| Content | 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.

In person demos are available. Shipping cost is the buyers responsibility and will be determined by buyers location. Please message to discuss shipping. If purchased without a shipping agreement in place, the buyer will be responsible for local pickup.
The Midas PRO Series family moves up a gear with the PRO X control centre and the industry-changing NEUTRON Audio System Engine. Featuring 168 simultaneous input channels and 99 time-aligned and phase-coherent mix buses, the PRO X sets a new performance benchmark in high-profile live sound applications and is a truly impressive digital control surface for the engineer whose very livelihood depends on both unparalleled functionality and reliability. Like all PRO Series consoles, the PRO X features managed latency and 40 bit floating point processing precision.
HyperMAC and AES50 audio networking technologies allow the PRO X to dynamically assign up to 288 inputs and 294 outputs at 96 kHz sampling rate to any of its input channels and bus outputs on a scene-by-scene basis. This high level of connectivity, coupled with the large channel and bus counts, makes the PRO X equally at home in theatres and symphony halls as it is in live concert touring, outside broadcast and music festivals. | Add the undeniably vibrant sound of analog summing to your DAW with the SPL MixDream XP 16 x 2 analog summing mixer.

| 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

- All channels fitted with gain controls, pan pots, and mutes
