Paul Wolff designed if I recall correctly.

I don't know the specs of all summing mixers-way too many- but this seems a bit different in the fact that it has (2) 8 group channels where you can insert a compressor/EQ chain. I suppose it's for slight compression for glue and tone of the two groups after you do channel inserts itb. Perhaps a Drum and also Instruments/Vocals Group?
I looked around, doesn't seem to be for sale anywhere.

The console worked in the recording studio because it combined all elements needed for audio management in one central place.
What do we have in its place? Preamps ripped out of consoles in separate modules , dynamics ripped out of consoles in separate modules, bussing and summing ripped out of consoles in separate modules, monitoring ripped out of consoles in separate modules.
I sometimes look at the various pieces strewn around and wonder how far wrong we've gone and what we've truly improved, outside of non-linear editing.

You pretty much just restated my view on all summing systems, they are consoles where somebody else got to choose what features I don't need! |

We have too much of everything in a market you cant follow if you have things to do. I still use my crapy A+H 24:2 mini mixer -at home- and still no one complains about the sound. I think I am getting too old for stories that go like: Its diffrent from all other units, its something very special... Years off R+D.... LOL its lesser than a year ago that they made a poll on the other blue board about summing... It gets stupid if someone, who teached me in several PMs that digital summing can do everything what analog can, - is selling a summing unit now -.  |

That why I still track in the analog room on a Harrison console, Radar recorder, 2" tape, all analog outboard. Everything's in front of me at a glance, No latency. If I want I can pull the hard drive and work in the digital room. It allows may combinations of recording and mixing. It's the best of both worlds. |
