Vintage White Neumann Limited Edition
White Summing mixer?
Yeah. Why not? This is the first white summing mixer since 2010.
Why haven’t you made it so far? The question is legitimate.
The time has come to make a white painted summing mixer. I received many hundreds of requests since 2010′ for different front panel colour. There have been attempts at other colors, but in terms of durability the powder coated black with laser engraving was the winner.
I do not plan mass production white or different colour summing mixers. Simply because of sensitive painting, circumstantial uv printed acrylic paint (labelling).
Then why did I make it?
The question is simple. At the long request of a very nice returning customer – he has been asking for years the Vintage White design.
Well then let’s see the configuration.

Here my thoughts:
Pros
Looks good, nice colour, unique look
Cons
relative low durability of uv printed acrylic paint, sensitive surface
Comment
The black paint is extremly durable with laser engraving. There are very good looking units built in 2010, without any without surface scratches.
ps. the sound is amazing 🙂
