{"product_id":"a-design-mix-factory","title":"A Designs Mix Factory","description":"\u003cp\u003eA-Designs  Audio,  Inc.  is  proud  to  announce  the  release  of  the \u003cstrong\u003eA-Design Mix Factory\u003c\/strong\u003e,  a  totally  new  concept  and  approach  to summing out-of-the-box for people who demand more from their current sound and work-flow. The  MIX  FACTORY  is  not  just  a  summing  unit,  it  delivers  analog  warmth  with  the  depth  and  image  needed  to  make  your mixes stand out from the crowd.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe  MIX  FACTORY  is  a   concept   developed   by   Tony   Shepperd   (who   is   known   for   his   high-quality   recordings   ranging   from  Gospel,   R\u0026amp;B   to   Rock),   designed   by   Paul   Wolff   (one   of   the   top   designers   in   the   audio   industry),   and   manufactured   by   A  Designs Audio, Inc. -  (manufacturer of products such as the Pacifica, Ventura, REDDI, Hammer 2 and Nail).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTony   Shepperd   was   one   of   many   modern   engineers   that   felt   that   everything   could   be   done   “IN   THE   BOX.”   But,   he   came   to  realize   that   analog   and   digital   could   live   very   well   together.   By   combining   the   two   -   analog   and   digital   -   to   create   a   Hybrid   -  was   the   special   combination   that   took   his   mixes   to   a   level   that   had   other   recording   engineers   calling   him   for   tips   and  demanding to know how he made his recordings sound so great. The end result, after years of R\u0026amp;D, was the MIX FACTORY.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the MIX FACTORY special?\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThere   are   16   channels   (which   are   2   D-sub   inputs   summing   to   a   stereo   XLR   out).   All   16   channels   have   a   continuous   Gain  Knob,   Pan   (center   detent),   and   Mute   that   acts   as   a   signal   indicator   with   an   audio   sensitive   LED.   The   LED   indicator   glows  when   signal   is   passing   into   the   channel   and   intensifies   when   the   signal   is   stronger.   The   same   Mute   button   changes   color   to  Red, when used as a mute, to Green when signal is passing through the channel.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThere   are   (2)   Eight-Channel   groups:   1-8   and   9-16.   Each   group   has   an   Insert   for   a   Compressor   or   EQ.   There   is   also   a  Master Insert for all 16 Channels, along with 3 Mute buttons for each Insert.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe   MIX   FACTORY   has   a   push-button   option   to   go   from   clean   (the   standard   setup   bypassing   the   transformers)   to   tonal,  using   the   custom-made   output   transformers   made   by   Cinemag.  The   difference   between   transformers   and   no   transformers   is  night and day. This gives you an option for analog tone and\/or color.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe MIX FACTORY is also linkable! This means you can have 64 or more channels...it’s like having a console in a Rack.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAnd   if   that   isn’t   enough,   there   is   an   external   power   supply   to   insure   a   perfect   sounding   unit   every   time.   This   is   a   switchable  Power   Supply,   which   can   be   used   for   domestic   (US)   120v   and   export   230 V.  The   Power   Supply   is   hefty   enough   to   handle   any  needs you may require from the MIX FACTORY.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThere   are   a lot of summing   boxes   out   there.   But,   nothing   has   come   close   to   the   MIX   FACTORY   for   providing   you   an  image to your mix that just stands out.\u003c\/p\u003e     \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eGain Range Total: Unity Gain to full Attenuation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGain Range for 1-16: Unity Gain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMax Input: +27 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBalanced XLR Output\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePower Requirements: 100\/120\/230 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 19 x 3 x 10 in\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWeight: 16.4 lb; 17.5 lb shipping weight\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"A Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450010071143,"sku":"62825","price":3250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/a-design-mix-factory_62825_1_254ecd8f-82ea-43ff-af4f-9dc185b638c2.jpg?v=1787091312","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/a-design-mix-factory","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
