Description
Technical Overview
The SPL MixDream is a 60V analog accumulator designed for the central integration of analogue equipment within digital production environments, as well as for stereo summation of audio tracks at an analogue level. It operates without panorama controllers and faders, preserving computer automation. Each MixDream can handle 16 audio tracks and can be expanded by adding additional units for more extensive summation. The device employs discrete Class-A technology, ensuring high-quality analog summation with minimal noise and a wide dynamic range.
Main Specifications
- Discrete Class-A technology at 60V
- Low noise level of -97 dBu (A-rated, 16 channels open)
- Dynamic range exceeding 125 dB
- 16 symmetrical insert paths for analog effects integration
- Latency-free listening capabilities
- Two rack units (2U) in height
- Master inserts and switchable output transformers
- Separate differential amplifier for each input
Functional Advantages
- High dynamic range → greater audio clarity and detail
- Low noise level → cleaner signal path, enhancing overall sound quality
- 16 symmetrical insert paths → optimal integration of analog effects into the DAW
- Reduced A/D conversions → lower latency and improved processing efficiency
- Discreetly built low-noise power supply → reliable performance with minimal interference
