Mini-Bus

Analogue bus summing from 2 to 10 channels. Maximum of 5 Stereo Inputs (10-channels) on TRS balanced jacks for simple connection to most audio interfaces. Allows for re-amping of tracks already mixed for added glue and grit.

Fixed load for mix summing applications - The load in this unit creates the analogue dirt effect on the mix. Use a stereo mic pre-amp or Bus Driver to return to line level afterwards (20-30dB gain required). This device is intended to be used for final bus or mix summing applications, during studio recording.

If you require a similar device for summing applications such as live use, but without the load, please get in touch when ordering and we can modify a unit accordingly (no extra charge for this).

Start summing buses in analogue with mastering grade precision. With up to ten channels of identically matched gain reduction, Mini-Bus brings high-end audio to your desktop. Route buses during mix-down to the five stereo channels for analogue glue and cohesion, or simply re-amp a track which is already bounced for added glue and grit.

Providing analogue mix summing, analogue mix busing, as well as re-amping of individual instruments or entire mixes during mastering. Not to mention processing of stems during mastering. The Mini-Bus is ultra flexible in it’s design and application.

If you’ve been working “in the box” for some time, eventually it becomes
clear that not every recording benefits from the absolute clarity offered by today’s DAWs. Being able to dial in a certain amount of dirt can be vital. At times the difference between a “recording” and a “record” might be a single piece of equipment, such as a high-end compressor at the mastering house, which adds the elusive sparkle needed.
