SPL MixDream

The MixDream is a cascadable 16-in-2 outboard summator that adds active stereo summing and insert functionality to any DAW, based on discrete Class A technology at 60V (+/-30V). This results in extremely high slew rates, a low noise level of -97dBu (A-weighted, 16 channels open) and a high dynamic range of over 125dB. Thus the MixDream surpasses the technical level of the best consoles.

Features:

• High-quality analog summation on only 2U

• No more mixing desk necessary

• High-quality construction with Class A/60V stages for analog, active summation in the quality of best analog consoles

• 16 balanced insert paths for optimal integration of analog effects into the DAW

• Reduction of A/D conversions (14 A/D conversions less with fully loaded inserts), summation of all analog tracks before A/D conversion

• Channel settings and automation (level, panorama, etc.) are still done in the DAW - the digital comfort is fully maintained.

• Lower processor utilization of the DAW

• Simple re-sampling of individual tracks, latency-free monitoring

• Surroundable (from 3 MixDream units)

• Number of channels can be extended by any number of additional units

• Analog peak limiter for powerful loudness gain

• Sensitive and transparent stereo width control

• Master inserts and switchable output transformers

• Optimised signal paths, all switching functions via relays

• Separate differential amplifier for each input

• Discreet, low-noise power supply unit

• Frequency range: '1Hz-220kHz (+/- 3dB)

• THD+N: -104 dB (20Hz-22 kHz, input level +10 dBu, all channels active)

• Signal-to-noise ratio: -97 dBu (20Hz-22 kHz, A-weighted, all channels active)

• Max. Input level: +28 dBu (@1kHz)

• Max. Output level: +28 dBu (@1kHz/THD+N -95dB)

• Dynamic range: 125 dB (20Hz-22 kHz, A-weighted, all channels active)

• Crosstalk L/R: -97 dB @1 kHz

• Common mode rejection: '70dB (@1kHz, input level +10dBu)

• Input impedance: 10 kOhm (for input 1-16, expansion, insert return)

• Output impedance: 82 Ohm (for master/monitor output without transformer, ins. send)

• Output impedance: 65 Ohm (for master/monitor output with transformer)

• Power consumption: 75 W

• 19" rack format with 2 HE
