A Designs introduced Mix Factory, which takes a fresh approach to analog summing, and is said to deliver “analog warmth with the depth and imaging needed to make your mixes truly stand out.” Mix Factory inputs 16 channels and sums to balanced stereo outputs. All channels are fitted with gain controls, pan pots, and mutes. Two 8-channel groups – each has an insert with mute button – are provided, and there is a master insert for all 16 channels. Mix Factory lets you switch between “clean,” which bypasses the transformers, to “tonal,” which introduces the harmonic enhancement of custom Cinemag output transformers.
