SPL 2384 MixDream
"So far, I've used three different summing systems with DAWs and I’ve noticed the biggest sonic improvement yet while using the MixDream." Mix Magazine (US).The MixDream is a cascadable, 16-in-2 analog outboard mixer in a 19“/2U format. Any DAW or digital console can be expanded with active analog stereo summing and insert functionality.
MixDream advantages
High-grade analog summing on just 2U rack space
* Sophisticated, active Class A/60V stages for analog summing in the quality of the best consoles
* 16 balanced inserts allow for integrated analog effects with individual and overall hard bypass relays
* Reduction of A/D conversions (14 A/D conversions can be spared with all inserts connected). All analog tracks can be summed before A/D conversion.
* Channel adjustments and automation (level, panorama etc.) remain controlled from the DAW so the user loses no digital efficiency
*
Lower DAW processor utilization rates
*
The most efficient possible re-sampling of individual tracks with latency free monitoring
*
Surround capable (from up to 3 MixDream units)
*
Channel capacity expandable through linked units
* Sensitive and transparent stereo expansion control
* Analog peak limiter for impressive loudness
* Master inserts and switchable output transformers from Lundahl
* Optimized signal pathes, all switching functions via relays
* Proprietary differential amplifiers for each input
* Discrete, exceptionally low-noise power supply
