Pro Tip: Push the instruments into the summing mixer at a higher level until you start hearing a subtle pleasant harmonic distortion. This will add warmth, depth, and better separation to your mix, giving it a more professional, polished sound—just like a finished record. The headroom provides a safe place for transients, ensuring clarity and punch in your mix.

The summing box is compatible with various interfaces such as Steinberg UR824, Focusrite, PreSonus, UAD Universal Audio, MOTU, RME, Apogee, Audient, Behringer, Native Instruments, Solid State Logic (SSL), Tascam, Avid, and many others.

Upgrade your DAW Interface’s Sound Card with 8 Ch Input Passive Summing Mixer and get the warm analog-console-like sound. Stereo Balanced studio grade high quality warm signal path.

STM – Stereo to Mono Switch: It provides an extra stable Real Analog Mono Base for your mix (on monos like Kick/Bass/MainVox/Snare and so on), saving precious digital-to-analog (DA) channels (so you don’t waste stereo L/R for a mono instrument), and offers superior separation and 3D depth for the rest of your stereo instruments. This feature turns L/R inputs ‘COMBINED’ (two hard-panned L/R inputs) into an absolutely centered mono signal (1 x stereo to 2 mono). For example, ‘SNARE’ on channel 1 (left), ‘KICK’ on channel 2 (right). Mono instruments in the DAW sequencer (Steinberg cubase, pro tools, flstudio, reaper, logic pro, Ableton etc.) should place the kick hard left, the bass hard on the right, and so on. Stereo instruments: If you don’t use mono channels in your mix, simply turn down all the mono switches, and you’ll have a fully stereo analog summing mixer with panning options available from the DAW.

In 1: Mono Kick
In 2: Mono Bass
In 3/4: Snare, hats some percs > stereo
In 5/6: Percs\toms\synth blips etc. > stereo
In 7/8: Synths\Effects\pads\Guitars\Piano\Vocals etc > stereo

Variable Headroom Gain Switch: It provides a wide gain-volume range for different applications, offers gain stages between various microphone preamps or DAW interface inputs, and accommodates various source inputs, such as synthesizers or DAWs. Placed after passive SUM BUS (passive mixer) determines main out (total) gain reduction – for different (pre amps) applications – gain stage – volume range. You have a great opportunity to experiment with different gain reductions and determine what sounds better for your mix: 1. Whether it’s with fewer input signals and more amplification. 2. Or the other way around, with more signals and less amplification. Benefits: You can overdrive the summing inputs with different gains to achieve more saturation and warm harmonics.

You can get as many channels and options as you want, so let’s build your gear!

    Really improved my mix!

    I’ve often heard people say that analog mixing isn’t worth it anymore and that plugins can do the same job. They’re mistaken because they don’t understand the essence of analog mixing.

    I don’t want to argue—everyone decides what’s best for them 🙂 But here’s something to consider: digital (ITB) summing is just mathematical summing, which can cause distortion above 0dB.

    Analog summing, on the other hand, allows you to go above 0dB without clipping due to headroom. This creates gentle analog distortion and nice harmonics above 0dB, which you can’t achieve in the box (ITB). It’s just simple physics. 🙂

    PS. I’m extremely happy with my passive analog summing mixer, which I call ‘littleBustard’. Thanks, Paul!

    game changer in my studio

    This passive summing mixer is exactly what my setup needed! The sound is clean and full with that classic analog warmth.
    Super easy to use, no frills, just plug in and go.
    The stereo image is wide, and it really helps tighten up the low end.
    Solid build and super reliable – no noise or buzz.
    Definitely an upgrade for anyone looking to add analog summing to their DAW without breaking the bank.
