Mono sends… why is this always the case?
Who wants their sounds panned left/right but the effects all dead center or summed then stereo?
Most synth players I know (including myself) use stereo effects like H90, Strymon, source audio etc…, and want to preserve the sound stage and space.
But, year after year a new mixer comes along and uses this dated format.
Hardpass for me.

In reply to Jason.

If it helps with parsing – it’s just marketing.

But thanks for pointing that out weird wording. I’ve become blind to such BS. As if a brand new product is _vintage_.

I would love a little desktop-format SM-10. Exact same features, 1-to-1, just not a rack, make it small, give it an external power supply. This is so very very close, but the sends are mono, which nukes my use case.

This looks awesome. I would have paid 100 bucks more for it to have full sized outs, but for the price, I am fine buying the adapater cables. I have been looking for something like this that was affordable.

I am attempting to parse the given description that this is a “vintage analog audio mixer”.
Is it not just a “mixer”? And yet a mixer with no faders, and hardly any EQ.

I always look for even a couple of dc coupled outputs when a new mixer is announced, especially an ‘analog mixer’.

Nope.

In reply to john. 1/8" to 1/4" cables are a thing.

“rich and cohesive sound” (and “soft compression” which is what, exactly? but why not, because the loudness war is far from over.) The goal of everything today, to make everything sound like everything else. Because everyone wants to be different, just like everyone else. Also, does an analog mixer actually change the sound appreciably when used with digital synthesizers? I have an old Kawai MX-16 but I don’t expect it to make a rompler sound like an Oberheim, nor should it. A place for everything and everything in its place.
