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.
This concept offers high-grade analog summing without panorama and fader controls, in turn allowing an engineer to retain the entire scope of his computer automation. One MixDream can sum up to 16 audio tracks to a stereo signal, and should the need arise for more than 16 tracks, several MixDreams may be linked together.
The MixDream discrete class A technology is based on a 60-volt rail (+/- 30V). Newly developed circuitry, based on the most modern analog components, guarantees an extremely high slew rate, a low noise level of -97dBu (A-weighted, all channels active) and a dynamic level of over 125dB. Thus the MixDream easily realizes the technical level of the best analog consoles.
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
