Analog Character and Iconic Rotary Control
No word better defines the capabilities of Union Audio’s robust aural offerings than diversity. Appropriately, the orbit.2 LE and orbit.4 LE analog rotary mixers are no exception. Engineered for premium sonic fidelity and inspiring creative possibilities, orbit.2 LE and orbit.4 LE mixers blend distinctive analog warmth with robust interoperative functionalities that support a multifaceted suite of sound sculpting capabilities. Each mixer features completely independent channels, with selectable per-channel phono or line operation, accompanied by per-channel stereo RCA inputs for both. Moreover, dedicated Trim and Auxiliary controls offer up to +10dB for each parameter, with a stereo 1/4-inch I/O pair accommodating auxiliary insert, send, and return connections, making for the inclusion of external effects, drum machines, or additional digital sound sources. DJs at Sweetwater are enamored by the orbit LE mixers’ balance of artistic versatility and capacity to accommodate multitudes of analog or digital sources, with everything intuitively navigated by an interface expressly designed with DJs in mind. Robust Alps rotary faders support exacting precision, offering a satisfying tactility that ensures your blends are seamless and precise, regardless of the source. Built with dual VU meters, a 3-band isolator EQ, and variable-“Q” highpass filters on each channel, the orbit LE range of mixers masterfully melds analog character and dynamic performance, elevating any DJ arrangement, vinyl, digital, or both! Did we mention these offer split/cue mixing?
