As an audio engineer, I’m always on the lookout for gear that can improve the sound quality of my recordings. Recently, I had the pleasure of testing out the custom passive summing mixer designed for Apollo x8 – x8p by VintageMaker, and I must say I was blown away by the results.
The mixer features 10 inputs and 4 outputs, allowing me to sum multiple channels of audio from my Apollo interface into a stereo mix. The balanced analog signal path provides a warm and natural sound, with excellent clarity and depth.
One of the things I love about this mixer is its simplicity. It’s a passive design, which means there are no active components to introduce noise or coloration. It simply sums the signals together, allowing me to achieve a more cohesive and musical sound.
The build quality of the mixer is excellent, with a sturdy metal chassis and high-quality connectors that feel solid and reliable. The unit is also compact and portable, making it easy to take with me on location recordings or to use in a home studio setup.
Overall, I would highly recommend the custom passive summing mixer designed for Apollo x8 – x8p by VintageMaker to any audio engineer looking to improve the sound quality of their recordings. It’s a fantastic piece of gear that delivers excellent results and is built to last.

Bought a Little One 16 TRS and tried it out over the last few days. I am very happy with the results so far on my drum mixes. I am using it Apollo X6 sometimes with Harrison Mixbus, BLA modified MOTU interfaces, and BLA Auteur Preamp. This combo has really improved my mixes. I am another satisfied customer of Vintagemaker Paul! I’ll be placing my order for a powered summing mixer from him in the future that is for sure!
After hooking up the summing device to my UAD Apollo, i was really impressed by the warmth of the lower frequencies and how separated and touchable warm the full roughmix got. I didn´t touch anything, just send them out!!!
I recorded this testrun as stereofile and bounced it out of the daw & compared it on some different systems. Another mix is done in the meanwhile on 2 Mono-Outs and 2 Stereo-Outs, the transpareny of the sound goes now even deeper into soundspectre & the stereo panorama is more defined.
Compared to the ITB-Mix, I get the impression it gets more audible stereo positions. Especially when you think of full pan positions or just right out of the middle. They are now represented clearly defined, not just somewhere…
