Description

The Heritage Audio MCM-32 is a rackmount analog summing mixer that delivers vintage-quality sonics along with sophisticated routing options to streamline your hybrid studio setup. The MCM-32 offers 16 input channels arranged into four subgroups of eight. Each channel features concentric pan and level controls plus a balanced insert and a mute switch. Each group has its own stereo fader and balanced insert point. Both stereo subgroups are passively summed into the master bus, which has its own balanced insert point and VU meters. Makeup gain is provided by a transformer-coupled, 1073-style Class A mic preamplifier with four transformers (two per channel). Insert send points are always signal-present, giving them an alternative use as direct outputs for recording. Rear-panel connections are made via DB-25 connectors; except for the master bus, which has dedicated XLRs.

The best of both worlds

Done up in classic RAF blue-gray livery — complete with concentric pots and Marconi knobs — the Heritage Audio MCM-32 gives visual hints as to the sound lurking beneath the bonnet. Flavored by four transformers, that sound is decidedly vintage British, although Heritage has taken pains to improve crosstalk and self-noise specs from those of the vintage designs. The smart-summing topology employed in the company’s MCM series mixers delivers impressive headroom and low noise for a 32 channel, vintage-topology mixer. Sweetwater’s advice: If you want to smoothly integrate analog gear — and robust, colorful sonics — into your DAW-based workflow, the Heritage Audio MCM-32 is a great-sounding, elegant solution.

An 8-channel stereo summing mixer with 12AX7 tubes for sonic excitement, the Radial Space Heater can add incredible depth and harmonic richness to your tracks. Recording engineers at Sweetwater know that summing in the analog domain, as opposed to within your DAW, is a great way to get that big-console sound. The Space Heater's variable tube overdrive allows you to add everything from subtle transformer warmth to rich harmonic distortion. From gluing individual drum tracks into a cohesive kit to mixing down your final stems, the Radial Space Heater will add a great sound to your productions.

Tubes and transformers are just what your digital tracks need

No matter how well you record your tracks, or how you approach your mixes in your DAW, it's hard to beat the undeniably rich and deep sound that summing in the analog domain is known for. Instead of investing in a large analog console, a summing mixer like the Radial Space Heater is the perfect match for DAW-based studios. The transformer-coupled outputs add a touch of warmth, and variable tube overdrive is perfect for adding sparkle to vocals, depth to acoustic instruments, and even full-on distortion for extreme effects. Send your stems through the Space Heater, record the stereo mix back into your DAW, and you'll be impressed with the results.

Variable voltage for fine-tuning the tube sound

The Radial Space Heater not only gives you variable tube overdrive for each stereo input pair, but it also allows you to switch between 35-volt, 70-volt, and 140-volt operation. Use the 35-volt setting for maximum grit and distortion, or switch over to 70 volts for cleaner headroom and a smoother sound. When you want the cleanest headroom, switch over to 140 volts. You can adjust the voltage for each stereo input pair individually, which means you can add gritty overdrive to rock vocals while giving bass and drums tons of clean headroom for a deep, punchy sound.

Two useful studio tools in one

One look at the back panel tells you that the Radial Space Heater is ready to be a studio workhorse. Each of the eight channels can be set up as a hardware insert, which means you can send individual tracks through the Space Heater to add tube saturation and transformer warmth. Once your individual tracks are perfect and you're ready to sum your final mix, run your stems through the Space Heater and record the final stereo mix to your DAW. The Space Heater is effectively a smart combination of four outstanding tube/transformer modules plus an analog mixer.

Radial Space Heater 8-channel Tube Summing Mixer Features:

  • Stereo summing mixer for adding warmth, depth, and harmonic richness
  • A 12AX7 tube for each input pair lets you add anything from subtle sparkle to full-on distortion
  • Transformer-coupled outputs add a touch of character while maintaining a high-quality, low-noise signal
  • 3 adjustable voltage modes (35-volt/70-volt/140-volt) allow you to adjust how much clean headroom you have before distortion begins
  • Use it as an analog summing mixer or as 4 individual tube saturation/transformer warmth modules
  • Multiple units can be linked for higher channel count
While the convenience and power of DAWs is indisputable, some engineers prefer the sound of analog, particularly when it comes to mixing. That's where the Burl Audio B32 Vancouver analog mix bus comes in. Designed specifically for the digital audio environment, this summing amp lets you realize the full potential of your DAW by delivering the kind of sound quality you'd expect from a classic, large-format analog console - from a compact 1U device. Built in the USA using only the finest mastering-grade components, Burl Audio's B32 Vancouver sums 32 channels (24 stereo, eight mono inputs) to dual stereo outputs, and gives you the flexibility of a 6dB gain boost and tone-enhancing switchable output transformer. Burl Audio B32 Vancouver 32-channel Mix Bus at a Glance:
  • Large-format analog console hugeness
  • Impressive Sonic versatility and ease of use
  • Burl Audio: pro gear driven by an audiophile sensibility
Large-format analog console hugeness If you've ever worked on a classic large-format analog console, you've likely got that inimitable sound stuck in your head, and the results you're getting out of your DAW may not be cutting it. Enter the the Burl Audio B32 Vancouver. With no capacitors in its discrete analog Class A signal path, this 32-channel "mix bus" embues your mixes with the hugeness, impact, spatial detail, and clarity. It gives your mixes the "glue" they've been missing. Impressive sonic versatility and ease of use Burl Audio's B32 Vancouver gives you impressive sonic versatility, and it's so easy to use. Aside from your left- and right-channel mix level pots, there are just two other controls for each channel - a button that engages a 6dB summing amp Gain Boost, and a button to insert Burl's BX5 output transformer into the circuit. The Gain Boost endows your mix with hugeness and slam factor, while the BX5 output transformer provides an alternate tonality (which sounds amazing, trust us). The bottom line? If you want massive-sounding mixes, the Burl Audio B32 Vancouver is a no-brainer.
