SUMMING MIXERS ROUND DEUX



Last year we tested a few summing mixers to see if the buzz about analogue magic was true. While we did notice some small amount of magic, we weren't blown away. We did, however, decide to keep an eye on this type of gear since more and more companies are entering the market.

Now, we're test driving 2 boxes that have had a lot of great stuff written about them. They are the Neve 8816 and the Tonelux summing mixer which is more of a made to order thing. These products are not new to the market, but over time they have developed a good rep with none of the usual web-gear-flaming we're used to seeing with most anything. Thanks to our way cool peeps at Vintage King, we're able to twist knobs on these boxes for the next two weeks. As usual, we'll report to you after lots of pizza and many sleepless nights.
