SM Pro Audio PM8 - Eight Channel Passive Summing Mixer
Summing is the process whereby multiple audio tracks are mixed together to a common audio output or outputs. Typically, most multi-track sessions are mixed down to a stereo two-track output. Whilst digital workstations digitally sum audio signals via computer software, analog summing has traditionally
been performed by large format outboard mixing consoles. Many recording professionals regard analog summing as superior to digital summing and believe it provides sonic benefits in regard to clarity, punch, better resolution, the ability to record tracks at higher sample rates without having to dither down at final mix-down, improved imaging, greater headroom during mixing, and much more.
The PM8 is a stand-alone unit designed to passively sum up to 8 audio channel outputs from a digital workstation to a stereo mix. A +24dB internal make up gain stage is provided for two of the three independent stereo outputs, with a pure passive output also available for users wishing to provide their own make-up gain device. With pan, mute, and variable volume attenuation controls, mixing through the PM8 not only delivers that sought after classic analog console sound, but also helps minimize the effects of digital summing. Simply the best of both worlds!
