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.

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.
