SPL MixDream

60V Analog AccumulatorThe MixDream allows both the central integration of analogue equipment into digital production environments as well as the stereo summation, i.e. the mixing together of the audio tracks on an analogue level.

Conceptually, the reduction to high-quality analog summation, without the use of panorama controllers and faders, offers the great advantage of being able to maintain the entire computer automation. A MixDream can add 16 audio tracks to a stereo signal. If more than 16 tracks are to be summed, as many MixDreams can be used together.

The MixDream is based on discrete Class-A technology at 60V (/ -30V). Newly developed circuits based on state-of-the-art analog components ensure tremendously high rise rates, a low noise level of -97 dBu (A-rated, 16 channels open) and a high dynamic range of over 125 dB. Thus the MixDream can easily reach the technical level of the best consoles.

• High-quality analogue summation to only 2U
• No mixing console required
• High-quality design with Class-A / 60V stages for the analog, active summation in the quality of the best analogue consoles
• 16 symmetrical insert paths for optimal integration of analog effects into the DAW
• Reduction of the A / D conversion (14 A / D conversions less with fully loaded inserts), summation of all analog tracks before the A / D conversion
• Channel settings and automation (level, panorama, etc.) are still made in the DAW – the digital comfort remains fully preserved
• Lower processor utilization of the DAW
• Easy re-sampling of individual tracks, latency-free listening
• Surroundable (from 3 MixDream units)
• Channel number can be expanded as required by additional units
• Analogue peak limiter for powerful loudness gain
• Sensitive and transparent stereo control
• Master inserts and switchable output transformers
• Optimized signal paths, all switching functions via relays
