Description
Warm, punchy, and dripping with vintage style, the Mini Mixer from Chandler is a 16x2, rack-mounted summing mixer designed to bring the classic, discrete, class-A circuitry of similar mixers from the '60s and '70s into the modern, digital studio environment. With a fully featured control room section, an integrated talkback module, and a 1/4" TRS input for expanding your mixer with 32-channels or more, the Mini Mixer is ready to handle any workload, from primary mixing and summing to auxiliary routing or adding a little old school warmth to your signals.The Mini Mixer is packed with 20 discrete amplifiers, 22 custom-wound transformers, dedicated volume and pan knobs for every channel, and flexible I/O including two separate stereo buss outputs and two separate stereo control room outputs. The mixer also has a handy External Input button, which disconnects the mix section from the control room section, allowing for a wide range of interesting and creative possibilities, such as listening to external devices or creating a stereo insert point between the stereo outputs and control room section to listen to your stereo DAW mix from from the control room out.Vintage Lineage The Mini Mixer traces its lineage back to several types of these amplifiers, developed in the '60s and '70s, that have been modernized for 21st century usage. In staying with this classic heritage, the Mini Mixer uses discrete, class-A circuitry and uncompromising design for a warm and punchy sound that will not disappoint.16 channels with 15 mono XLR inputs and one XLR stereo pair inputFour XLR stereo pair outputs (two main line outs, two control room outs)Transformer balanced I/O20 discrete amplifiers and 22 custom-wound transformersTwo real analog VU meters with -20 to +3 dB rangeFull talkback module with 1/4" mic input (front panel)Standard mixer pan and volume controlsFlexible and Expandable The Mini Mixer is far more versatile than it may first appear.
