB of gain on tap, with a -20dB pad to allow you to record loud sources like drums and guitar amps without unwanted distortion. A 1/4" instrument input is present for direct recording of guitar, bass, and acoustic-electric instruments, making the Equinox an all-around workhorse microphone preamplifier. 30 channels of analog summing The Equinox is ready to provide rich and punchy mixes with incredible depth, thanks to 30 channels of on-board analog summing. You'll have the incredibly high headroom of an analog console that will allow your tracks to reach their full dynamic potential. You'll also appreciate the incredible stereo imaging with a lifelike sense of depth. Comprehensive monitoring control With mastering-quality components, the Equinox gives you the monitoring quality you need to make crucial mix decisions with confidence. You can connect up to three sets of monitors, and a stereo cue output is ready to feed a separate headphone system from any of the Equinox's inputs. You'll have the flexibility you need to approach recording, mixing, and mastering projects with speed and precision when you add the Equinox to your studio setup. Switchable output transformers for sonic variations You have remarkable control over the tone and vibe of your music with the Equinox, thanks to three switchable output transformers. Switching transformers provides a subtle but significant tonal shift, both to signals recorded through the Equinox's mic pres as well as the output of the summing mixer section. Choose from steel, nickel, or iron output transformers to get the iconic sound of different styles of analog consoles. The nickel transformer gives you a natural low-end with smoothly enhanced high frequencies, outstanding on vocals and acoustic instruments. The iron transformer has a natural high end with a slight boost around 110Hz, and has a Class-A output stage that only passes even-ordered harmonic distortion - very musical. The steel transformer sounds very open with a detailed and fast response, with a very subtle boost around 40Hz that helps provide rock-solid low frequencies. With the Equinox, you can shape your recordings and mixes to suit whatever musical vibe you want. Shadow Hills Industries Equinox Microphone Preamp/Summing Mixer/Monitor Controller Features:
  • Combines fantastic mic preamps, 30 channels of high-quality analog summing, and mastering-quality monitor control to give you the best functions of an analog console
  • 24-position, gold-plated stepped attenuator knobs for precise recall of your session settings
